Despite what haters might say, Microsoft delivered a robust and game heavy showcase last week that generally left gamers with an excitement for next generation in their mouths. Games, so many games, all coming to the Xbox Series X, some coming to Xbox One, and...wait...all going to be available on Game Pass on day one?!

We’ve seen 4k/60fps, we’ve seen raytraced lighting and ridiculously pretty textures – but if you believe the chatter on forums, we still haven’t seen next-gen. Why? Because armchair experts and fanboys would rather water down the medium with bitching than spend even a second getting excited. It’s happened all over again with the Xbox conference this week. The most rabid in our community have declared it ‘Not Next-Gen’ and so the question is: what even is next-gen? The answer will…

It's been a while since we got to jump into a brand new Halo experience, but we will be getting that opportunity soon when Halo Infinite launches. Two things struck me when watching the gameplay trailer. 1) This looks like more Halo; and 2) holy crap this looks fantastic.

Obsidian's next big gaming experience is hitting Xbox One on July 28th, and I personally cannot be more excited. With hundreds of hours played in similar games - Hello ARK Survival Evolved! - I cannot wait to dive into Grounded with friends.

Xbox Canada was at it again this week, sending us over a pair of custom Adidas shoes, in glorious green and branded with the Xbox logo, in celebration of this weeks Xbox Games Showcase. These shoes were sent to media around Canada, with the following card info included:

The same complaint that a lot of annual sports video game franchises receive is (mostly) true with NASCAR Heat 5. This year’s game feels basically like a roster and car paint update compared to previous versions. The driving model feels a lot better — my cars don’t just spin with the slightest contact, and I’m finding it easier to get involved in drafts and pushes. The game also just looks better, though that could be because I’m playing this year’s…

Mojang recently released their Jungle Awakens DLC pack for Minecraft Dungeons, the first of two planned packs offered as part of the $30 Hero Edition of the game (the packs can still be purchased individually). Even if you don’t buy the DLC, there’s a free level, Lower Temple, on the main map.  That map has also been updated to show other hidden levels you may have missed along your playthrough.  On top of that, you can join a game hosted…

There really isn't a point to sugar coating it. Prior to the introduction of Xbox Game Pass - a brilliant business decision that puts fans first - Microsoft was floundering with the Xbox One family in the console space. Big franchises seemed to die on the platform, most notably Fable, and the console just never picked up steam to compete with the PlayStation 4. And all of these critiques comes from a guy who played the majority of games this generation on the Xbox One X.

E3 is dead, long live E3. Well, okay, E3 is dead this year. We don’t know if it’ll be back next year or not. What we do know is that some companies still want to show off their games. And so we got digital events this month. I want to talk about a couple of them!   There was no E3 this year but we did get several digital only events like Summer Games Fest, whatever IGN was doing, and…
