    No Physical Release of Heavy Rain PS4 in North America

    This is a bit of an odd on. When it comes to game releases, we almost always see North America getting a physical release when one is offered by a publisher. That trend seems to be bucked with the upcoming release of the Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls Collection.

    Quantic Dream posted their regional launch schedule on Facebook today. On it is no indication of a release in North America. You can still acquire both digitally. Heavy Rain for the PlayStation 4 is due out ...

    Let me open with some quick reviews for a couple of games I played this past week: Firew...

    The Future of Mobile Gaming

    It is not anything new, but the surge in mobile and casual gaming is only going to keep going strong in 2016. These past few years have seen an incredible surge in the popularity of mobile gaming. As of April 2015, 35% of all gamers said they play mobile games. It should only stand to reason to say that number will only increase as time goes on and more and more people pick up phones that are capable of playing games that are visually on par with the consoles they grew up with. We already...

  • Only One: The Game - Kanye West is Supposedly Making a Game with Paul McCartney


    Kanye West is making a game that will have music by Paul McCartney. It's called Only One: The Game and features Donda West (Kanye's late mom) riding Pegasus to the heavens.

    The above trailer seems to be the only footage online for this game right now. I apologize for how bad the quality and the annoying outro. Your guess is as good as mine right now about just what in the world is going on.

    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.

    Between the Rocksteady developed live-service Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and the "AAAA" quality Ubisoft developed Skull and Bones: Which is the bigger disappointment for you?
