Long time readers may recall I was pretty big on Destiny 2 last year, playing it pretty regularly and sometimes writing about it here where I felt it relevant. By about May of 2018, though, I just stopped, and haven’t really fired the game back up at all since that time. I figured it’d be …

In a bit of more cool gaming news yesterday, Microsoft announced that Halo: Master Chief Collection (MCC) would be coming to PC soon, while also announcing that they would (finally) be adding Halo Reach to the game! Halo, for better or worse, is the flagship game series for the Xbox brand. Hell, Master Chief Collection …

Apex Legends: First Impressions
After a long enough download phase, I finally gave Apex Legends a shot earlier and, as I said last night, I’m writing my first impressions here now. Let’s get the formalities out of the way – this isn’t a review this is just a capturing of my first thoughts. This is after all of 30 …

Before I Try Apex Legends…
I wanted to get my thoughts out on Apex Legends here on launch day before I give the game a try. It’s very rare that I would do something like this but for this game, well, I felt it at least worth doing, and getting thoughts out before I play it — when my opinion …

About Those Recent Xbox Live Outages
In a bit of current gaming news that spawned some “discussion” worth commenting on, Microsoft had some issues this past week regarding their Xbox Live service. Now, I didn’t pay too much attention to this for two reasons – one, I was busy, and two, when I did fire up my Xbox One during said …

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 …

The Difference Between A Fun And An Annoying Titanfall 2 Match – How Your Opponents Play
As I mentioned sometime last week, I’ve been playing Titanfall 2 quite a bit the past month or so, really getting into the grit of the online multiplayer scene. Coming in 2 years late I’ve naturally had a rough start, but I’ve gotten into a groove with the game, refined my play style, figured out …

So I’ve Been Playing Quite A Bit Of Titanfall 2 Lately
It’s funny, for a blog with a moderate focus on gaming I don’t actually write about my own time playing games all that often. That’s quite probably due to the fact that I rarely actually spend that much time actually playing games – sometimes taking breaks spanning multiple months between times when I’ll seriously fire …

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 Full Xbox E3 2018 Briefing
Might as well get to the bulk of my E3 coverage this year: the actual presentation by the major players — at least, the ones I care to share here directly. As I’ve made known over the years, I only pay as much attention to E3 as I need to to be aware of what’s …
