Every year, before E3 Microsoft seems to really get behind on some of their monthly videos – in this case, the “Games with Gold” videos at the end of each month which show you what next months games are going to be. At least, I want to say E3 preparation is the cause of the […]
Last night I fired up one of my Xbox 360’s for a little bit of gaming before bed. I was rather surprised when I did turn the console on to discover I had a system update waiting. This would be the first update in 2 years, to a console that’s well past end of life […]
Today was quite the interesting one in the gaming community, and was something I actually wasn’t aware of till just a few weeks ago: Free Video Game Day. It functions much like Free Comic Book Day does for, well, the comic book community. The different is FCBD is sponsored by the comic book industry, directly […]
In a strange mistake by Microsoft, this video was released slightly early, back around the 18th or 19th. It’s since been unlisted, which doesn’t stop me from showing it to you now, so, here we are! Not to give away the ending too early, but this is one of the best months in a very […]
A new month, a new set of free games on via Games With Gold on Xbox. I don’t know why I enjoy covering these – I guess it’s funny, to me, to see just how random the game selections are each month. Besides, it gets hits, so it’s whatever. Right, you know the drill, let’s […]
Time to go over the March 2018 Xbox Live Games With Gold. This looks like it’s going to be a… fun.. month? Oh who am I kidding, this is one of the more strange ones. Let’s just get into it. Okay, for the Xbox One we have Trials of the Blood Dragon and Superhot. There.. […]
Microsoft just put out the February 2018 Xbox Live Games With Gold list and, as always, it’s got some good, and some bad to it. Let’s take a look. Opening up on Xbox One, we have Shadow Warrior and Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: India. Shadow Warrior… Another first person shooter? Well, this one has swords and […]
I’m a little late getting this one up – it’s already January, but this wouldn’t be the first time I was a little behind on getting to covering these. Right, let’s cut straight to this months 4 games: Van Helsing III, ZOMBI, Tomb Raider: Underworld, and Army of Two. On The Xbox One we have […]
Coming up on December already huh? Well, at least we know what the final Games with Gold titles for this year will be. That’s something, right? No? Well we’re looking at them anyway because, it’s just what I do around here. On the Xbox One we have Warhammer: Endtimes – Vermintide and Back to the […]
Today, November 7th, marks the release day for the Xbox One X, a console I’ve been waiting years for. Specification wise, the machine is a powerhouse, to be sure – currently, it’s the “most powerful” game console available, and honestly I want it. That simple. I want to go out and buy one today. Well, […]
So, in more gaming news over the past few days, Microsoft announced that they were ending sales of the Kinect accessory and, I can only presume, no more game software will be released that supports, or at least none that will absolutely require, the device. I’d say, about time. While the Kinect in principle isn’t […]
Looks like Microsoft released this list a little later than they normally would, but that’s okay. Here we have the next set of Games with Gold for November, 2017, and honestly, even I’ll admit, this is a pretty pathetic list. Let’s begin: On the Xbox one we have Trackmania Turbo and Tales from the Borderlands. […]
Windows 95 was a big change to how many people used their computers. Beyond introducing the Start Menu, it was in some ways so different that it could prove difficult for many users to adapt to. To that end, many companies produced VHS tapes designed to help ease people into the new, but very capable, […]
If this entry seems short, forgive me – I had an entire standard GwG article typed, and WordPress decided it would be good to just completely fail at the exact moment I saved the draft post. Anyway, here we go with October’s Games with Gold lineup. As is typical, nothing too much in the way […]
A little while ago, I got a message from a friend of mine telling me he damn near called tech support regarding his new (read, $1000 kind of new ) computer – after a round of Windows updates it wasn’t booting. Right about as he was going to dial them it finally got going, and […]
