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…
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…
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…
Twenty years ago, I was 17 years old, and had an extreme passion with playing JRPGs and reviewing them in written form. In reality, some of my oldest reviews were written way before 2003, and on an actual ‘word processor’ typewriter. Reviews for games like Suikoden, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and Final…
I guess, if I asked someone the question of “what have been your favorite home console ‘next gen’ moments in any console generation?” The answer would be largely dependent on the age of the person being asked the question. To me, these special moments took place during the 32/64-bit era. The transition from 2-D to…
2005 is here! It brings the last hurray of the short PS2, GC, and Xbox console cycle. In the home console space, the Xbox continued to dominate critical reception with its high-quality titles and superior rendition of multiplatform ports. The PlayStation 2 continued to punch above its pedestrian hardware specs by showcasing some impressive late…
2004 was a star-studded year in gaming. The year is competitive with 1998 in terms of high-quality games. With this in mind, many great games missed the top ten listing. Games such as The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay, NFL 2K5, and Doom 3 all missed the cut. As always, we rarely consider…
If 2002 was a hallmark year for the Nintendo GameCube, then 2003 was an amazing year for Xbox owners. Out of the ten best games (as rated by critics), 4 were Xbox releases and only 2 were PS2 titles. At this point, Xbox games had started to surpass other consoles in terms of visuals and…
By 2001, The PlayStation 2 had begun to receive its sophomore software and its catalogue began to fill up with great games. These games included Final Fantasy X and the cultural phenomenon Grand Theft Auto III. This was also the year where the Dreamcast was, for all intents and purposes, declared ‘dead’. Microsoft and Nintendo…
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? Microsoft’s hardware was multiple times more powerful than Sony’s most successful machine. The Xbox Flexed its Muscles at Launch Halo: Combat Evolved alone was enough to…
