F1 2021 the game is just about a month from release, and Codemasters has put a lot into this year’s edition of the vaunted franchise. The game looks great this year, and features a variety of ways to play: Breaking Point Story Mode promises on- and off-track drama, starring former F2 nemesis from 2019’s game, Devon Butler.

More Thoughts From Me E3 Special Edition: And The Winner Is…
E3 2021 is over! Was it the best E3 ever? Nope. Was it fun? Yep. But, who won? Did anyone win? Let’s talk about who the “winner” of E3 is! E3 2021 was alright. It wasn’t the best E3 ever.

Read MoreWill Elden Ring be at Summer Game Fest? What We Know So Far
Games always get overhyped before they come out and Elden Ring is no exception.

While we cannot answer that with any certainty, we can talk about what we know heading into today's event!
Read MoreDoes PlayStation Skipping an E3 Presentation Matter?
It is no secret that many feel that the cockiness of Sony is catching up to them with the launch of the PS5. After absolutely dominating the console marketplace last generation - PS4 vastly outsold the Xbox One - and releasing mega hit after mega hit, some have felt that has gone to Sony's head much like the success of the Xbox 360 went to Microsoft's. Is it fair to say that Sony is living off the good will and sheer love of PlayStation fans? Probably. Does them skipping the E3 presentation circuit a sign of cockiness or simply a business decision? I'm going ...

Read MoreThe Cross-Gen Concern is Getting Old
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…
Read MoreE3 Is Coming – Keep Your Expectations Low
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.
