The best part of Curious Expedition is its concept: You choose a famous historical explorer and set off on a journey to a remote location, searching for treasure and the location of a golden pyramid. You’re in a race against other intrepid explorers to become the most famous finder of rare antiquities in the world.

I am now the proud owner of an Xbox One X and a satisfied subscriber of Gamepass Ultimate.    So, what is it like jumping into the Xbox ecosystem from the outside, in 2020, at the tail end of the current generation? Pretty good, so far.   First, a brief look at my gaming history:   Born in 1985, I remember well opening up the NES for Christmas in 1990. Through the years, I’ve had at least one console each…

Finding value from video games can be a challenge. This is especially true if you are seeking enjoyment and value at the same time. With game prices typically ranging from $20 to $60 for Standard editions, sure, you can find some occasional value. Especially when there is a rare Special or Deluxe edition in that price range. These are usually more in the $80 to $120 range on a regular basis. That’s where value tends to be more subjective and falls into the hands of what each individual wants.

When I was younger, I actually remember my father of all people, enjoying DBZ. I would often see him watching them on Cartoon Network, to be honest I was intrigued but never quite a fan. Many folks have told me it’s better to not watch them on TV, etc etc. But that was the exposure I had, I did like the action and story, however it was painfully slow and dragged out in twenty minute bursts of people yelling AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…

Cuphead arrived on the Nintendo Switch this year. Not only that but DLC was announced for the game too. Today, a teaser was revealed for the dlc and a delay! Cuphead “The Delicious Last Course” DLC will arrive on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Windows 10, and STEAM in 2020. We have no specific release date yet. On twitter, Studio MDHR (the developer) said that “We’ll be taking a page out of Chef Saltbaker’s book and spending time to get this…

During E3, most of my attention was on Animal Crossing. Would Nintendo show the new game? Once they did, I couldn’t stop thinking about New Horizons. That said, I did notice that there were other good looking games at E3 too. On Nintendo Indie day, several games jumped out at me. The game I liked the most that day was New Super Lucky’s Tale. And now I want to tell you why I can’t wait to play this game! Super…

Microsoft hyped up an E3 2019 beyond our imagination. They promised surprises, bringing someone new, lots of games, and more. Shigeru Miyamoto was even rumored to appear at the Xbox Briefing. So how did the conference turn out? Well…lets talk about it… What was that Microsoft? Xbox E3 Briefing 2019 was full of games, sure, but nothing too stunning. We knew about most of the games and the ones we didn’t know about were mostly indies. Microsoft, to their credit,…

I don’t want these predications to come true. I currently do not have an Xbox system. I still like Microsoft though and I want to see them do great. And I want to feel bad about not having an Xbox One or to really want that next system if its revealed. That said, I am always wrong with my predications about Microsoft related stuff. So, instead of predicating a great E3 2019 for Xbox…here is what could go wrong for…

What is going on with Microsoft and Nintendo? First, we got Minecraft, then we crossplay with Xbox One, and now Cuphead is coming to the Nintendo Switch! Microsoft and Nintendo have a really unique relationship right now and one of things that is rumored for a future addition to that relationship is Xbox Game Pass on the Switch. Could such a thing happen?! I don’t know. I usually don’t even comment on rumors but I really want this one to…

It has been quite the journey for Crackdown 3, which was first announced in 2014 but was continually delayed. Now the game is going to see the light of day and we had a chance to play the games campaign early. Is it as good as we all hoped? For better or for worse, it is simply more Crackdown. Let’s dive in!
