I've been a huge supporter of Performance Design Products for a long time now, and they have always been great supporters of the website. In general, I do really enjoy the products the company puts out, but I've also had my issues with them. Most notably, I've never been overly impressed with the headsets the company has released. While they have been adequate and good for the price point, they've never been my go-to for long gaming periods, and rarely stick to the games shelf - they are often just relegated to the basement shelf. That's changed with the ...

Today we’re putting aside the irreverent gaming commentary to bring you the most important fact from yesterday’s Xbox conference. Despite the apparent surprise from huge swathes of the gaming community, Starfield is indeed a Bethesda game. I can sympathize. Really I can. You follow a game for years and years, straight from its announcement at the Bethesda conference. You expect a brand new Bethesda RPG in space. Then the day comes: gameplay for the first time. But alas, it’s an…

I watched the Xbox/Bethesda showcase today and I thought…well…it was okay. It started out well and it ended well, but the middle was a bit of mess. Diablo IV looked great but there were a lot of smaller games too that looked just alright. It wasn’t Xbox’s best showing. That said, Starfield completely knocked my socks off. What an amazing looking game. Let’s talk about it! Starfield has been teased for awhile. Its from the creators of Elder Scrolls and…

It’s been some 15 years since I first started covering E3 and it’s been almost like a religious holiday to me ever since. It’s Christmas without the drunken uncle and his racist rants. It was pretty obvious that it was on its last legs these past few years. What can the organisers possibly offer today that publishers can’t just do themselves online? “Come be part of our big named event – bring money”. As a business, it was going the…

Microsoft and Xbox have released a new controller option over at the design lab to celebrate pride month 2022. While similar to the one they did last year this one offers a bit more detail allowing you to customize this design that brings together 34 different community flags into one design. It will be available for purchase via the Xbox Design Lab starting June 9 and will be available year-round.   In addition to that they are also doing the…

Dead teenagers, a talking teddy bear, endless mysteries – it’s no wonder Danganronpa became a massive thing when it was first released ten years ago. Now the Trigger Happy Havoc anniversary edition brings that classic visual novel to a new audience. And it remains just as fun. You wake up in an abandoned school with a group of strangers. The only way to escape is to not only kill someone, but to get away with it. The group promises not…

The first look at Sonic Frontiers has proven to be quietly popular with fans – it is a Sonic game after all. Panic comes later. The disappointment traditionally comes with every subsequent trailer. And then even with release. It is a Sonic tradition. Personally, I hope this one bucks the trend, but we’ll have to wait and see. I feel slightly more expert than most on this topic. Long-time readers (Hi Mom) will know my wife and I are in…

A new teaser for Sonic Frontiers was released today! Take a look at it and then come back here for some thoughts on the game. Wow. Sonic Frontiers looks amazing! It looks like Sonic meets Breath of the Wild meets Ratchet and Clank. Amazing. Hopefully the game plays really well. It could be the best Sonic game yet! According to the official Sonic twitter, this is just the first tease. IGN will have teases all June long for the game!…

This morning, rumors began to swirl around the brand new Fable game being developed by Playground Games. The rumor is that because of an inability to work with the current engine, the development team has had to scale back the quality of the game. Rumors are just that, rumors. But it does highlight one major problem with the video game industry - the announcement of games too early.

There are a handful of games I am looking forward to in 2022, but number one on my list might shock a few people. Seeing as I hold Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle in my top 5 Switch games of all of time, you would expect that, should it launch this year, Spark of Hope will be my number one! Nope, it's actually a simulation game called Two Point Campus, and it's something I cannot wait for!
