Fake News has Become the Main Weapon of the Console Wars
Did you hear? Microsoft don’t see Sony as a competitor anymore. They don’t believe in generations. Hell, they don’t even care how many Series X consoles they sell. None of that is true, by the way, but don’t let that get in the way of a good dig at Xbox. It’s easier to pretend your most hated piece of plastic is a mess when you choose to follow carefully selected pieces of propaganda instead of, I don’t know, reading the…
The Highs and Lows of The Origami King
When Nintendo announced and showed a brief snipit of Paper Mario: The Origami King, I was cautiously optimistic that the company was returning to what made the first two titles in the series so fantastic. Then they showed the puzzle battle system. Then they announced via an interview with Game Informer that there wouldn't be any experience points. And my hopes for the game went from an 8-9/10 to a 2-3/10. Gutted would have been the correct word to use.

There is always tons of discussion around Nintendo Switch game pricing. Not the initial price, which falls in line with other major publishers, but rather the price of a game two...three...may be even four years down the line.

Grounded First Impressions
After finally firing up Grounded on my Xbox One X via Xbox Game Pass, I quickly realized I had one major complaint - that the game didn't launch at 12:01 AM Eastern, instead launching at 1:00 PM Eastern. There are few games I ever pre-load onto my Xbox console, but Grounded was one of them. Since it was announced, I've been excited and hyped for the experience. The question is - did it live up to my wild expectations?
Xbox Games Showcase Proved One Thing – Game Pass is the Best Value in Gaming
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?!
Tonor T20 Microphone Arm Review
Late in June 2020, we had the privileged of reviewing a quality budget microphone from Tonor, which we spoke very highly of. When that was sent to us, the company also included a microphone boom arm for us to look at. Although not compatible with the microphone we reviewed, it is a great arm that will work with most mics you might pick up at retail. Let's take a look!
‘What is Next-Gen Anyway?’- A Guide for Thoughrougly Frenzied Fanboys
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…
Xbox Games Showcase – Cannot Wait for Halo Infinite
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.
