As a quick reminder: Microsoft plans to spend $190 billion on AI in 2026. In 2025, the company spent $80 billion...

    Konami's Biggest Game Franchises


    In a time long ago, Konami used to make some rather amazing video games. The Japan-based studio was founded back in 1969 as a jukebox rental and repair business. The company slowly entered into the creation and distribution of video games in the late 70s. A lot of Konami's earliest releases were done through arcades, but once home gaming consoles started to arrive, they made the jump in force.

    Konami started out with a bang on systems such as the MSX, PC, NES, and more. They...

    Halo Infinite Season 2 is Another Six Month Slog

    Whatever momentum this game had is long gone.

    Halo Infinite developer 343 Industries just shared their roadmap of planned updates for 2022, and things aren't looking too hot. Halo Infinite Season 2 will go on for a very long six months. Just a year ago, 343 said that each season should last "roughly every three months."

    The second season running for a planned six months is double that initial estimate. Furthermore, the first season for Halo Infinite will have...

    Full Cross-Play Finally Coming to Borderlands 3

    Sony is finally allowing it to happen.

    Last year, Gearbox revealed that full cross-play functionality for Borderlands 3 was ready to go. However, the studio had to pull the feature from PlayStation consoles because Sony, at the time, was very much against cross-play with other platforms.

    Thankfully, Sony has learned how to take a chill pill and are allowing full cross-play for titles, including Borderlands 3. At PAX East, Gearbox announced that cross-play will arrive this...

  • How Many Games Did You Complete in 2025?

    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...
