Trüberbrook Added To Twitch Prime – August 2020

Usually, it is Dark Souls that brings existential dread. Yet doing these every week with the ever prevailing free-to-play, mobile, and battle royale nonsense, I hate Mondays. I’ll hate next Monday as I’ll have to talk about Epic Seven, Big Farm: Mobile Harvest, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, Destiny…

PlayStation State of Play – August 2020

I’ve made it no secret that I prefer the single burst of bullshot trailers and blasts of press releases over a few days that normally constitutes E3. It is easier that way. Nonetheless, the somewhat elongated E3 seems to have petered off and…

PS5 Will Support PS4 Controller for Some Titles

The PS5 and Xbox Series X are going to be revolutionary for a number of reasons. One reason is going to be the sheer amount of games you can play on a single console. Both Microsoft and Sony see a benefit in…

Twitch Prime Loot – August 2020

Sometimes, I wonder when Amazon/Twitch will stop with the weekly “free games with Prime.” At least, then I can go back to making these articles where I moan about online and free-to-play games a monthly occurrence. Nonetheless, we’re one more month into…

Xbox Is Happy Game Pass Isn’t Profitable

For a while now, I’ve been a strong and vocal advocate for the Xbox Game Pass system, the Netflix of games. When I last used it, before issues within Microsoft’s system, it was about 120+ games on the Xbox One. Some of…
