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...

Is Battlefield back?

The beta for Battlefield 6 is live. Some of you have probably already played a decent bit of it, while others may still be waiting for the first weekend to open up to everyone.

Based on what you have no seen, played, read about, or heard: Is Battlefield 6 a "Yea!" or a "Nay!" from you? Basically, are you sold on the new Battlefield or not?

ABSOLUTE CINEMA

Which video gamedo you pick as your favorite video game to film adaptation?

There are already a bunch of gaming franchises that have found huge success on the silver screen including Sonic the Hedgehog, Mario, and now Minecraft. Maybe you prefer some of the less popular options, such as Borderlands, Tekken, or Need for Speed.

I will try to include as many franchises as I can in this poll. If your favorite game to film adaptation was Mortal...

It's getting hard to ignore the hints.

On New Year's Eve, we had G-Man voice actor Mike Shapiro drop a subtle nod to something on the horizon for Half-Life. If it wasn't enough that he used the G-Man voice, his social media post also included various Half-Life and Valve hashtags.

Shapiro's Tweet included a bit of a mysterious image that people quickly found was related to a song, Best Long Dog, he uploaded to his YouTube on December 16, 2024. People noticed that the...

New games? Old games? No games?

It's about that time again. The time of the year where a fat, reclusive guy in a red suit falls down your chimney, regardless of if you have one or not, and reverse robs some of you in exchange for eating an assortment of your sugary confections and pasteurized white animal liquid.

Anyway, do you have any gaming plans for the holiday? Maybe catching up on your backlog, playing some new games, or nothing at all?...

Probably a temp poll question until I can bother to think of something better: So, how's it going?

Hell of a week, eh?

A spooky season staple.

How's about a random, non-gaming related question for the spooky month?

A real simple one: Do you like pumpkin pie?

I'm pretty sure I haven't asked this one yet.

I missed last month. I know. I may have already asked this one before? I'm old. I can't remember what I did yesterday. Deal with it.

This month, I'm curious about your preferences when it comes to online multiplayer gaming. Do you prefer pure competitive multiplayer (PvP) experiences in games where you go up against other human players? These would be like your usual Call of Duty multiplayer modes, your Conquest modes in Battlefield,...

SEGA!

Sega hasn't been in the console making business for a while now but they used to be one of the major competitors to Nintendo. Just wondering: What is your favorite Sega console?

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?

Playing these games isn't...

An announcement is expected to take place soon.

For a little while now, rumors suggested that Xbox will begin to offer many of their first-party titles on competing hardware platforms. Just this week, those rumors were given more substance from a number of sources that say games such as Starfield, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Hi-Fi Rush, and even Gears of War could end up on PlayStation 5 and the Nintendo Switch.

If these new reports are to be believed, these first-party...

Resolving to lose weight is so 2000 and late.

It's a new year and a new you. Maybe it's the same you. Either way, it's still a new year. With New Years having come and gone, it's long past the time you probably made your New Year's resolutions.

This month's poll, and I admit it's kind of a lame one but I can't think of anything else right now, asks: Have you ever made a New Year's resolution related to gaming?

No, I do not mean 1080p or 4K, or whatever other...

So many games have special holiday events.

A simple one for mid-December: Do you enjoy playing or participating in in-game holiday events?

It doesn't just have to be Christmas-themed events either. If you like a game's Halloween events, or Easter events, or whatever other holiday event a game might have throughout the year, those all count too!...

2023 has been a banger year for new game releases.

2023 has already been an absolutely incredible year when it comes to new game releases. In 2023 alone, Metacritic lists 25 game releases that have amassed an average score of 90 or higher. The previous best year, again according to Metacritic, was back in 2011.

Let's just take a little glimpse at some of the games that came out this year that scored a 90 or higher. We had Baldur's Gate 3 in August, The Legend of Zelda:...
