I fundamentally believe that when making purchasing decisions, we must make them with as much factual data at hand. I won’t sit here and claim that I alone know all the facts. That’s just simply not true. But as […]

Looks like Fortnite is back in the news again, but not in a good way. Ever since the PS4 account lock for Fortnite became public knowledge, Sony has been under justifiable pressure from gamers and media alike to […]

In a predictable turn of events every time a highly anticipated game comes along, we inevitably see the majority of consumers ravenously excited about said game. Rarely do you see those with the power to influence […]

Last week, I had written a summary of Nvidia’s Turing RTX line-up of graphics cards, including their specs, launch dates, and prices. For a high level overview of that, check out the article here. Now that w […]

Let’s cut straight to the chase. Today, Nvidia unveiled three new cards in the their next generation GPU lineup, built on the Turing architecture. These cards are the RTX (not GTX) 2070, 2080, and yes, the 2080 T […]

I’m not going to fart around on this one. Let’s dive straight into it. Yeah, the 2080 is what people are talking about, but I’m waiting for the inevitable Ti variant. And, if these (surprisingly detailed) leaks […]

The big news to hit the industry this week is one involving plagiarism. In case you somehow missed it, former IGN writer Filip Miucin was accused of plagiarizing his (now taken down) Dead Cells review from […]

When No Man’s Sky first released, I was legitimately excited. An infinite universe for me explore sounded like absolute heaven. I’ve loved anything and everything space ever since I was a kid. And so a game tha […]

Blizzard recently introduced the Endorsements system into their glorious hero-shooter, Overwatch. The aim is simple — reduce toxicity by rewarding and promoting positivity. Basically, don’t be a dick. Be nice a […]

Of all the Wii U games to be ported onto Nintendo Switch, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker was the one I lusted after most. I never played it on the Wii U when it released in 2014, and I so desperately wanted a port […]
I also love my switch. It’s in my top 4 favorite consoles. SNES, PS1 and PS2, and of course the Switch.

I know people who won’t bother reading past the title will say, “Yeah but Morrowind was better.“ And that’s great. No, really. I say that without a hint of sarcasm. You want to love Morrowind? Go right on ahead. […]
This was a great article. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Oblivion was/is an amazing game. I actually like it far more than Skyrim. Some of the quests in game are very fun and well written.I first played this on my computer a long time ago and it was the first open world RPG I ever played. I remember being sucked into that game, oh the things you can do! And the story was interesting (I didn’t finish the entire main story until I got it for the Xbox 360 since the console commands were too much fun) I remember waking up to play that game then freaking out because suddenly it’s five and my parents were getting home. How was I going to explain that I spent the entire day playing a video game? Anyway, Oblivion is my favorite Elder Scrolls game because it’s the first one I ever played so it has a special place in my heart.

LIMBO first released way back in 2010 on the Xbox 360. I remember playing that game and being instantly raptured by…well…everything. I loved the incredibly minimalist art style, the foreboding music, the […]

Developed by Vicarious Visions, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy released last year for PS4, and I happened to pick it up on that console. However, just this past Friday June 29, the marsupial from my childhood hit […]

It’s no surprise that I’m very much looking forward to Cyberpunk 2077, the latest game from Polish studio CD PROJEKT RED, developers behind the masterful WItcher games. Ever since we were first teased of the gam […]

Don’t worry dude. Brian is my friend. He’s completely trolling, and I love reading his comments on my articles every week.

Note how the title says “think more critically,” and not “think only critically.” I often receive false assumptions on my work because people misinterpret my actual intent. In this case, people wrongfully assume […]
I literally can’t tell if your comment is serious or not, a prospect that’s troublesome at best. There are so many fallacies in your post I’m surprised someone claiming to be as intelligent as you seem to think you are can’t see them. Exclusive titles don’t equate to “winning” the console war – that’s honestly a false equivalency. Who sells the most games, the most subscriptions and the most consoles – that’s who is “winning”. You also have absolutely no idea how a PC seems to work when it comes to gaming. Honestly, if you’re using the Xbox Gaming App to play games on a PC this just illustrates my point.
You also seem to be really confused about who makes the Nintendo Switch. You do realize Nintendo is it’s own company, right? Not owned by Microsoft? And if I log in to Fortnite on my XBox I can stil play on my Switch. If I log in on my iPhone, Android, or PC – I can still play on my Switch. It’s JUST Sony that locks your account down. An account you’ve likely dropped real money in to; Sony is holding people’s assets ransom and they could care less.
You seem to use the word ‘Fact’ a lot and then literally provide no data to back up your ‘facts’. I’m not even going to address your last paragraph. I hope you seek professional help, I honestly believe you need it.
Don’t worry dude. Brian is my friend. He’s completely trolling, and I love reading his comments on my articles every week.

” it’s crucial to understand that we are talking about two different types of memory, therefore one-to-one comparisons cannot nor should not be made”
Um, no. Gbps doesn’t depend on what type of memory is used. It is literally how many Gigabits of data can be transferred in a second.
