Starting back in February the Xbox gods began blessing us with FPS boost which allowed for nearly doubling the frame rate in some older games breathing new life into them and giving us yet another great benefit of owning a next-gen Xbox. Higher, steadier framerates make games visually smoother, resulting in more immersive gameplay. Microsoft partnered closely with developers to enhance the experience while maintaining the game’s original intent. And while not ...

In a move that may have some pretty cool benefits down the pipeline for gamers as a whole. Sony announced a new partnership with Discord, while not new to the industry as Microsoft too has a partnership this may lead to some exciting benefits for us all. Perhaps some better cross platform voice stuff, or streaming capabilities, we don’t know for sure. But it is good to see both of these titans embracing this tech that so many people already…

Personally, as a gamer, I’ve had a semi love/hate relationship with Pokémon over the years. I was an early adopter to the series having Pokémon Blue when it came out and did really enjoy the game. But we haven’t really had anything quite like that until then. Obviously, since then it has blown up to a worldwide phenomenon with people camped out for cards, buying games left and right, storming Build-A-Bear to get plushies…its been a crazy ride. ...

Having played video games for well over 30 years, some experiences stick in mind more than others. Some you can play through and put down and move on to the next thing. Some games become habit-forming and become part of a routine like Fortnite or Warzone. And then there is Returnal a game that has stuck with me so much that I literally had nightmares about it last night after playing. But I’m getting ahead of myself here. Returnal is…

Biomutant was announced quite some time ago, we are getting nearer and nearer to the release date. From the first time I saw it I was definitely intrigued by the mechanics behind the game, and the adorable…and ultra-violent creatures you could create. I often got a Rocket Racoon meets kung fu vibes from it and it’s been on my radar ever since. THQ Nordic has blessed us all with a closer look at the world of Biomutant which looks very…

Today, Microsoft announced that 13 Electronic Arts titles, all available to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members via EA Play, are receiving updates to enable FPS Boost on Xbox Series X|S with support up to 120hz. These new FPS Boost games include:

With just a few more days until Pokemon Snap officially launches for the Nintendo Switch, and I for one am very excited. The original Pokemon Snap was one of my most played games on the N64, it was just at the right time, a relaxing game with tons of replay value. Keep in mind due to system limitations the game really hasn't aged well as most games of that era didn't. But my wife (girlfriend) at the time and I spent countless hours perfecting our craft. Yes, we ...
