A new week, a new Microsoft rumor. This one, however, isn’t very flattering. A Resetera Forum member called Sponger ignited a fire storm with his ‘insider’ information on 343 Industries and Halo: Infinite.

Throwback Bit Thursday: Turok: Dinosaur Hunter
The Nintendo 64 was the first home console capable of delivering great First Person Shooting experiences.

Fallout 4 (PS4/XB1) Review
HIGH EXPECTATIONS Fallout 3 is a game that I remember most fondly. At the time back in 2008, nothing felt quite like it.
