Review: The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition

An easy purchase for new players but maybe a hard sell for existing owners.

It was not until I reinstalled the original PC release of The Outer Worlds that I was able to really appreciate the improvements made with the release of The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition. Initially, I believed that this looked exactly like the same game that I had played on PC back in late 2019 when it first came out.

"I'm just not seeing what makes this Spacer's Choice Edition worth...

    Phil Spencer Shares Thoughts on PlayStation Game Pass Competitor

    "It makes sense."

    Recently, rumors started to circulate around the Internet that Sony is working on a PlayStation service that would be functionally similar to Xbox Game Pass. The service, reportedly codenamed Spartacus, would allegedly replace PlayStation Now.

    Spartacus would allow PlayStation owners to pay a monthly fee for access to a library of classic and new PlayStation titles. There would be three tiers to this new program, with the base offering the same...

    Are there games better than video games?


    Video games are a great form of entertainment, and really not many would disagree. However, the online world is full of other games that, although not action-packed, with a whole well-developed narrative and carefully created characters, are still great fun. Have you ever wondered what you can play instead of video games, especially on mobile devices?

    It’s easy to say that online games are great fun, but where to find them? Not...

    Preview: The Anacrusis Early Access Release

    What to expect from this Early Access release of the latest four-player cooperative shooter.

    Stray Bombay has been hard at work developing what could be the next true successor to Left 4 Dead with their upcoming cooperative PvE title, The Anacrusis. While I'm sure they want to avoid those sorts of direct comparisons, it is a little difficult to avoid them given how much of the same DNA is shared between the two franchises. Hell, one of Stray Bombay's founders, Chet Faliszek, used to...

    Oops.

    You ever have think, "Hey, it's 1AM, let's do something stupid!" Because let me tell you, I sure as hell had that thought last night. Let's just say mistakes, actually several of them, were made. One such mistake was the fact that I neglected to perform a full site backup before I proceeded to do several more stupid things. This led to just being unable to do anything with the server.

    My plan was to restore a backup from earlier in the week. I decided,...

    Do you prefer consoles? PC? Maybe mobile is your preferred platform?

    This month's poll is a bit generic if only because I really don't know what to ask right now and this is the easiest thing that came to mind. The question is simple: Which sort of platform do you prefer to play games on?

    Do you like playing on consoles? Do you prefer to play games on PC? What about mobile games? Maybe you prefer to spend most of your time on your phone playing this, that, or the other....
