To quickly get you up to speed: Wolfire claims that Valve uses its position with Steam to control game prices and muscle out competition. Though the initial lawsuit against Valve was dismissed, Wolfire amended their suit in May 2022 and the legal battle was back on.

    Ultimate Team Packs - The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

    In the past few years, we have seen the rise and the, well, continued rise of the "Ultimate Team" system in a number of EA Sports titles.

In fact, some years ago a number of accounts on both Xbox Live and PlayStation Network were compromised with the sole pu...

    Yakuza 0 Review


    I went in not knowing anything about the franchise, but I came away a huge fan.

    I am sad to say that I have never played any entry in the Yakuza franchise before.

However, thanks to SEGA and the upcoming Yakuza 0 for the PlayStation 4, I finally got a heaping helping of what the franchise has to offer. The focus of Yakuza 0 is split between Kazuma Kiry...

    by Shawn Zipay
    It's AAAA vs WB.

    March isn't even over yet and we've already seen a couple of stinkers come out from major gaming studios. While we tend to focus on the surprise hits or quality titles in these polls, this time it's a little bit different.
