Spencer: Microsoft Acquiring Nintendo Would Be a “Career Moment!”

Posted on September 21, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

Fable Reboot: Development in Trouble?

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

Microsoft to Acquire Activision/Blizzard; Game Pass is About to get Beefier

Posted on January 18, 2022January 18, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

The Big News today has to do with Microsoft shocking the business world by acquiring Activision in a historic 68.7 billion dollar deal. Given the Call of Duty fanbase currently playing on the PlayStation 4/5 platform, future exclusivity of this and other franchises could deliver a massive blow to the Japanese giant. Microsoft is not…

This week, as we have previously speculated on NER since Bethesda’s buy out, industry insider, Jeff Grubb (VentureBeat), claimed that both Starfield, and The Elder Scrolls 6 will be Xbox ‘exclusive’ titles.

Throwback Bit Thursday: The Bard’s Tale

Posted on July 15, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

Very few games, especially ‘average’ ones, have managed to leave a lasting impression on me nearly two decades after I last played them. The Bard’s Tale, however, managed to do just that. It was an average game that managed to leave a lasting (and somewhat positive) image of itself in my memories, despite its flaws….
