Microsoft’s original Xbox console had a lot of unique games and one of the titles that really stood out was a game called Voodoo Vince.  Now, Microsoft is remastering the game for the Xbox One and the PC.  After taking a look at this new trailer I am happy to say it’s just as charming and original as I remember.

All old-school PC gamers fondly remember the name Quake. It was the first fully 3D game to be released by id Software. I remember it as the game that introduced me to online and LAN multiplayer gaming, and it turned me into a die-hard PC enthusiast for many years.

Earlier today, Bethesda has announced that they are now taking applications for the highly anticipated Quake Champions Closed Beta.

If you think you have a powerful enough PC, and you want the chance to help test the game’s online multiplayer, check out this website and sign up!

Nintendo’s successor to the Wii U console is the Nintendo Switch, a hybrid portable device with the ability to output to your HDTV.

Rumors of shortages are abound, but that just goes with the territory when it comes to any new console release. We don’t have our own Switch here just yet but we will be reporting on the console and its games as they come out through the year.

With his trusty Bawls Ginger at his side, Maniac returns to Final Fantasy X, only to find himself playing one of the most boring parts of the game…but he stuck with it and reached one of the most exciting boss battles up to this point.

Those Al Bhed Primers are really starting to come in handy.

We Have a Beam Pro Channel! February 27, 2017

We’ve got some big news to announce for the site today, we have created an all new game streaming channel on Beam.Pro!

We’ve been having constant technical issues streaming Xbox One games on Twitch.TV for almost a year and because of that we have been playing PS4 games exclusively in that time. For right now, we will use Beam exclusively to stream games on the Xbox One, and will continue to use Twitch for PS4 game streams.  This shouldn’t be an issue as we still plan to archive all of our game streams on our YouTube Channel after they’ve concluded.

This is exciting news as we have stockpiled a backlog of Xbox One games over the past year we would like to stream. There is no shortage of great Xbox One and Xbox 360 games including Quantum Break, Halo 5: Guardians and Alan Wake.

You may also notice we’ve posted a direct link to our Beam Channel on the site’s sidebar. Feel free to use it all you’d like.

Special thanks to Wynter for helping us out with the Beam service and answering some of our questions while we were doing test streams!
