    September 2022 Games with Gold Titles Revealed

    Ho boy...

    Those of you with Xbox Live Gold are getting another mix of games for September 2022 that they can "freely" add to their game collections. Microsoft says that these games are typically valued at $66.96 (USD), but let's just say that value is rather subjective when it comes to the past several months of Games with Gold titles.

    These titles will start to be offered starting on September 1. They include Gods Will Fall, Double Kick Heroes, Thrillville,...

    Destroy All Humans! 2 - Reprobed is Out Now

    Remade from the UFO up.

    Today sees the release of Destroy All Humans! 2 - Reprobed. This is said to be "a completely remade" release of the classic action game where you are a disgruntled alien wreaking havoc on humans. While this is said to be a "remake" I think this is more akin to a remaster given that it plays identical to the original release, bugs and all. At this point, publishers and developers calling things remakes, remasters, or re-whatevers are so muddied...

An official announcement of the game, learned to be a prequel, was not made at the time.

    That Terrible Netflix Resident Evil Series is Already Canceled

    This probably doesn't come as much of a surprise.

    After just one season, the Resident Evil Netflix series has been canceled. The first, and only, eight episodes made their initial debut on July 14. This report came first from Deadline.

    The Resident Evil series did debut in the top 3 rankings on Netflix, but quickly fell off the charts after its third week. The series was panned by critics and fans of the Resident Evil franchise alike. It earned a pitiful 55% critical consensus...

  • How Many Games Did You Complete in 2025?
    by Shawn Zipay
    Make up your own definition of "complete."

    Was 2025 a big year for game completions for you, or were you more of a "stick to one never-ending, live-service game for the entire year" sort of player?

    For this, you can take whatever definition you want as a game "completion." Beat the main story? Earned 100% of the game's achievements? Or simply played enough that you're satisfied with what you accomplished and have no plans to return any time...
