With the Christmas holiday behind us I thought I’d do something nice for the community at large, for what its worth, and share some simple tips on taking care of the console you, or a friend, may have gotten (new or used, it’s all the same here), all from the perspective of someone who’s been …

PlayStation 4 HDMI Ports Are The Worst
I’m going to be pretty point blank here: The PlayStation 4, namely the “standard” model that much of the owners of the system have, has absolutely terrible HDMI ports. Don’t even begin to defend this or claim it not true, because guess what: it is. At the shop we have over the past 6 months …

Call Of Duty: WWII – The E3 Reveal And Interview
Getting back to E3 coverage (a week and a half late, mind you) I have more footage to share of the new Call of Duty game, simply titled “Call of Duty: WWII.” It looks like it will be a fine enough game, and certainly will go back to CoD’s roots, but I have seen some …

Dear Parents: Modern Game Consoles Demand Internet Access
Working in game sales for the day job, I quite often have parents buying new video games, and new game consoles, for their children.That’s great, let the younger ones game on cutting edge hardware for their time, just as I did in the 90’s. The thing is, it isn’t the 90’s anymore. Gaming hardware is …

A Rant on Downloadable Content
Downloadable Content. Intended as a way to expand the quality of a game after its initial release, many gamers see it as a bane of their gaming experience, often feeling it is nothing more than a way to milk more money out of the consumer who already spent $60 or more on their new game. …
