Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Coming to PS5: Should Xbox Fans Be Concerned About the Future?
A few years ago, when Microsoft was buying studios left and right, and even got into an epic legal battle with Sony over the Activision (Call of Duty) buyout. Many wondered if the software giant would use its considerable (if not nearly infinite) financial reserves to match, and eventually choke Sony out of the hardware…
Cliff Bleszinski: Gears of War Needs a Reboot
Cliff Bleszinski, the creator and director of the original Gears of War trilogy said, in a recent interview with Comic Book , that Gears of War as a franchise needs a reboot along the lines of God of War (2018). In reality, Gears of War under the Coalition, has been much more successful in terms of…
Spencer: Microsoft Acquiring Nintendo Would Be a “Career Moment!”
Xbox Head, Phil Spencer, has been known for being a ‘lovable’ guy, a gamer first, and the man who wants games to be available on all platforms for all of the world to enjoy! Yet, in my experience, people do not get into powerful positions within mega corporations by just being ‘good’ and ‘passing the…
News Round-Up: Baldur’s Gate 3 Challenges Zelda, FFXVI Falls Short in Sales Expectations, and is Xbox Series S Holding Back the Series X?
Regrettably, I might have underestimated Baldur’s Gate 3’s potential as a GotY contender when I proclaimed a few weeks ago that only Starfield remained – as a yet to be released title – posing a serious challenge to Nintendo’s Masterpiece (The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom). Baldur’s Gate has arrived on PC, and…
Spencer: Losing the Xbox One Gen (To Sony) Was the Worst Generation to Lose
Xbox’s history in gaming now spans over two decades. Hard to believe that PlayStation, as a brand, is only about 5 years older. Still, the Xbox didn’t perform badly on its freshman debut, as the original Xbox (24 million units sold) managed to outsell Nintendo’s GameCube (21.7 Million units sold), and had a bunch of…
Forspoken Might Flop While Sonic Frontiers Sells 2.9 Million Units, and The New Zelda Will Be $70
Square Enix, Sega and Nintendo, have all made head lines this week. One would think that we might have travelled back to the 1990s, but sadly, that is not case. Out of the three headlines that we will discuss here, only one is positive, and that’s Sonic Frontiers’ commercial success despite the game’s ho-hum critical…
An Honest 2023 Look at Golden Eye 007 on Xbox Series X
About 3 weeks ago, Golden Eye returned on modern consoles (namely Xbox One/ Series X/S and Nintendo Switch) courtesy of Rare and Microsoft. The title is a remaster in the purest meaning of the ‘remastered’ word. Golden Eye remains the same game that graced the Nintendo 64, but with enhancements such as a 16:9 widescreen…
Spencer: 2022 Was Too Light on (Xbox) Games 2023 Will Be Better
At this point, for at least a decade, it has been established that Sony, and its PlayStation brand, are the home of the best exclusive content, and AAA single player games. On the other hand, Microsoft (and Xbox) has the best game’s service app in its Game Pass platform. Still, Sony continues to win the “console…
Fable Reboot: Development in Trouble?
If you have read my work on this site, you will know that I like the Fable series, and that its reboot is one of my most anticipated titles on the Xbox Series X. Microsoft, so far, has had nothing to compete against Sony’s Ghost of Tsushima and Horizon series in the open world role…
