Minecraft Realms: The Feature I Didn’t Know I Needed
Minecraft on Nintendo Switch got a major update this last week. And with my strange history with Minecraft, it is no surprise I am ecstatic.

Mark Cerny Hopes Sony Can Match Nintendo’s Legacy
Whether you are a PlayStation or Xbox fanboy, you cannot deny that Nintendo’s longevity deserves not only respect, but also praise. Through the years, we have seen the likes of Sega, TurboGrafix, and Atari disappear form the console business.

This is one of those times. Here are the games that I am ...
Sony Sues Over Kevin Butler Appearance In Wii Commercial
Kevin Butler has become a rather popular spokes person for PlayStation products. In their commercials, he portrays a rather likeable executive that is not afraid to speak his mind.
