In an Xbox Wire post titled What You Can Expect From the Next Generation of Gaming, Phil Spencer…
Hollow Knight Was an Unforgettable Experience
Having limited money to spend on games, the two main times when my gaming library is allowed to grow is my birthday and Christmas. And so, by the time these special dates arrive, I have a selection of games already on my wish list. I’ve been able to largely keep up with my gaming wants…
GTA Online: Choose Your Own Adventure
On paper, Grand Theft Auto Online was a game I long found unappealing. Between its lack of story, general grind, and players’ apparent propensity for causing mayhem, it just didn’t sound like much of a good time.

It’s Good to Be Back in Liberty City…Or Is It?
