It’s been a few weeks now since Watch Dogs Legion has been released and having the chance to get some time in on the game on PC, I feel comfortable enough to share some impressions about how my experiences with the game so far.

Who can forget the gems on the Nintendo Entertainment System and Super Nintendo Entertainment System that included Pro Wrestling, Tag Team Wrestling, Tecmo World Wrestling, WWF Royal Rumble, and WWF Raw? From the 1980s through today, wrestling games have always been an important part of my gaming collection and will continue to be. Continue Reading

This week the Xbox Series X and Playstation 5 make their long-awaited debuts.

For many gamers, this is the week that you have been waiting for. All the hype over the past few years has led to the day where the masses will finally have a next-generation video game console in their possession. The Playstation 5 (PS5) and the Xbox Series X have arrived and with it, gaming now takes it next step forward. It’s hard to believe how far the industry has come just in my lifetime alone. Part of me thinks that I should be excited at the emergence of the next generation of consoles. But at present, I’m mainly indifferent to it. Continue Reading
