It was surprising just how many years players had to wait for Borderlands 3 to arrive. Considering the popularity of past games and how well developer Gearbox has supported them but it finally arrived in 2019 followed a year later by an Series X/S enhanced update. With that […]
Being inspired by a parody Twitter account (see Wikipedia) is not the usual way games get made but with Donut County by Ben Esposito that’s exactly what happened. And it’s impressive that it all works too! The story revolves around the town of Donut County which is being […]
After Microsoft’s VERY brief dalliance with increasing the price of Xbox Live Gold (!) during the last couple of days (which they quickly backed down from), there was also a surprise with the announcment of five games (instead of the usual four) coming to February’s Games with Gold. […]
