Sony’s Activision Reaction is Eye Opening
Sony has reacted to the Activision purchase to regulators, and it is an eye opening glimpse behind the curtain. Without all the bluster and PR of companies on the public stage, we see what Sony thinks are the biggest threats of Microsoft buying Activision.

Multiversus – Open Beta Reaction
If there was any company that could do a Super Smash Bros clone, it would be Warner Brothers. They have the variety and the history to pull it off.

The game could be the best thing ever and if the monetization is wrong, then you’ll walk away from the experience feeling bitter. Unfortunately here, there are…

Overwatch 2 – First Impressions
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 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…

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…

Sonic Frontiers: Getting Up to Speed
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.
