More Thoughts From Me #240: Journey to Vesperia
Lately, I’ve been playing a game on the Nintendo Switch called Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition. I have played Tales Of games before and thought they were alright. I decided to get Tales of Vesperia because it looked good and it was on sale! And I’m glad I got it. I’ve never been a huge fan of the Tales Of games. I played one on the Gamecube which I thought was alright. Very good graphics, okay battle system. And I…

Read MoreXbox Hinting at More Stock Ahead of Launch?
With the initial wave of Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S preorders done and out of the way, fans are wondering what is next...well at least fans who were not able to snag their preorders yesterday. While things in Europe seemed to work fairly well - outside of a few hiccups with some retailers - things in North America were terrible. Sites crashing, carts not loading, and some sites (Amazon) not even listing their preorder consoles until well after the 11:00 AM time that Xbox greenlight the process.

Raccoons are cool. If you’ve ever watched the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, you already knew that. If you need further proof, check out Donut County for the Nintendo Switch! It’ll make you like raccoons even more and “donuts” too.

There are talking animals in Donut…

About a week ago, we got our review code for Kingdom of Alamur Re-Reckoning on the Xbox One. Because of a few code delivery issues, we didn't the chance to start playing the game until after reviews for the re-release had already dropped. Based on the score sand comments I was seeing, I was incredibly nervous to boot this experience up. It was reviewing so badly.
