I’m Playing the Original Fallout (And It Hurts)
When the original Fallout came out in 1997, I was not even close to being able to play it. And multiple attempts in the years since have proven fruitless. Why? Various reasons. When I was a teenager, I guess it was down to the fact that it was just too damn dense to hold my attention. Things aren’t obvious, and that isn’t a good thing. Even today, hours into the experience, I’m still noticing buttons and finding new ways of…

Remasters We Really Need
I’ve written a lot about remakes and remasters lately, but by and large they have been for games that are already easily available. Where’s access to the titles we really need? Like, sure, it’s fantastic I can play Grand Theft Auto 3 on my Xbox Series X. But Liberty City Stories is forever trapped on PSP (or PS2 if you want the inferior version). Same goes for Vice City Stories. There are two entries in one of the most major…

Final Fantasy IX Remake Could Be Good
Final Fantasy IX was a timeless celebration of everything the franchise had been up to that point. It celebrated the best of the SNES classics, while improving on what we had loved about VII and VIII. With X, a new era began, and things have never quite been the same. And that’s why fans are rightfully worried about the upcoming Final Fantasy IX remake. It hasn’t been officially announced yet. But it was on the Geforce leak and insiders have…

Final Fantasy on Xbox? I’ll Believe It When I See It
Final Fantasy XIV is coming to Xbox – and all it took was a decade. I don’t believe in looking a gift horse in the mouth. This is amazing news.

As part of the announcement, it was said this was the beginning of a bigger presence from the publisher on Xbox, and in particular Final Fantasy was mentioned. This comes after years of confusion around…

Goodbye Xbox Live Gold?
It could be the end of an era – Xbox Live Gold could become a new tier of Game Pass called “Core”. And while you’ll still need it for online multiplayer, the monthly game selection will be replaced with a library of 25 games. Although it may be that the catalogue continues to grow. And obviously this rumour, coming via Xbox Info Cafe, wouldn’t be the biggest Xbox news of the week even if it’s true. After Sony accepted a…

Microsoft/Activision Merger Takes Giant Leap Forward
After a hasty court case, the Microsoft/Activision merger has taken a giant leap towards being closed. The FTC wanted the merger to be halted, but today Judge Jacqueline Corley allowed the deal to go ahead. The FTC, she said, had failed to show that competition would be lowered because of the merger. In fact, the opposite is true. She said: “This Court’s responsibility in this case is narrow. It is to decide if, notwithstanding these current circumstances, the merger should…

Nearly 90% of Old Games are Unavailable
A new study from the Video Game History Foundation has revealed that nearly 90 percent of games made before 2010 are “out of print”. Only 13 percent of games from before 2010 are still available to purchase today, with that number dropping to a pitiful three percent when looking before 1985. This isn’t good enough. Doesn’t it just perfectly frame the constant battles with the likes of Nintendo over old games? The community protects and preserves thousands of titles that…
