Are you Following the Stellar Blade BS?

Stellar Blade is an excellent game for the PlayStation (PS5). The developer Shift Up did a phenomenal job on their game and Sony decided to screw with it. I mentioned this in my article about the “Modern Game Shit-Show.” I have been playing Stellar Blade since it was released and really do enjoy the game. I am NOT a fan of censorship of any kind. I am aware that Nintendo censored damn-near…

New Intellivision Amico Update

At one point, I was an ardent Intellivision Amico supporter. Those days are over. It very fascinating that the company no longer even mentions the console. In this latest update, the focus is on Amico Home and a controller?

Are Xbox Games Coming To PS5 & Switch?

It is likely a means to move #GamePass to the Sony environment. More on this later……
