Microsoft’s been on a tear lately, acquiring studios and building up an army of teams whose sole job it is to develop games for the Xbox brand. Today’s acquisition though? It might just be the biggest one yet for Team Green, as Bethesda will now be flying the Xbox flag as ZeniMax Media, parent company of Bethesda Softworks, is now part of that gaming family.

Here we go again, talking about another roguelike game. Honestly, we’re at a point of saturation in the genre that when Hades slid across my desk I was exhausted. Not feeling the passion or energy to actually invest time in the game, I set aside a few hours a day, ready to play it for a week just for this …

Meanwhile I’ll be wondering if I can afford RGB lighting for my boner-coaster, or if I can upgrade to a model that can be used to show movies on my wall with a built-in projector.

The PlayStation 5 is coming, and hoo boy it’s a lot of console. In both a philosophical and a physical sense.

There are still those who are willing to get up at the crack of dusk and boot up their console to find him for you. People who’ll risk digital life and limb to let you know if Xur is selling a treasure or rubbish. I just so happen to be one of those people. Maybe you’re stuck at work and can only log in later tonight. In that case: Where is Xur?

Which is basically saying, “Yeah, I guess Game Pass is cool but we’re just not vibing with it, you know?”

After a delay or two pushed the game back to a vague Q4 2020 release window, we now know exactly when John Romero’s latest project will hit our machines. Probably with a sock filled with coins.

If you were thinking that Final Fantasy 16 was going to be hitting PC the same time as PS5 though, then prepared to have a lvl. 99 Modern Gaming spell cast at your face because that’s not happening…yet.
