Well, its over folks. E3 is over. Thats all folks! Here’s the official statement and some thoughts for us after. RIP E3. We knew this was coming. E3 was taking on less importance and the event didn’t even take place this year or last. The writing seemed to be on the wall. And so now here we are. Its been officially confirmed that there will be no more E3. With the rise of digital events, first from Nintendo, then Sony…

Yes, The Series S Will Play GTA6
Grand Theft Auto 6 has been unveiled and it looks amazing. But as is standard, it’s led to a standard reaction in some of the more reactionary parts of the internet. So let’s put it to rest right here: the Series S will play GTA6 just fine. No, it won’t hold anything back. The next Grand Theft Auto will undoubtedly be mindblowing wherever you end up playing it. That is, after all, what Rockstar do. Red Dead Redemption 2 was…
Read MoreIs It Worth Buying an Xbox in 2024?
As we end what was supposed to be Microsoft’s first big Xbox year in a while, there are questions (some fairly trolly) about the future of the brand. And besides that, the green team are making it easier than ever to play their games without needing to buy a console. So should you buy their box? The Xbox Series X remains a fantastic console. The Series S is a brilliant cheap entry into this generation’s devices for those that aren’t…
Read MoreAlan Wake 2 Review
If you miss how Resident Evil and Silent Hill use to be, then boy do we have a game for you. Alan Wake 2 is a modern survival horror game that also feels like a throwback to the good old days. Should you check it out? Here’s our review of Alan Wake 2 for the Xbox Series. In Alan Wake 2, you play as two different characters: there’s FBI agent Saga Anderson and at some point you’ll get Alan Wake…
Read More2023: What a Year It’s Been
It’s that time of the year where I start thinking about Christmas guides. And man, 2023 has been something special. We look back at 1998 and 2004 and we remember them as years where gaming evolved. Title after title that defined a generation – and an entire industry. And, you know, I think 2023 may just end up being one of them. Granted, it’s hard to tell. One of the important things about those two years is longevity. Metal Gear…

Arcadian Atlas, a strategy rpg, is coming to consoles next week! Check out the launch trailer below. Acadian Atlas is coming to Nintendo Switch, Playstation, Xbox, and STEAM on November 30th. Thats next week. This game looks really cool. Its a strategy rpg that reminds me a lot of Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Orge. I love the art style and just everything I see about the game so far. It’ll make a great addiction to all the systems, though…
Read MoreMotorcycle Mechanic Simulator 2021 Review
Motorcycle Mechanic Simulator 2021 has hit the Xbox consoles, bringing a whole new level of realism and excitement to virtual garage enthusiasts. As a devout fan of both motorcycles and simulation games, I couldn’t wait to get my hands dirty in this digital workshop. One of the first things that struck me about the game is the attention to detail. From the finely crafted motorcycle models to the lifelike garage environment, the developers at Play2Chill S.A. have clearly gone the…
Read MoreWhat the Activision Purchase Means for eSports
There are a number of big reasons why Microsoft’s purchase of Activision made sense. But the eSports angle rarely got explored. For the vast majority, the Call of Duty of it all was just more important. And that’s without mentioning the huge boon the purchase gave Xbox in the mobile space. In fact, there’s a lot of reasons this deal was made, and eSports is probably the least of it. At least, it might seem that way on the surface.…
Read MoreCan We Stop With the Live Service Trend?
I can’t be the only person getting tired of hearing about all these live service games. Call me selfish, but I really wish it’d just stop. Trends come and go. In the past every game seemed to have a stealth section. Or a tower defence mini-game. These were annoying, but had very little impact on the industry itself. Nobody was imploding because their content pipeline wasn’t filled to the rafters. And yet live service has fundamentally changed the way many…
Read MoreMicrosoft Rewards are Being Nerfed
Over the last couple of weeks, Microsoft Rewards have been slowly being nerfed. Users are getting less points, which is making it harder to maintain the level of bonuses they were used to. The scheme, which allowed those interested to utilise Bing and Game Pass to earn Xbox money or subscription time, as well as other rewards, has been made harder to use. That has included reducing points for things like earning a daily achievement and the removal of bonuses.…
