A couple of months ago, The Outer Worlds (TOW)Â came out on Steam. My 1st playthrough was, incidentally, right on the heels of my most recent Fallout: New Vegas (F:NV) run, which inspired me to write this. The Outer Worlds is a spiritual successor of Fallout: New Vegas. It was developed by the same company, Obsidian…

Fallout: New Vegas, Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Game
I recently started a new save file on Fallout: New Vegas, and I’m enjoying it more now than ever. New Vegas was released on October 19th, 2010 as a follow-up to 2008’s Fallout 3.

Miles Morales did not Sell Well, but Cyberpunk Sells 13 Million Units
Sony’s PlayStation 5 killer app (personally, I think Demon’s Souls is the true killer app), Spider Man: Miles Morales, flunked at the box office with only 600,000 units moved during the launch period. The number is staggeringly low when you factor in that it launched across both the PS4 (with its nearly 115 million unit…

CD Projekt, a company that gained respect, and the gaming community’s love with its Witcher franchise is now in shambles. I have never seen such a precipitous fall from grace for a “AAA” gaming company within the span of a week. Literally, two weeks ago the company was one of the most beloved publisher/developers in…
Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt, and the Evils of Sinning by Omission
It has been nearly a week since Cyberpunk 2077’s much awaited, and now much maligned launch. The game has provided a very good, though bug filled role-playing gaming experience for high end PC players, and a poor, broken at times, bug filled experience for users at the other end of the spectrum (2013’s console owners). …
Halo 5: Guardians (Xbox One) Review
A spouse (343 Industries) tries incredibly hard to please their partner (gamers and critics) by preparing their favorite dish (Halo), a dish that the spouse’s parent (Bungie) has served them for as long as they could recall in perfect tasting fashion. The spouse, lovingly tries as hard as they can, following the proper recipe, and…
