This week, toys-to-life fans were dealt a major shock when Disney announced that they were ending Disney Infinity and also closing the company that made it. Not only that, but Disney is getting out of making games altogether! My thoughts on the game, this shocking announcement and Disney leaving the industry are below. Also: I’m asking all of our readers: What do you think of all of this? I couldn’t believe what I was hearing! Disney announced that they were…

After playing through the Prologue of Battleborn, I was fairly excited for what the game, on a single player level, might be able to offer. As with all online centered titles, it is often hard to create an enjoyable single player experience. I often find that you are damned if you do, and damned if you don't. Gearbox fell into this trap and ends up taking a lot of heat, probably causing the developers to thing, "Was it worth it?"

In a new report out of the UK, Kotaku cited a few sources who claim Microsoft had suitors lined up to purchase the Fable IP, and perhaps, keep the studio itself open. However, these reports claim that Microsoft rejected the offers, opting to protect their own IP, perhaps for future development. The question needs to be asked though, does Microsoft have a moral - not legal - right to those employees to do their best to keep them employed? It's a thought I've seen more than once since this report came out, but these criticism's are unfounded.

Last year, I was unimpressed by Sony and Microsoft. They didn’t have much to show for their new systems and yet, many people were pleased with them, especially Sony. You would think with Nintendo showing only one game this year, that it would be an easy win for Sony and Microsoft this year. I have my doubts. I also have my hopes for them! Some people try to act like E3 isn’t a competition. They say “gamers” are the real…

We recently began working on our Battleborn review, and the prologue got us really intrigued for what more we could get out of this multiplayer focused game. Instead of plowing through more of the campaign, we jumped online to see what multiplayer offerings were to be had. While Battleborn lacks a variety of common online modes, the 3 available game types are varied enough to keep you playing for hours on end. Unfortunately, the game would probably perform better in a 3rd person view rather than a 1st person view, but its not an option given to you. This is ...

If you are like me, you love anything that is customizable. When Jake over at Performance Design Products told me he was shipping over their new Afterglow Wired Xbox One Controller, I was pretty excited. Listen, I get excited about flashy things and let's face it, PDP is know for quality and lots and lots of flash.

All I have seen on the Internet since Battleborn launched on May 3rd was how amazing the prologue was. To the credit of everyone who said it, they were absolutely right. Through the awesome and fresh cinematic, to the choice of music, to the introduction of various game play mechanics, the beginning of Battleborn gets off to a wonderful start. For a game that relies so heavily on its multiplayer portion, the fun-to-play prologue is really pushing the idea of Battleborn being a fun game, even alone.

Jezy's back! And that can only mean one thing - another video. Except instead of doing a product unboxing or review, we are posting up some of his livestreams. Today, it is a Call of Duty stream. Not only does Jezy provide some great knowledge about the franchise and the game, but adds a little bit of humor to keep you watching. If funny quips or some crazy Call of Duty action are your cup of tea, make sure to give this video a watch!

Microsoft quietly launched a Microsoft Studios digital sale this week with some deep discounts on some of the studios best titles. For those with Xbox Live Gold, you will find even more savings on specific titles. While not every title available will peak your interest, I'm sure you will find plenty of items you are willing to drop a few dollars on.

Although rumors have surfaced that EA is giving away Battlefield Hardline and Battlefield 4 Premium DLC first to only EA Access members, many outlets are reporting - and many consumers are indicating - that this DLC has been free since earlier this week for all Xbox and Playstation owners.
