Imagine if Microsoft took a 30% cut on sales through the Xbox’s store.

Apple and Google’s house cut is a bit much and should be lowered.

This list needs more Gojira.

Save $200 and buy this guy instead.

I’ve yet to try to finagle a way to play PS4 on the can, and despite having a good gaming laptop there isn’t an outlet close enough to the crapper for me to have a go with that.

Pre-pandemic matinee tickets are like $6 around here, so my wife was already not thrilled with the $20 prices Universal and what not were charging. But at least most of those actually let you keep it in your digital library, and it cost around the same price as a Blu-ray, so we bought a few anyway that we might not…

PC Game Pass!  I signed up when it was a buck so I could play The Outer Worlds, then promptly forgot about it after I finished the game.  I knew there was a reason I never canceled it...

Nope. 20 years ago, maybe.  But I’m 40 now, I have a kid and responsibilities.  I have the disposable income to buy more games than I could afford as a kid, and less free time to play them.  I don’t do multiplayer, I don’t play competitively.  I play to unwind and enjoy the story/world/characters/etc.  Generally…

What? A game from an American publisher founded by (probably white) Americans, directed by (definitely white) Americans, and written by no one with a remotely Asian name doesn’t have a system for making good haiku?  I’m shocked, I tell you, shocked!

I’m in for both SMTs, but I hope one of the things that gets remastered in 3 is the difficulty. I know Nocturne was actually harder than the original release in Japan, but that game was brutal. I had to use a Gameshark in the final boss, and the fight went on for two hours because it kept healing at a rate close to…

You have to ask yourself what you really want. Are you just looking to save some money because you already have a laptop, and you figure adding an eGPU will give you access to PC gaming? As the author points out this is still more expensive than buying a new console. Buying hardware for PC gaming just isn’t cheap; if…

@MechXican, was that shot on a PS4 Pro?  I’ve had my PS4 since launch and couldn’t justify upgrading to the Pro since since I’m more of a PC guy, but the foxes I’ve found definitely don’t look that good.

I’ve been doing something similar.  I got a new PC for my birthday before things actually locked down, but then I decided to get a new 4K monitor to go with it.  After that my PC was so much better than my laptop that I decided to buy a Zephyrus G14 with an RTX 2060M when I got my stimulus check.  But if I was going…

I’d heard something like that, but it wasn't clear if that meant Project Xcloud, releases like Assassin's Creed Valhalla that are releasing on both current-gen and next-gen, or if all games can actually run in both consoles. I suspect a mix of the first two, but even if it's the third it's all the more reason to…

It’s debatable just how “natural” this step is. Ending production on consoles is a normal part of the console cycle, but this feels extremely early. For starters, the Xbox Series X isn’t even out yet. Even stranger is the decision to stop producing the more-powerful Xbox One X while leaving the low-end Xbox One S on…

I’ll look into that one.  And, I guess, the sequel.

Right? For me taking over outposts undetected is more fun in the Far Cry games than the story missions. I spent the early party of the lockdown replaying FC3, 4, 5, Blood Dragon and Primal before I finally got around to picking up and playing New Dawn.

I know it’s getting trendy to hate on it, but few games give my brain the same dopamine hit as the Ubisoft open world check-out-all-the-map-icon games that Far Cry and especially Assassin’s Creed have become. I played through Origins and Odyssey both twice. I gather that some people are a bit disappointed to see that…

I think the accessory that’s made the biggest difference is my LG-27UK850-W monitor that replaced my old Samsung. The Samsung was a 27" 60Hz, 1080p TN panel, the LG is a 27" 60Hz 4K IPS. Now sure, the extra pixels and much more accurate colors are nice and all, but the real reason I picked it? HDR. I finally got…
