Halo 5 was free for the past week and a half in celebration of the release of the new Warzone Firefight game mode, and I have to say, after it all got downloaded (which took what seemed like forever) I did have plenty of time to actually try out the new game mode, as well …

What’s the Point if You’re Not Having Fun?
Heads up: this is a rather disjointed rant. Get over it. I play video games to have fun, relax, and enjoy myself. It’s my hobby, something I do because it pleases me. When I play a game, I expect to have a challenge, sure, but I do expect that challenge to be fair, to make …

July 2016 Xbox Live Games With Gold
Wow, I’m a little late for this one aren’t I? Read the previous article if you need to know why, but that’s not the point. The point is, as always, new month, new set of free games with an active Xbox Live Gold Membership. Comments this month are.. something else. People are constantly complaining about …

Interesting enough to me, it looks like Halo 5 is going to be free for the next week for Xbox Live Gold members to play and enjoy! During this week, the game will also be on sale for half price, which, at $30 USD, isn’t bad at all for the amount of content being added …

Sega Genesis vs Super Nintendo – James Rolfe
For seemingly as long as there have been gaming consoles, there have been console wars. Much like the battle between the Xbox One and the Playstation 4 today, in the past there have been console after console battling it out for dominance of the market. In the late 80’s into the early 90’s, Nintendo had …

Super Mario Bros. – NES Game Review
There is quite a bit that can be said about Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo Entertainment System. For many gamers my age, Super Mario Bros. is one of their first and most fond gaming memories, and for good reason: It is the game responsible for selling the NES in the American market following the …

World War One First Person Shooter Verdun is Coming to the Xbox One and Playstation 4
World War One, by all accounts I’ve heard, would be the closest thing to “Hell on Earth” that has ever happened in human history. In many ways, it was the first true “modern” war, and in an equal number of ways was the last “traditional” war. The Verdun video game is based on the events …

Writing About What I Want, When I Want, How I Want – An Update
So, over the past few months I’ve been writing more. Much much more than I have in months, indeed, in years past. I’ve expressed before that I am switching over from making YouTube videos to writing more. I still crank out the occasional video, but at this stage, it’s so much easier to write than …

An Odd Quirk About Halo 3 Game Saves
So, I’ve been playing Halo 3 recently. Both on the Xbox One, via The Master Chief Collection, and the original Xbox 360 release from 2007. It’s a fun game, sure, and since I own a copy, why not go ahead and play through it on the 360 as well as the Xbox One, right? It’s …

Why I’m Not Excited For Virtual Reality
Remember back around 2009, when 3D movies became a big thing? Avatar, a generic Sci-Fi film that was basically the story of Pocahontas set on an alien plant, became the highest grossing film of all time (more on that in another article, maybe) and for what reason? It was the leader of the 3D film …

Xbox Design Lab – Xbox One Controller
One of the more interesting announcements this E3 was a custom controller design and build service being offered by Microsoft for the Xbox One. For about $15 more than the price of a standard off the shelf controller, you can have one custom built using a color scheme you select, as well as, for an …

The Computer Chronicles – CES 1991
Before E3, there was (and still is) a tech industry event known as the Consumer Electronics Show, or CES. This show is exactly what it sounds like, a trade exposition where new consumer technology is shown off, much of the time in some active state, be it simply a demo version, beta software, or just …

Who Won E3? The Answer May Surprise You!
Hey, look, a click bait title! No, I haven’t sold out, I’ve got a point in this, which will (hopefully) make sense as you read. E3 2016 is over, and I, like so many other gamers, are looking over the fallout of it, as we do every year, to see what to make of the …
