I like to think that I’m fairly resistant to the video game hype train these days. I’ve been in the gaming world for decades at this point, so I should have some sort of a resistance built up to it all by now. In practice though, I’m not so sure that’s true. I don’t pre-order…

8th Generation Memories
Even though the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X are now here and the first few games are already out in the wild, the now-current generation still doesn’t feel real for me. I still see games coming out for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and frankly it’s going to be hard to get one of…
Check Out the New Devil May Cry V – Special Edition Footage
The next-gen consoles are almost here, and they’re bringing a bunch of updated games with them at launch. While some probably prefer to see more truly new games accompanying the systems’ launch (myself being one of them), they’re still creating a reason for people to try out some games they missed during the initial launch…
Gollum is Getting His Own Game?
It’s been several years now since we’ve seen anything of note from the the Lord of the Rings franchise, and I honestly was okay with that. I don’t mean to say that I disliked seeing new Lord of the Rings/Hobbit-themed movies and games over the years. I enjoyed the Hobbit movies for what they were…
Sony State of Play Returns August 6th
Sony’s State of Play is coming back later this week, and it sounds like Sony is looking to give an answer to Microsoft’s recent Xbox Games Showcase. The focus of the show will be entirely on third-party games coming to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR over the next few months. There will be no new…
I Am the Future of Gaming?
I couldn’t help but chuckle a little bit after reading Phil Spencer’s recent and well-meaning Xbox Wire post, “You Are the Future of Gaming.” Microsoft wants to the Xbox Series X to do well, obviously, and Mr. Spencer is an awesome salesman. The post thoughtfully enforces Xbox’s current mantra of inclusion and access — how…
Game Prices Are Going Up, But Should They?
While it hasn’t been officially announced, announcements like NBA 2K21’s new price tag have rumors swirling that game prices will be going up once the PlayStation 5 and Xbox One X hit the market. If the rumors are to be believed, the price of a new game will increase from $60 to $70. I don’t…
PS5 Looks Good, But Will Probably Be All Kinds of Expensive
So Sony has finally revealed the PlayStation 5, and, all router jokes aside, I think it’s looking pretty good. It think it looks cool, but more importantly it looks like it’s going to have a healthy selection of games coming to it in the first few months post-launch. Now the only thing left that we…
Gaming impressions from the PS5 Livestream Event
A week ago, we FINALLY saw it — the PlayStation 5. Two versions of it, in fact. One for physical media, the other, digital only.
A Few Thoughts on the PlayStation 5
Last week, Sony released an…unusual video detailing the PlayStation 5’s technical specifications. And by “unusual,” I mean plain ol’ odd and even a little unsettling, what with Lead System Architect Mark Cerny standing in a “theater” next to a stilted Powerpoint presentation. And by “detailed,” I mean d-e-t-a-i-l-e-d. The announcement dove straight into the depths…
