Sony’s purchase of Bungie and Haven Studios is now complete, but a larger beast looms on the horizon. See the ripples in the water? The Microsoft/Activision merger could be finished within months. This is where we are now. One surprising purchase closes, another one rears its head. Bungie – the people who created Halo – are now owned by PlayStation. And although we don’t quite know how that relationship is going to look, we know that Bungie is retaining a…

It’s easy to write up my first impressions of Overwatch 2. They’re pretty much exactly the same as my last impressions of Overwatch 1. I know that’s not the most original take on the internet, but unfortunately it is an inescapable one. I loaded up the game, picked a couple of familiar characters, played for a little bit and it could’ve been an update for the old game. And don’t get me wrong: it would’ve been a hell of an…

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise has been having a great year. Shredder’s Revenge came out and has sold over a million copies so far and the Cowabunga Collection is on the way. Recently we got another tease of the collection and I want to talk about it. Check out the video below and then my thoughts! Wow. The TMNT Cowabunga Collection looks amazing. First of all, look at the main menu. The black and white comic art around the…

I remember seeing the preview for Lost in Random when it was first announced. I thought it looked neat. Of course, I didn’t have an Xbox system then, so I quickly forgot about it. Fast forward to now. I have an Xbox Series S and gamepass. And there’s Lost in Random. It looks neat. It’s a game by Zoink! They are a developer I like a lot. So of course I’m going to roll the dice and play Lost in…

Red Dead Redemption 2 was a modern day classic. It is one of the best games of the last generation, and one of the best selling too. It sold more than twice the copies of God of War. So why the hell has its post-game support been so lousy? The final nail in the coffin came this week when Rockstar revealed it has pulled devs from Red Dead Online to work on Grand Theft Auto 6. There will be no…

It’s likely you’ve heard of Cuphead. The game is very popular and has an animated series on Netflix too! If you’ve never played the game, then you’ve come to the right place. Check out our review of Cuphead + The Delicious Last Course DLC for the Xbox Series S! I kept hearing about Cuphead and seeing previews of it. The game looked great, but I hesitated. I heard that the game was very difficult. I’m usually not into difficult games,…

Psychonauts was a classic on the original Xbox. Absolutely loved that game. And so when I got gamepass, Psychonauts 2 was one of the first games I had to play. Hello again Psychonauts! Its been a long time since Psychonauts on the Xbox. I loved that game but for the longest time, never thought there would be another Psyhonauts game. And then the second one was awesome. My excitement level was high. Now that I’m playing the game I can…

Recently I got an Xbox Series S and gamepass. I’ve been playing a lot of games on the service. One of the games that I found on the service is Lost Words: Beyond the Page. Let me tell you about it. One of the most unique games I’ve found on gamepass recently is Lost Words: Beyond the Page. The game is adventure/platformer/puzzle game with two unique story segments. The first is where you control a small wolf on in a…

Next Tuesday, an indie called Garden Story will arrive on gamepass. Check out the reveal trailer below and stick around for some thoughts on the game. I’ve heard of Garden Story before but I’ve never played it. It looks like my sort of game though: fishing, gardening, talking to villagers, and fighting. Its a bit Stardew Valley/Rune Factory like. The graphics are ultra-cute too. I’m looking forward to checking it out. I love how so many indie come to gamepass.…

Recently I got an Xbox Series S and Gamepass. I’ve been playing a lot of different games. One of the games I’ve wanted to play for awhile now is Sea of Thieves. I always thought the game looked neat! And now I’ve played the game a little bit and here are my first thoughts on it. Sea of Thieves has been out for awhile now. I heard about the game and I knew it had a bit of a mixed…
