PlayStation State of Play – August 2020

I’ve made it no secret that I prefer the single burst of bullshot trailers and blasts of press releases over a few days that normally constitutes E3. It is easier that way. Nonetheless, the somewhat elongated E3 seems to have petered off and…

Wilmot’s Warehouse Free On Epic

Not much to say about this week’s news really. Monday, I covered the mobile guff of Twitch Prime, and the latest games added to that. Tuesday, Taylor spoke of the PS4 controller working partially for the PS5, and I moaned about Strauss Zelnick trying to justify…

Doctor Who “The Runway Bride”

Doctor, Donna. Donna, Doctor. The pairing that just brings nothing but pure and utter seething contempt for the characterization of a single figure. See, if you don’t pay attention to Catherine Tate’s role in Doctor Who, you could probably enjoy it like I…

Souls-like Mortal Shell Gets Release

I’m sure I’m not alone, but every time I see a new Souls-like getting a trailer, I get that moment of “and there goes another day of work.” Yes, I like many others love them and eat them like breakfast cereal. Mortal Shell was announced back…

Take-Two boss: $70 Game Price Not The Baseline

No matter who you are, you have an opinion on what is ruining the games industry. Whether it be misogyny, microtransaction, humans being themselves according to some on Reddit and Twitter, poor business practices, and so on, everyone has an opinion. However,…

Twitch Prime Loot – August 2020

Sometimes, I wonder when Amazon/Twitch will stop with the weekly “free games with Prime.” At least, then I can go back to making these articles where I moan about online and free-to-play games a monthly occurrence. Nonetheless, we’re one more month into…

Xbox Is Happy Game Pass Isn’t Profitable

For a while now, I’ve been a strong and vocal advocate for the Xbox Game Pass system, the Netflix of games. When I last used it, before issues within Microsoft’s system, it was about 120+ games on the Xbox One. Some of…

Superbrothers, 20XX, & Barony Free On Epic

I remember the days when I’d write four news articles a day, this week we covered four news stories; COVID-19 is hitting news hard. Monday, I spoke about the latest “loot” and game additions to Twitch Prime, while David spoke about Batman‘s sales figures. Tuesday, I…

Doctor Who Series 2 “Army of Ghosts” & “Doomsday”

Warning: The following article may contain links to videos with strong language. Readers discretion is advised. Every-single-time I come to one of these big climatic episodes, I wonder why I’m the one talking about them. I’m the one that has to make…

F1 Games Should Have Out Of Season Tracks

Formula 1, as a whole, is a bit boring. I know, that sounds odd coming from the man that reviewed F1 2019 and 2020, giving the latter near-perfect glowing praise. However, between Mercedes winning the last three races in this season alone, and taking…
