2024 Recap: Xbox Launches its Best Games, Xbox Gets out of the Race Against Sony, Astro GotY, and More!
This (2024), has been an interesting year for me. I have dedicated the entire year to hunting down N64 cartridges that are still missing in my collection, all while playing some of the newest games around. My year ends with a Sega Saturn purchase, and a general 1990s vibe. But what was the year in…
