June 2019 Xbox Live Games With Gold
We’re coming up on another month and you know what that means – another set of games in the Games with Gold lineup. After a somewhat disappointing past few months I’m not expecting too much great, but let’s take a look and judge once we’ve seen what’s available. Starting with the Xbox One we have …

May 2019 Xbox Live Games With Gold
So, Microsoft finally got around to putting up the May Games With Gold video… 3 days late. Yep, they waited until May 3rd to upload it. Go figure. Whatever. We’ll cover it just like we do every Games with Gold announcement, so without any further delay, let’s get to it. It can’t be all bad, …

Hey Microsoft, Why No May Games With Gold Video?
As regular readers know, I like to cover the “Games with Gold” game selection every month by sharing the official video from Microsoft alongside my comments on each game, as presented in the video. If I know more about the game or have an opinion on it outside of Games with Gold, I’ll share that …

No, XLink Kai And Xbox Live Are Not The Same Thing
When I originally noticed that flub in the April 2019 Xbox Live Games With Gold video saying that online game play modes were available for Star Wars BattleFront 2, an original Xbox game, I made the comment that “there is no way to play Original Xbox games online.” That’s not entirely correct, but for the …

March 2019 Xbox Live Games With Gold
We’re coming into Spring (or at least, should be soon, the weathers been a bit crazy recently) and with a new month comes new games in the Xbox Live “Games with Gold” program. A refresher for you — these games are “free” with an active Xbox Live Gold subscription. I say “free” in quotes because …

January 2019 Xbox Live Games With Gold
Woohoo! It’s about to be a new year and with that comes, well, a new month and new Games with Gold. 2018 wasn’t a bad year by any means – it had its high and low points, but on a whole provided a good selection of games and a few that I enjoyed checking out. …

December 2018 Xbox Live Games With Gold
Well now, it’s the end of the year. Time for one last set of games, and here we have… well, it’s games. I’ll spare the intro and get right to the video and my thoughts on this end of the year set of free games. Let’s begin! On the Xbox One, we have Q.U.B.E. 2 …

November 2018 Xbox Live Games With Gold
Alright, time for another set of “free” games from Microsoft. I put free in quotes because quite a few people argue about how “free” these games are given that they are available with an active Xbox Live Gold subscription. I’ll go into the details of this in the future but to put it simply, these …

October 2018 Xbox Live Games With Gold
It’s that time yet again – Octobers Games with Gold releases have been announced, and it’s… exactly what you would expect, honestly. Let’s get into it. First off on the Xbox One we have “Overcooked!” and “Victor Vran.” Oh boy. Overcooked. One of those games, take an idea like cooking, make a party game out …

September 2018 Xbox Live Games With Gold
Oh good, Microsoft got off their tails and actually released this video before September began! Nice. You know the drill, 4 new games this month free alongside an active Xbox Live Gold subscription. Enough talk, let’s get down to the video and the games themselves! Opening up on the Xbox One we have Prison Architect …

August 2018 Xbox Live Games With Gold
Oh boy, finally getting around to these. Now, I know I normally try to get these out in the last week of the previous month, when they get announced officially by Microsoft, and a few times I’ve been late to getting these articles written. Well, in this case, Microsoft themselves dropped the ball, and didn’t …

July 2018 Xbox Live Games With Gold
Well, it was a good couple of months, but it looks like Microsoft has gotten back to a less-than-stellar lineup of games for Games with Gold the past few months, and July looks to be no exception – or so it would seem at a glance, at least. Let’s take a look. Starting off on …

E3 Is Not A Contest
I feel myself having to say this point blank every single year. The annual Electronic Entertainment Expo, commonly known as E3, is a trade show. It is not some kind of contest. There are no “winners” or “losers” at the event, it is simply a trade show, just as much as CES is for general …

The Xbox E3 2018 Briefing In Under 3 Minutes
Every year I make it a point to only halfway care about E3. The event is generally just a concerted hype show and nothing more at this stage, about as outdated to me as many consider newspapers and the like. That being said, I’m still a gamer, and still have to pay some attention to …
