The Elements of Gadgets and Gaming
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is probably one of my favourite games of all time. Not only does it have a rich universe, it still holds up as one of the best looking titles of this generation. So when rumours started swirling of a Switch port earlier this year, I was skeptical. Sure, other current…
What appears to be a Nintendo Switch running some sort of test software has turned up online. Reddit user boondar143 claims to have purchased the console online from Best Buy on Cyber Monday. When he went to set it up for his family, he discovered the device loaded to an odd looking menu screen. On…
Sonic The Hedgehog 2 is widely considered to be one of the best games of the 16-bit era. It was also the first console game I ever owned. It holds many special memories for me, and I still take time out every Christmas to play through it. Taking the nostalgia glasses off though, does it…
Christmas is a time for giving, for spending time with family, and curling up next to a roaring fire with a game and the soft glow of the TV. Many of us began our gaming careers at this time of year. Waking up early to tear open into that glorious piece of electronic power that…
The Rise of Skywalker, the “final” (for real this time) chapter in the Star Wars saga, just came out. I haven’t seen it yet, but from what I’ve heard, it’s hilariously bad. Pretty much all the leaks reported on by Doomcock (hail) proved to be true. It’s a dumpster fire of a movie that has…
2019 was not a exactly a particularly notable year in gaming. As the current console generation winds down, so are major releases. To be honest, there really wasn’t a lot of really outstanding titles to choose from. We got a lot of remakes and remasters this year, but it seems most publishers are saving their…
Microsoft has pulled the covers off its upcoming 9th generation Xbox console, as well as confirmed some of the specs for the system. Dubbed the Xbox Series X, it will feature AMD’s new “Zen 2” CPU with “RDNA” graphics, GDDR6 memory, and fast solid state storage. The company is promising that the console will be…
Sometimes I like to sit back and revisit old games from previous console generations, just to see whether or not they still hold up. Some do, others give you a new appreciation for how far gaming has evolved over the years. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed falls into the latter camp. EA’s newest Star Wars…
Twas the month before Christmas, and all through MMNTech, disappointing games, made me want to go blech. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas, would’t put any of these there. The “had to wear Aunt Clara’s bunny pajamas” award goes to… Pokemon Sword & Shield (Game Freak/Nintendo) How…
It seems like it’s finally the end of the road for the rotting corpse of the Gakwer media empire. The company’s new owners, G/O Media, are laying down the law, and it’s not going over well with the “journalists” working there. Many are now threatening to walk out or quit their jobs entirely if they’re…
