But is Greymoor worth your money, and worth another trip deep into the world of The Elder Scrolls? Let's find out!
KartRider Drift – Impressions
The problem that basically every kart racer runs into is that it’s just hard to beat Mario Kart. I’d argue that it’s impossible to beat Mario Kart — really, the only contenders strive to do some things just enough differently from the stalwart Nintendo franchise. The latest contender is a free-to-play entry, KartRider Drift, which allows for crossplay action across Xbox One and PC. The game stars a colorful — if generic — cast of characters that players can customize…

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.

Noticeablly absent from the launch trailer was that beautiful Nintendo Switch logo. Could it come in the future?
