British-American Executive Peter Moore has a long storied history in the video games industry. His time at Sega, as president of Sega of America, and at Microsoft, as Corporate Vice-President of Microsoft’s Interactive Entertainment Business division, make him an invaluable source of history, and information on the industry.

Super Mario 64, Sunshine, and Galaxy are Switch Bound This Month
Just yesterday, we complained about Nintendo’s paltry lineup of titles scheduled for release for the remaining of the year.

Throwback Bit Thursday: Chrono Trigger
If I was asked to mention, or better yet to make a list of the top ten greatest Japanese Role-playing games ever, the number one spot would spark some controversy. Lists of that particular “greatest of all time” kind are always mostly subjective affairs. If someone wants to stand their ground and say that Quest…
Is Pikmin 3 Deluxe All That is Left From Nintendo in 2020?
Nintendo has no games scheduled (at least no big games) scheduled for the Fall.

The Halo Infinite saga, took yet, another turn this week. After numerous rumors of developmental turmoil in the weeks following the disastrous July 23rd presentation.

Throwback Bit Thursday: The Legend of Dragoon
The Legend of Dragoon has been one of the strangest titles that I have ever reviewed. The Playstation Japanese Role-Playing game, released in the year 2000, isn’t a really a special RPG, but it is the one game that I felt was the definition of “Pedestrian” when I first reviewed it, and yet, somehow, it…
Halo Infinite Remains on Target for a 2021 Release on Xbox One/Series X
Halo Infinite’s turbulent development has had enough rumors (both confirmed and unconfirmed) to write an entertaining Netflix series about its controversial development saga. Less than a year ago, when the first trailer for the game was unveiled, everything seemed to have been running smoothly. Microsoft touted the game as a launch title that would showcase…
Bloomberg Reports: New More Powerful Switch Coming in 2021
Nintendo news have been scarce over the Summer. While Microsoft and Sony prepare for the Holidays, and their respective next generation console launches, Nintendo has remained awfully quiet.
