At a time when 'Ubisoft Open World Games' are at an all-time low, Sony is putting out one of their own in Ghost of Yotei. Bold move, we say.

Rest in peace to maybe the last gaming magazine standing. At least the last one mainstream enough for us to lament its complete deletion by GameStop.

The new college football game is... popular to say the least. What does it mean when a franchise goes away for over a decade? Is there still hope for Spyro?

Do we need more Overwatch-like games? No. Are we getting them? Yes. Why? Not a clue. We are just as confused as everyone else.

It doesn't seem to matter how good your games are anymore. Publishers and platform holders will sacrifice you to the altar of shareholders when their own performance is under scrutiny.

Despite not releasing very many games and having an inferior subscription service, PlayStation is still outselling Xbox by a wide margin. Why is that? No, really.

We go over the nominees for this year's Game Awards. We also remember that Warner knows nothing about how to run a video games division. A good year for games, and an awful year to make games.

The way the workforce is structured in the video games industry is unsustainable.

Yeah, not the greatest show we've seen. Maybe take this as a sign as to why E3 died and be grateful we are no longer pretending that this is a proper replacement.

In the absence of E3, we are all at the mercy of this Summer Games Festival. Perhaps it won't matter. Maybe Frank will be taken away by the birds.
