Mass Effect 1: Legendary Edition (XBO) – Review

I pledge allegiance to Jean-Luc of the United Federation of Planets, and to Glasgow-kiss everyone that gets in the way of a peaceful resolution. I think it fair to say, through all that I write about and all that I consume in…

Codemasters Bosses Exit Ahead of EA Takeover

I think it is fair to say that rumors of the purchase of Codemasters a while back had a few concerning names around it. Neither 2K nor EA have been getting into the favor of many fans of sports (or “sports-entertainment”) games of…

The Sims 4 Cottage Living Expansion Pack Revealed

Simmers have been asking for farming, and oddly enough, livestock since the Sims 2 days. While they did give them horses in Sims 3 and chickens via the Sims 3 store, the request really wasn’t addressed by EA or Maxis. Until now,…

F1 2021’s Deluxe Edition Revealed

You know, the other day I sat down to watch a video that was just a few minutes long, and it was just a side-by-side of real-life footage and gameplay. It is always endlessly funny the lengths some people will go to…

EA Splits From E3 This June

I think I am the only one that is both dreading and endlessly excited for E3, and I’m ok with that. Well, for the most part. The fact that I’ll be death incarnate by the 15th of June isn’t a prospect I’ll…

F1 2021 Announced For Later This Year

You best believe I’m singing The Rascals’ “A Beautiful Morning” today. Ok, it does help to know I’m writing this long before you’re reading it, but still. The sun is (possibly) shining, the birds are somewhere being drowned out by engines, and…

EA Suspends Some FUT Content Amid “EAGate” Scandal

Often it is your mother or grandmother that will tell you, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” I took that advice well, didn’t I? Ok, let me say something nice about an EA game before…

FIFA 21 Hit With Ultimate Team “EAGate” Scandal

In what is oddly the world’s weirdest story to throw my way mid-March, an EA employee has been accused of some form of insider trading. Not on the stock market, that would be too normal for the internet and EA. Instead, it…

Judging the Mass Effect Trilogy in 2021

The tough thing about games like the Mass Effect trilogy is that debates about the games are tough to navigate. If you played the games in the 2000s and 2010s and enjoyed them, then you’re likely excited about the Legendary Collection coming later this…
