It’s been a year since Marvel’s Avengers was released to much fanfare but beaten down due to a mixed reception. Taking a number of well known superheroes and throwing them into a game that focused on level grinding and microtransactions didn’t impress many but it had its share […]
This month has been good for shooter fans wanting a taste of what’s to come soon with live tests of both Call of Duty Vanguard, Halo Infinite and Battlefield 2042 making the rounds. All games are within a month if each other with Vanguard and Halo bookending Battlefield […]
I know I had some plans in August for what I’d play this month on Xbox Game Pass but I never thought they’d work out as well as they did. At least for me I’m seeing the year closing out really well and I have a feeling I’ll […]

I was pretty late to the party when it came to using a headset for gaming. Apart from using the old Xbox chat headset on the Xbox 360 for party talk I didn’t think anything could beat a decent set of speakers. A lot of that changed though […]
Game Pass for me this month has been more focused on specific games that I knew were coming or wanted to spend more time playing from July and thanks to a regular event for one of them I’ve been able to spend much more time than I expected […]
The recent Halo Infinite development update from developer 343 Industries (see below) dropped a couple of delay bombs which has raised a lot of discussion among everyone excited for the game but personally I don’t think it’s that big a deal in the long run. Anyway, what was […]
