Forspoken Might Flop While Sonic Frontiers Sells 2.9 Million Units, and The New Zelda Will Be $70

Posted on February 11, 2023February 11, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

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…

Posted on December 13, 2022January 2, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

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…

Posted on August 22, 2022August 22, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

So, I finally found a PlayStation 5 at Walmart this week. It wasn’t on shelves, for some reason Walmart refuses to stock up the PlayStation shelves (more on that below), but alas, I finally have it. It took me 1 year and 8 months after the console’s  launch to find it on stores. It took…

TGIF: Which was the Largest “Next Gen” Console Leap?

Posted on June 3, 2022June 10, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

Throwback Bit Thursday: Dead or Alive 3

Posted on March 31, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

The original Xbox was an amazing machine for its era. At times, the system truly felt like a generational leap over the PlayStation 2. The reason for this?
