This Sunday, there will be an Xbox Showcase and after that, a Starfield Direct. I’m really excited about it all. Let’s talk about what could maybe possibly see during the Xbox Showcase and why I’m so excited for Starfield! The Xbox Showcase/Starfield Direct will air this Sunday at 12pm central. It’ll be about two hours of various games and Starfield! I’m most excited about the Starfield Direct, but let’s talk about the Xbox Showcase first. The Showcase will air first…

A couple of people have spoken to me about a tragic new trend amongst blockchain fans – the odious idea of “play-to-earn”. No longer will playing a video game be frivolous – your time will be rewarded with actual currency. If you’ve got to the second paragraph without feeling your stomach churn in disgust, you may well be part of the problem. The idea that playing for the love of the craft isn’t enough, but that digital busy work or…

There may not be many surprises here, but it perhaps confirms what we all suspected. A new article from Jason Schreier has spilled the beans behind Redfall’s miserable development, and its critically poor reception. This isn’t an article revisiting what is already at Bloomberg. In short: Redfall was planned as a GaaS title, but direction was extremely muddled. Morale was low. Microsoft did nothing to fix the project. The most damning part, in my eyes, is that staff at Arcane…

Today, Disney Dreamlight Valley revealed its second 2023 Content Roadmap! You can check that out below along with our thoughts on what was revealed. In June, The Remembering update will reveal more of Disney Dreamlight Valley’s story and it looks like introduce Cinderella’s fairy godmother to the game. There might be another character too because along with the fairy godmother a mysterious treehouse was shown too. And then this summer another update will introduce Vanellope von Schweetz to the game.…

Metal Gear Solid 3 is one of the greatest games ever made. But it’s also nearly twenty years old. Things have changed a lot since 2004. That means the recently announced Metal Gear Solid Δ Snake Eater – the actual real name of the remake – has a few easy targets they can hit to make massive improvements without doing anything controversial. Here I’m going to be talking a little bit about options the developers have for making a Metal…

I was a huge fan of Metal Gear Solid on the PlayStation 2. The second game was my favorite but I did like Snake Eater a lot. So yesterday when a remake was revealed, I was excited but also a little unhappy because I don’t have a PlayStation 5. Then I looked online and it was revealed that the game is also coming to Xbox! I have one of those. I’m very excited for the Snake Eater remake. Let’s talk…

Yes, a Metal Gear Solid 3 remake is in the works. And yes, it will be without Hideo Kojima. Should we be worried? I mean, it’s one of the greatest games of all time, filled with iconic moment after iconic moment. Any shift in tone would stick out like a cheese sandwich in a gourmet restaurant. And this is the internet. So there is always room for worry. However, a tidy bit of good news has potentially come out this…

The Activision-Microsoft merger has been accepted in the EU, and that means we’re in uncharted territory. It’ll be the first of many to approve the purchase – and nobody knows for certain what that means at this stage. The CMA – the UK’s market authority – recently blocked the deal. And there’s very little way to circumnavigate that. You can appeal, but that most likely means that it’ll just come back around to the CMA again. Who, presumably, will have…

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom comes out today, and I think it’s safe to say that it’s already probably going to be Game of the Year. I’m not basing that off any special knowledge. I’ve barely played the first, let alone the sequel. But sometimes a game causes such a stir, creates such a hype, that there’s no way it’s going any other direction. Last year it was Elden Ring. Nothing else was going to replace that…
