Saints Row 4 Added To XBox One Compatibility List
Microsoft has been expanding the XBox One’s list of backwards compatible games at a rapid pace lately, adding several games each week. This week they’ve added Saints Row 4, originally released in 2013. SR4 follows the additions of Dead Space, Left 4 Dead 2 and Halo Wars, this week alone. The Saint’s Row series (and especially #4) is perhaps the most over-the-top example of open-world sandbox gaming in existence, going […]
All Future Forza Games Will Be Released For PC As Well As XBox
Until now, the Forza Motorsport series has remained exclusive to one machine: Microsoft’s XBox. You haven’t even been able to play it on Windows, a platform Microsoft owns. Why? No one knows why, but today Microsoft announced that longstanding strange tradition was ending. Forza is coming to PC, and it’s coming to stay! “Moving forward, all of our games are going to be shipping on Windows 10 and Xbox,” said […]

What Once Was Car Soccer…Now Becomes Car Basketball
The recipe for success in the indie scene last year was to combine car combat with a giant soccer ball (or a giant futbol….bol). Developer Psyonix has expanded Rocket League’s gameplay in many different ways (different cars! different arenas! a bigger ball!) but they’ve never taken the radical step of changing the mimicked sport entirely. Until now. They’ve hinted at it, but today they made it official: Psyonix is creating […]
Formula One Deletes Hundreds Of Mods Over Rights Issues
In yet another example of the age-old struggle against The Man, the corporation representing Formula One racing has forced a popular modding forum to delete hundreds of mods. The mods were meant to modify Automobilista, F1 2013 and F1 2014 — all PC games that use the official F1 license. It seems that license comes with some regulations….the type F1 VERY strictly enforces. For example, the F1 series is an […]

Rocket League Patched On XBox One
Some patches are big and some are small. This patch is pretty darn small. It only applies to one console and the patch notes are short. In addition they aren’t really all that specific. What we do know is that there was an issue with the Competitive division text where it was displaying incorrectly; post-patch this will cease to happen. Otherwise the purpose of this update was to improve game […]
Yakuza 0 Will Be On Western PS4s In About A Year

What GTA V’s New Patch Improves
A better question would be what it doesn’t improve. Nearly all of the notes on this bullet list begin with “Fixed an issue where.” Rockstar did some heavy-duty work to GTA V on March 15. These are the full patch notes. If you’ve run across a bug, hit Control-F and see if they caught it…. General/Miscellaneous – PS4, Xbox One, & PC Fixes have been implemented to improve game stability […]

Is Sony Willing To Allow Cross-Platform Play With Microsoft? Um…..
Yesterday, in response to whether Rocket League would be allowed to match up Playstation 4 and Xbox One players, Chris Charla of Microsoft said cross-platform play was fully open for discussion from their end, and they’d be willing to allow it. “in addition to natively supporting cross-platform play between Xbox One and Windows 10 games that use Xbox Live, we’re enabling developers to support cross-network play as well,” he said […]
Lindsay Lohan Is Suing Take-Two Over Her GTA V Parody Character
Lindsay Lohan has been authorized to take developer Rockstar Games and its parent company Take-Two to court, over what she claims is unauthorized use of her likeness. Specifically, the spoiled, bratty character of Lacey Jonas. See something that looked familiar, Lin? Lindsay was trying to do this all the way back in 2014, but it took until now for the case to be approved for trial due to a motion […]
