Sony and Microsoft Taking Different Approaches on Next Gen
Twitter could possibly be the most toxic place on the internet for most things, and video games are not immune to that either. The number of fanboys who attempt to validate their video games console preferences grows daily, and it's further proof of how pathetic people can be. Xbox fans bash Sony fans because we haven't received a ton of PS5 details. PS4 fans bash Xbox fans for, well...almost anything and everything. But the different approaches to next gen for both companies make a ton of sense, and when you assess them rationally, stupid comments about why one is and one isn't going all in with details should be put aside, because it's all pretty simple.
Tony Hawk 1 & 2 Getting Remastered – No Nintendo Switch Version
Teased by Tony Hawk earlier today, and then confirmed with a trailer around noon, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 and Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 are being remastered for a September 4th launch on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Noticeablly absent from the launch trailer was that beautiful Nintendo Switch logo. Could it come in the future?
Quarantine Gaming – Telling Lies Impressions
Telling Lies is a narrative video game developed by Sam Barlow and Furious Bee and published by Annapurna Interactive. As with Barlow’s previous title, Her Story, the game uses live action full-motion video of four people (played by Logan Marshall-Green, Alexandra Shipp, Kerry Bishé, and Angela Sarafyan) as part of video calls made between them, and the player will need to use tools provided from the game to piece together events and what statements may be lies to determine the…
Quarantine Gaming – The Complex Impressions

After a major bio-weapon attack on London, two scientists find themselves in a locked-down laboratory with time, and air, running out.

EA Live Digital Event Announced for June
EA has annouced that they will be holding a live digital event in June. We have a little bit more information about it below. EA will hold a live digital event on June 11th, 2020 at 4pm PST. They have said via twitter that the event will have “World premieres, news and more!” What will the “world premieres, news, and more” be? Your guess is as good as mine. I have no clue! I hope to see more Switch games…
Block Quest Maker Impressions
The pitch for “BlockQuest Maker” sells itself — it’s “Mario Maker” but for Zelda-like dungeons! Using “Minecraft” like graphics. The top-down dungeon explorer and creator has been on mobile for a couple of years, released on Nintendo Switch in 2019, and is now available on Xbox One. BlockQuest Maker’s mobile roots show in its console versions. From the way you choose new levels, to the way you acquire and spend the game’s currency, vote on levels and more — it…
SuperMash – Release Trailer
SuperMash will be coming to the Nintendo Switch, PS4, and Xbox One this May! Check out the release trailer for the game and then please come back for some thoughts on it. SuperMash is such a unique looking game. I love the whole idea of taking two genres, say rpg and shooter, and randomly melding them into one unique game. And you can share what you got with others via a special code! SuperMash is a different kind of game…
Quarantine Gaming – Horror Of The Deep Impressions
Fallen into a giant old dungeon, unclear for any destiny, you have to descend deeper and deeper to a place, where even all cries will be silenced.
Quarantine Gaming – Hotline Miami Collection Impressions
The world (and everyone on it) is in a really weird place right now. We can't go to the movies and catch the newest movies, TV programming has pretty much either stopped anything new or is filled with bad quality webcam video of people working from their home. Kids can't go to school or play with their friends...and video games are being delayed indefinitely. So what is a troubled gamer to do? Tackle that backlog and play some indie games, and that's exactly what I am doing.
