In 2014, Ubisoft released their highly anticipated hacking-centric open world shooter “Watch Dogs”, and it was met with mixed emotions. Many players loved the unique gameplay element of hacking into various electronics, and felt the city of Chicago was captured well, but criticized the driving controls, some story and character elements and most of all, […]
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, […]
Next weekend is going to be a big one for the gaming world; this years Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3, the largest event in the gaming world, will be occurring in Los Angeles. I’m not one for hype… gaming hype especially is often the key thing ruining a game experience for many, but with the […]
I’ve been playing Farcry 4 off and on for the past few months. Yeah, it’s a 2014 title, but it’s still a good one – in fact, it was the first game I bought for my Xbox One when I purchased it last year, but only in November of 2015 did I get around to […]
Many gamers felt the Games with Gold offerings in May 2016 were sub par. Even I felt they were rather hit and miss, but I never turn down a chance for free games, and I always look forward to what the next month will offer – you never know when a random game will become […]
UK based YouTube Channel “Xbox On” uploaded a short video I found relatively interesting; at least, interesting enough to write about here, where they list 36 facts about the Xbox 360 game console. Now, honestly, this number is an exaggeration. There are maybe 10 main facts, if even that many, with various ancillary facts related […]
Titanfall, released in 2014, was quite the unique game. A typical online first person shooter with a unique twist – giant battling robots mixed in with on-ground troops. Throw in some unique weapons and parkour elements in-game, and you have a release that I enjoyed. The game wasn’t as well received by everyone, however. Titanfall […]
Another month, another set of free games with an Xbox Live Gold Subscription. As before, we are taking a look at 2 games for the Xbox 360, and 2 games for the Xbox One. These games can be redeemed even if you do not own the console, and the Xbox 360 titles are playable on […]
It’s that time of the month again; Microsoft has told us what the new Games With Gold will be for March 2016. For those who don’t know, Games With Gold is Microsoft’s free games program with a paid Xbox Live Gold Subscription; 2 games for the Xbox One, and 2 games for the Xbox 360. […]
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. […]
While looking over my YouTube channel, I noticed something – many of my videos are about video game console repair. In one way or another, from the Atari 2600 to the Xbox 360, I have video after video of getting inside the plastic shell of these machines and fixing problems these machines may have. From […]
About 2 months ago, I finally decided to take the plunge and buy an Xbox 360. It’s amazing that after nearly 9 years of the console being available I only just recently purchased one, but I tend to go for cost effectiveness over need to be current. In addition, I have focused heavily over the […]
Last year, the Xbox One and the Playstation 4 were released to the North American market, pushing all 3 major game console manufacturers into the 8th Generation of gaming, following the release of the Nintendo WiiU in 2012. Like every generation of consoles before them, these consoles represent a new stage in console gaming hardware, […]
After 7 years of the Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360 being the dominant players in the home console gaming market, the time has finally come for Sony and Microsoft to begin telling the world more about the successors to the current generation of gaming consoles. The first bit of information coming out though doesn’t […]
