Today marked the release of the final Destiny expansion, The Rise of Iron. Yes, that’s right, the final expansion. That “10 year plan” they spoke of apparently only went for 3, going in to 4 years. Their next plan is to release a full on new game, currently spoken of as “Destiny 2” and to …

August 2016 Xbox Live Games With Gold
August looks like it’s going to be an awesome month for free games from the Games With Gold program. Previous months have been hit or miss, but this month I think, depending on the kind of gamer you are, will more than make up for it. Let’s begin! Xbox One Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate The …

Hawken on Xbox One – Initial Thoughts and Review
I’m a big fan of the sci-fi trope known as Mecha. These massive, humanoid, piloted battle machines are in many stories key plot elements (Evangelion, Gundam, Mechwarrior, for examples) and have been present in many video games, from side instances in Halo 4 and 5, to being central gameplay elements like in Titanfall or Shogo: …

Halo 5 Free Play Days are Over. Thank you for Playing!
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 …

Halo 5 is Free for the Next Week
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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

First Look at Titanfall 2 Single Player and Multiplayer Trailers
Make no mistake about it, I genuinely enjoy Titanfall. I’m a fan of mechs as is, and to have a FPS that is mech based was a great idea. Titanfall had massive hype, but sad to say, to the masses, it didn’t deliver. While being multiplayer only, usually a bane to my enjoyment of a …

Destiny: Rise of Iron Reveal Trailer
Looks like Destiny is falling into the yearly update cycle proper with this next expansion – a cycle started last year with The Taken King expansion. Steady content updates are good things, you have to keep games like this fresh for people to keep wanting to play, and considering the love it or hate it …

Xbox One S
What better to start my E3 2016 posts with than what is probably the most major “ready to go” product announcement this year: the new, slimline Xbox One. I make no effort to hide that I am an Xbox fan now. Oddly, it was the Xbox One that made me want to try Microsoft’s hardware, …

As E3 Keeps Moving Along, My Plans for Covering All The News
E3 2016 has already been quite a bit of excitement, with announcements we all expected combined with some that are coming totally out of left field. So far I haven’t written much of anything about it simply due to me waiting for the bulk of the announcements I would care about (namely Sony and Microsoft) …
