Recently, I was playing a game that I really loved. I got to the end and….it said the words To Be Continued. I couldn’t believe it. I felt really let down. And I have no idea if there is going to be a sequel. That’s the worst part. Today, I want to talk about games and cliffhanger endings. Here’s the truth about video games: you just never know how well a game will sell. What if you create a video…

After playing through the Prologue of Battleborn, I was fairly excited for what the game, on a single player level, might be able to offer. As with all online centered titles, it is often hard to create an enjoyable single player experience. I often find that you are damned if you do, and damned if you don't. Gearbox fell into this trap and ends up taking a lot of heat, probably causing the developers to thing, "Was it worth it?"

Last year, I was unimpressed by Sony and Microsoft. They didn’t have much to show for their new systems and yet, many people were pleased with them, especially Sony. You would think with Nintendo showing only one game this year, that it would be an easy win for Sony and Microsoft this year. I have my doubts. I also have my hopes for them! Some people try to act like E3 isn’t a competition. They say “gamers” are the real…

All I have seen on the Internet since Battleborn launched on May 3rd was how amazing the prologue was. To the credit of everyone who said it, they were absolutely right. Through the awesome and fresh cinematic, to the choice of music, to the introduction of various game play mechanics, the beginning of Battleborn gets off to a wonderful start. For a game that relies so heavily on its multiplayer portion, the fun-to-play prologue is really pushing the idea of Battleborn being a fun game, even alone.

Prices for video games outside of the United States are slowly spinning out of control. Where I live in Canada, with a 13% Federal tax included, new release video games are hitting the 90-100 dollar mark. In the United States, games continue to be sold for 59.99.

” Hey listen…I’ve heard that the NX is…”. On the internet, anybody can say anything they want. They can tell you the truth and they can lie too. Oh boy they can lie. People especially love to make up rumors about stuff that they love or think they’ll love. They do that with things they hate too. When it comes to video games, this is pretty common. The worst part though is that fan sites will report these rumors…. Rumors…

A survey from Microsoft which popped up on Reddit today indicated that the video game and software company was toying with the idea of offering a trade-in for digital purchases. While the trade in amount would not be much – a mere 10% if the survey is to believed – it would be better than nothing if you truly don’t want to play the game anymore. On a 60.00 game, consumers would only be getting 6 dollars back. Ideally, the…

Two Tribes has developed games such as Toki Tori 1, 2, Rush, and Edge. Their upcoming game, RIVE, is a departure from their usual puzzle focused games. Last year, gamers were given an early look at the game via a special E3 demo. This game is still coming, but the developer has now announced it will be their last game ever. Read on to find out why and what I think about this announcement. After RIVE, Two Tribes is calling…

Traveler’s Tales has created a lot of Lego games for multiple consoles. The Lego game that started it all was Lego Star Wars and now Traveler’s Tales is going back to that Galaxy Far Far Away. Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens has been announced and it will be coming in June 2016!   Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be coming to multiple systems (Wii U, PS4, Xbox One, etc) on June 28th. Game Informer will feature the…

In a post on their new website, the Xbox Wire, Microsoft announced that 2015 was one of the best years for Xbox, ever. For starters, December 28th saw more Xbox Live logins in one day than ever before in the console franchises history. Below are a few exerts from the article.
