It’s that time of year again. Todd is back with his Hardcore awards. This week, in part one, we learn the, sort of, winners of all the special categories. Who will be crowned the Badass and Dumbass of the year? Dive in and find out.
Our own brave Todd Hargosh straps into his custom Ghostbusters SUV and takes on the Blizzard Mountain expansion for Forza Horizon 3 on his Xbox One. Can he survive the blizzard of 2016, much less place, in a race between console and PC drivers?
Remember last week when Todd was bummed about resellers bumping up the price of the NES Classic Mini? Well, his troubles are over. Now he’s on to something better in the field of retro gaming: the Retro-Bit Generations console.
Last year the celebrated east coast game show stumbled a bit. But this year, VGXpo was back in full (almost) force once again.
Every year it seems like some game company artificially creates shortages to boost interest in a hot product, with the big N usually involved. But it’s the resellers who mostly benefit, marking up prices for everyone else. This year’s target: Nintendo’s NES Classic Mini.
Todd was finally coming around to Sony again, especially because of their superior Sony Vue TV service. But now a new PSN attack has everyone on the defensive, and the company’s treatment of affected gamers is rubbing potential new fans the wrong way.
Everyone’s favorite 4X strategy series makes a brilliant return in Civilization VI. Along with the beautiful landscapes and soundtrack comes a host of improved features from city governing to army management to more realistic victory conditions. The king is back.
This week Todd says goodbye to his cable TV provider. But what to replace it with? After trying several services, he zeros in on PlayStation Vue, where he is pleasantly surprised by the quality of the programming and low costs. Who knew PlayStation did TV so well too?
Todd’s friend and Xbox personality Ashleigh Ryan, also known as Venus Envy, was recently stripped of the gamertag she has used for over a decade. Microsoft calls it offensive. Todd calls it bone-headed censorship.
October means crisp Fall air, colorful leaves and even Halloween. But it also means a slew of new games being released, leading many gamers to dub it “Broketober.” What’s the best way to spend your game money?
