2024 Recap: Xbox Launches its Best Games, Xbox Gets out of the Race Against Sony, Astro GotY, and More!
This (2024), has been an interesting year for me. I have dedicated the entire year to hunting down N64 cartridges that are still missing in my collection, all while playing some of the newest games around. My year ends with a Sega Saturn purchase, and a general 1990s vibe. But what was the year in…

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.

Maneater Review
These days, I find that true open world western RPGs are a better fit for me than non Soulsborne/Zelda Japanese RPGs. Playing Maneater and its cheap Expansion to the very end within a week is confirmation of the growing chasm between myself and modern JRPGs. I shouldn’t have enjoyed Maneater as much as I did, but…

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).

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…
