    Gearbox Partners with G2A One Day, Threatens to Kill Partnership the Next

    Yesterday, Gearbox announced a super controversial partnership with G2A, a "grey market" retailer of PC game keys. The partnership had G2A being an exclusive retailer of some special editions of Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition. Man, the Internet was pissed. G2A is notorious for their shady business practices so to see a fairly large studio like Gearbox actually partner with them was kind of beyond the pale. Cut to today where Gearbox is now threatening to kill the partnership with G2A un...

    The lid is now being blown off of Project Scorpio, the new Xbox console coming from Microsoft later this year. The first video from Digital Foundry takes a look at how Scorpio will improve both Xbox One and Xbox 360 games. For those who can't sit through the entire video the key highlights are:
    1. Smoother performance and no screen-tearing (won't magically turn a 30fps game into a 60fps game however)
    2. Dynamic resolution titles will now run at the maximum possible resolution

    (Review) Go Home, Mass Effect: Andromeda, You're Drunk

    No man's Mass Effect.
    For the sake of this review, let me just state that as of this writing I have not yet finished playing through Mass Effect: Andromeda. However, I have put in about 69 hours into the game, which includes a mix of both the game's single player and multiplayer content, a bulk of which has been spent in the game's single player content. This will not be a traditional review. This will instead be a quick look at some of the highs and the many lows that this game has deliver...

  • Poll: Are You a Fan of Paying More to Play Early?
    by Shawn Zipay
    Get that Premium Edition and play three days early!

    Looks like the latest growing trend with game releases is to offer a more expensive Premium or Gold or whatever edition that grants you access to a game a few days ahead of its official release.

    Starfield did it with their $99.99 (USD) Premium Edition. Today, Payday 3 is doing an "Early Access" release with their Silver and Gold editions. Diablo 4 did the same thing earlier in the year, as did Madden NFL 24,...
    I don't mind. If people want to spend more to play early, let them!

    I think it's kind of dumb that people get to play earlier. Spending more shouldn't offer a "head start" on other paying customers.
