The Mass Effect series is one of my favorites in gaming of any era, based almost solely on 2 and 3. I generally consider Mass Effect 2 to be my favorite game ever; I love the characters, the combat, the setting, and the story.   My history with the first game is a little bit more hit-and-miss: I bought a 360 so I could play Mass Effect. But the infuriating Mako sections, long load times, and uneven combat slowed my…

E3 is right around the corner now! In fact…its next week! And my craZy E3 predictions continue. This week I talk about what we should expect from Sony… Sony isn’t taking part in E3. So I predict NOTHING. The end Whew. Easy column to write… …. Okay. Okay. Here are some really CraZy predictions for Sony: There will be a surprise E3 State of Play. Sony will announce it sometime next week. It’ll be on Friday. They will start off…

Sony took to the interwebs yesterday and unleashed a new State of Play featuring 14 minutes of gameplay from the upcoming Horizon Forbidden West. While we didn’t get a release date that I was at least hoping for, this game looks absolutely AMAZING from what we have seen. I for one cannot wait to go adventuring again with Aloy. Official Statement from Sony blog: We’re excited to share the very first gameplay reveal of Horizon Forbidden West with you on…

There’s been a fresh wave of concern over the prospect of “cross-gen” games this week – or games that’ll come to both the PS4 generation consoles and PS5/Series X. It’s getting beyond old. Every few months it’s the same thing: “we can’t see what these devices are truly capable of until they ditch PS4 and Xbox One.” And while that’s partly true in some extreme use cases – situations where the game’s physics are tied to a better GPU or…

Covid, strange working conditions, a general feeling of overhype – the first E3 since 2019 is going to be the same as all E3s, but with added barriers. That means a little bit underwhelming, and 2021 has so much more to take into account. That’s not to say it’ll be unwatchable. It’ll be the usual combination of okay trailers, seemingly random mid-tier games being advertised like they’re AAAA and moments of insanity both good and bad. But gamers are famously…

You’ve seen the werewolves. You’ve seen the ridiculously sexed-up memes about giant vampire ladies. Other than giving the internet a new fetish, Resident Evil Village is a worthy new entry in the long-running series – and a great indicator of just what these new consoles are capable of. The latest Resident Evil seems to have been more meme than game for most of its known existence. Don’t let that put you off. For all the cookyness we already know and…

Art is rarely art for art’s sake, especially in any popular industry. Men in suits will always be sat behind the scenes, deciding what art is the “right art” – and for right art read “profitable and inoffensive”. Make a splash, but make sure it’s the right splash. Fresh, but not too fresh. In other words, business as usual. But the Epic Vs Apple trial has given us an unusually intimate look behind the scenes at how some of these…

  In a new Sony blog post Paul George posted the following: Creating sneaker collaborations with PlayStation and Nike Basketball has been one of my favorite pastimes in recent years, and I’m so thankful to this community for supporting me and sharing in my passion. Like many of you, I’ve been a die-hard PlayStation fan all my life, so it’s an honor to introduce my newest creative project with my favorite brands: the PG 5 PlayStation 5 colorway. Just like…

In a move that may have some pretty cool benefits down the pipeline for gamers as a whole. Sony announced a new partnership with Discord, while not new to the industry as Microsoft too has a partnership this may lead to some exciting benefits for us all. Perhaps some better cross platform voice stuff, or streaming capabilities, we don’t know for sure. But it is good to see both of these titans embracing this tech that so many people already…

Having played video games for well over 30 years, some experiences stick in mind more than others. Some you can play through and put down and move on to the next thing. Some games become habit-forming and become part of a routine like Fortnite or Warzone. And then there is Returnal a game that has stuck with me so much that I literally had nightmares about it last night after playing. But I’m getting ahead of myself here. Returnal is…
