To be fair to that video I think it's edited so it doesn't show everything you do in the pit.

I'm locked in for another year with the Gold trick from a few years back so it doesn't really effect me in terms of price but I love it as a service. Played a fair few games over the years that I probably wouldn't have bothered with otherwise. The Xbox first party stuff is mostly an added bonus for ...

Well it's long been expected and it finally happened, Game Pass is getting a bunch of price rises. Game Pass for Console is going away and will become Game Pass Standard, it will cost $14.99 and give you access to Xbox Live and Xbox's back catalogue but not first party day-one releases. Those alread...

It kind of felt inevitable with Piranha Bytes for a while. The studio was limping along before Embracer bought them and Elex 2 bombed pretty badly. Whether they were in the embrace of Embracer or not I don't think they could ever afford one game to tank so would have probably closed regardless. Stil...

I watched that Gameranx video yeterday. Anyone putting Skull & Bones and Suicide Squad on a "most disappointing" list clearly paid no attention to the games pre-launch.

July's video

Anyone been following the Dr Disrespect stuff over the past few days? It's wild how quickly it went from a tweet that didn't name him directly, to him denying it, to him admitting that actually yes, he did do it, but as it wasn't technically illegal guys it means it was fine, to now being dropped b...

I feel like I'm the only person in the world not playing Elden Ring or Erdtree

Don't worry mate, I'm not either, didn't really get on with Elden Ring.

I think a lot of Nintendo design is inextricably linked with the console the games appear on, moving to multiplatform would mean losing some of that. I've never really cared about graphics so it doesn't matter to me how old the hardware is if Nintendo keep putting out good games. On the price of gam...

Prime 4 finally makes a reappearance.




I thought it was a really good Direct, a new Mario & Luigi game and Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom looked very promising.

I trust Massive more than any of the other Ubisoft studios but I agree with what most people have said, it just looks uninspiring and a bit dull which considering the source material and the fact you are playing a Han Solo style character is pretty astounding.

I think it looked pretty bad, just a bog standard third person action game with average to bad looking combat. Reminds me of Mass Effect 2 in many ways, that transitioned fully to third person action after the more RPG nature of the first game but the combat was sub-standard for the time and the sam...

I thought Indy looked really good, better than the showing earlier this year, same goes for Avowed. Perfect Dark looked impressive as well.

I thought they were turning it into a multiplayer hero shooter from that reveal. Consdiering the rumours that it started life as a multiplayer/service game of some description I am expecting it to be a bit of a mess considering how games such as Redfall and Suicide Squad have turned out after simila...

For anyone interested I have put together a video of the six best indiegames that were shown off during Summer Game Fest yesterday.
