More gaming news regarding things ending, Lego Dimensions – the youngest of the main 3 “Toy to Life” video games – is no longer going to have any new figure or level releases. This comes after the game being on the market for just over 2 years of what is reported to be a 3 […]
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 […]
Last night I snagged Destiny 2, in my case on the Xbox One. As I have mentioned a bit before, I genuinely enjoyed the first Destiny, and its expansions. While I didn’t do much in the way of strikes and raids, I did enjoy the main game for what it was, the world, the settings, […]
You wouldn’t think something like this would still be as confusing an issue as it is, but the seemingly simple idea of playing an Xbox 360 game on the Xbox One can be incredibly complex to some people. Indeed, in my work video game sales, I often get asked details on this, and when I […]
We’re coming up on another month, which means, yes, another set of games free with Xbox Live Gold. Wow, that reads like a paid advertisement if I’ve ever seen one. Let’s try this again – new month, new games, same old same old. I just really need to pad these out. Anyway, yeah, September games […]
Sonic Mania is, in many ways, the Sonic game I’ve been waiting for since 1995. That would be the year I got Sonic & Knuckles, which was the last of the “Classic” Sonic the Hedgehog titles. After this, the series would eventually, in 1999, move into 3D with understandably different gameplay and, as games came […]
I’m a huge fan of the Classic Sonic the Hedgehog games, so Sonic Mania was a game I just had to play day 1, and play I did. I actually played for quite a few hours today a somewhat rare thing for me to do, and I had a hell of a good time. That […]
We’re reaching the tail end of Summer, the month of August, and that means another stash of games to sit there and rot away on my Xbox One hard drive! Seriously, I need to get around to playing some of these games! Anyway, let’s get going. For the Xbox One, we got Slime Rancher and […]
Microsoft was super late on on getting out the video for July’s Games With Gold. Not just were they late on it, but they also seem to have been at quite a rush on this as the game selection seems lacking – almost as if Microsoft had gotten so wrapped up in E3 they had […]
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 […]
The Metro games have quite the cult following among fans of the post-apocalyptic genre. While Fallout is the most prominent example of the genre, there are many, many different game series that use similar settings: the S.T.A.L.K.E.R series being my personal favorites. There is a very similar yet still unique series, though, based off a […]
Don’t get me wrong, I’m quite excited for Destiny 2, but this trailer was somewhat lacking. It shows a bit more of the upcoming story, but we all know this is all footage we will see in the first 10 minutes of the game! Looks like the Cabal are really laying siege to the City, […]
I absolutely loved the original State of Decay when I played it on the Xbox One in late 2015 or so – while it was originally a 360 title, the Xbox One version contained all the expansion content and was a nice, physical collection – convenient, to say the least. It was the first game […]
A somewhat minor announcement from Microsoft yesterday that has me quite excited is that later in 2017 games from the original Xbox library will be playable on the Xbox One as an extension of backwards compatibility! The original Xbox had a relatively short life – from late 2001, till 2005 and the release of the […]
Yesterday, during their E3 conference, Microsoft finally have a name, a price, and a release time to their long anticipated “Scorpio” project: Xbox One X. While yes, as always you can make some jokes about the name, the fact remains the console, spec wise, looks absolutely amazing. What we have advertised is: Dolby Atmos Sound, […]
