There has been a long history of specifications being an essential part of a consoles marketing campaign....

There is a distinct feeling to walking around in a city you used to live in. It is different from going to a new place for the first time and it’s different from walking around a place you live in now. There is a mix of nostalgia and surprise as you walk around the old places you used to know and the new places that have cropped up since. You may feel a tinge of sadness at the places that are no longer there and, with it, a sense of the passage of time....

The WWE 2K games have always been a mixed bag. That’s a travesty considering that the WWE has remained on the top of the pro wrestling industry for decades. Yet we’ve been saddled with ho-hum games for the past few years. Just like Daniel Bryan’s commentary in his Showcase Mode, it feels as though every game these past six years has been “one step forward, two steps back.” What else can Yuke’s and 2K do to appease long-time fans?...

The company announced on Sunday — during FOX’s NFL broadcast — that there will be a draft to shake up the rosters beginning on Oct. 11, one week after SmackDown moves to the FOX network. What’s interesting about this move is SmackDown will be the first night of the draft, with it concluding on RAW three days later on Oct. 14. There have been rumblings that WWE will treat SmackDown as the “A” show after it moves to FOX, airing in primetime every Friday night....

Spencer had this to say on Twitter. “Windows has always been an open ecosystem welcoming the contributions of hardware and software partners, and will always continue to be....

As spotted by Video Games Chronicle, Twitter user BraviaryBrendan posted the below image of a trial for an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription that came with a new controller he purchased recently from the official Microsoft Store.

Late last year, news came out that Toshihiro Nagoshi, the creator of the effortlessly charming Yakuza series, would step down from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and Sega at large. He moved to tech industry giant NetEase, which may have sparked some concerns over how this would affect his creative output.

For the past few weeks I have struggled to find a game I want to play on a regular basis. After Epic canned Paragon there was a void that needed to be filled. A game where I could dive in for a few games then call it a day.

It’s a question at the center of the series’ narrative, both because it drives Joel’s initial mission to keep Ellie safe and because it becomes the motivation for some of the series’ most heart-wrenching scenes. If you’re not immersed in all of the lore from the video games and shows though, you’re likely no closer to an answer regarding this question than when you were first introduced to the series....

Microsoft has teamed up with Nike to bring us an Air Jordan-branded Xbox One. For some reason. To be fair to Microsoft, a brand crossover isn’t exactly new. They’ve already done it a bunch of times, although it’s usually related to a specific game and not a line of shoes. They occasionally branch out into sports, such as this Madden 20-themed Xbox pack in honor of the Super Bowl. This time, Microsoft has teamed up with Nike to make an Air Jordan-branded Xbox One X....
