The mechanics also were so simple that virtually anyone could pick it up and play. Flash…

I’m a sucker for the old school FMV games. Playing them on my PC in the mid-late 90s and occasionally we get some on consoles now. The latest of which being Mia and the Dragon Princess, which don’t let the name fool you, the game is full of greatly coordinated fights, explosions, and action. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Mia dreams of adventure, but her feeling of responsibility to her workmates – who have become her surrogate family –…

Over the past half week or so, I’ve been taking a deep dive into Disney Speedstorm, the soon-to-be free-to-play Disney kart racing game from Gameloft. Right now, as an early access title, the only way to get into the experience is to purchase one of the three founders bundles. Gameloft hooked me up with a copy of the game last week, and after almost a dozen hours across 7 tracks, I think it’s fair to say we might have a…

Yesterday Rare announced that season nine of Sea of Thieves is available for free with Gamepass across Xbox Series consoles, Xbox One and Windows. It still surprises me the amount of love Rare has put into this game over the years. It’s never been one to resonate with me personally that much, but the fan base is there and they keep the content coming as well. Season 9 introduces Chests of Fortune, valuable chests that can only be found within…

In the last few weeks, we’ve seen a very quick raft of releases of old games for new consoles, and not a single one has released without some issue, big or small. Just think about that for a second. Goldeneye, Tales of Symphonia. Hell, even the Blade Runner release from last year is still being fixed (which is admirable, but plays into my point here). There is clearly a demand for old games. There are entire communities of retro fans…
