Honestly I haven't played a Perfect Dark since the N64 era, and even then it was sparingly since it was only when I rented it from Blockbuster.

I just use a can of air on my Series X when it just dusty. It takes like 2 minutes to clean it without having to tear apart anything.

Played this game last year and finished it. Really a great game that is faithful to the IP. In fact I cant wait for the next game. If you have never played this game this is a great deal.

@jikflet I have bought games that I own physical copies of so I can play them on my Series S as well. If anything you can sell the physical.copy at some point.

Really enjoying it so far what I have played. I actually like the slower pace compared to Doom Eternal.

Doom: The Dark Ages (Series X) Going to be starting this this weekend. One of my most anticipated games this year.

Madden 25 (Series X) After successfully defeat the Lions in Super Bowl 60 I am looking to start my third year on the Denver Broncos and go for the Super Bowl repeat.

Diablo Immortal (PC) Yes I do have a phone but I will be playing it on PC. I am still in a Diablo mood and am a bit curious about Immortal. Just looking to do a playthrough of the story and nothing more.

Umm MMOs have been dealing with this for years. It's been a staple of WoW since back during the original Lich King when I played. They are currency farmers and the ain't going away soon trust me. You just gotta learn to just ignore them.

If it comes to Gamepass I might give it a try. I still need to play Stray at some point. I did play Big City Little Kitty earlier this year on Gamepass and enjoyed that one for what it was.

Batista would have been perfect ten years ago. The problem is now he's lost to much muscle and unless he goes back to his original training he ain't going to get it back. Unless they do some CG tricks with him.

Never understood how this thing (I refuse to call it a game) became so popular. Are people that mindless?

Awesome news!! Will have to pick this game up again here soon.

Oh come on, gamers are becoming more and whiny little bitches and quite honestly a disgrace to the hobbie. Games end that's fact. What's next are games going to complain that a game is being made? SMH.

@GuyinPA75 I don't know there is positive to all digital just like all physical.

@themightyant @AlwaysPlaying Thanks for the answers. I wasn't 100% sure but I figured as much since digital purchases arent physically shipped but you never know with screwy governments.

I can see publishers using the tariffs as an excuse to raise prices on digital purchases but I can see them also doing digital only releases to avoid them. Still having only half a game on a disc makes no sense if you want to avoid tariffs. It costs the same to ship no matter if its half a game or a full game on disc. This is just laziness on part of the publisher.

@Ricky-Spanish I have thought the very same thing myself.

Come on Activision just fix your games and get rid of the exploits that let them do this. Oh wait if you don't that means the hacker would just have to buy another copy of the game everytime you ban them thus creating more dollars for you.

So just curious here. Does anyone know if digital games are subject to tariffs as well?

Loved Fallout and can't wait for Season 2 especially since it looks like it will take place in New Vegas.

I will pass. I am still happy with my current Switch.

I live in the US and never heard of them, must be a regional place.

For me this marks the beginning of the Modern console. Before this most consoles just played games the 360 could do so much more.

Well yeah when you cancel games, close studios and fire developers that is what happens.

I might be the odd one but I just couldn't get into them. I tried 1, 2 and 3 and never finished them I just ended up getting bored of them and falling of off them. Maybe I will give them another shot someday.

A bit of a retro weekend for me

NBA Jam (SNES) Going to playing starting a Team game with my son and see if we can beat all the NBA teams.

Heroes of Might and Magic III (PC) Continuing with the campaign still a great game even all these years later.

Diablo III (Series X) Goal is to finish up Act III this weekend.

Madden 25 (Series X) Midway through my second year as a half back for the Denver Broncos.

I honestly thought this closed down years ago.

@Fiendish-Beaver Um both you know different people have different opinions.

@LostInBlue0 Never had a problem with Iron Galaxy in the past so I had a feeling they were a good choice since Vicarious Visions is gone.

@Brigurugi It was it really up to if he was coming back it was due to his allegations of domestic abuse that was questioning whether he was going to be in the game or not.

Can't wait for this one. Vice City was my favorite of the GTA cities.

God I hope the MP stays military focused. I don't want to see crap like Ninja Turtles, Seth Rogan, Terminators and such running around in a military shooter. If I wanted that I will play Fortnight not a military based shooter.

And let me guess it will be priced no less then $600. 🙄

@Kaloudz I don't know alot of times I rather have nothing then another movie or game in a series I love then a cash grab. But in the end I just won't watch it or play it.

@Kaloudz In all honesty they just need to stop with the reboot, remake ideas and just do something different. Like something in the vain of Salvation or the TV series. Take a period that's hasn't been done before and go with that. Explore the war more or John as a kid with his mom before the events of T2 or even Sarah before having John.

Yeah Salvation was set to be a trilogy but when the studio went bankrupt that plan died.

@Kaloudz Yep that's my biggest problem with the series is that they always have to change the timeline of past movies everytime to make their movie make sense. I mean I guess it makes sense with all the time hopping and changing future events and what not the continuity would get all messed up. The almost need a Marvel multiverse kind of thing to happened lol.

I totally forgot about Bale's rant lol for some reason I always think that happened during Dark Knight, then again I forgot that Bale was in Salvation. Which speaking of series ending early apparently Salavation was the beginning of a new Terminator trilogy but for whatever reason they never did the other movies.

I already have a both a Series X and S so no.

It makes sense now why MS is pushing Gamepass on so many devices like Smart TVs, phones, tablets, PCs. They can still attract people who want to play their games but don't want to spend all that money on a new console. Where as people who want to play Nintendo games or Playstation games will need to purchase a Switch 2 or PS5 to play them and due to the price hikes may not now.

Diablo III (Series X) Started Act III this week will continuing on this weekend.

Madden 25 (Series X) With my rookie season done lost to the Chiefs in the Division Finals, I am looking to improve this season.

Avowed (Series X) Still working on this one and still enjoying it.

@Kaloudz I have seen One and two a million times I saw 3 once in theaters and wasn't impressed. I get that they couldn't use Arnold at the time cause he was too busy playing Governor of California, but to me the movie just felt like any other sci fi action movie and was largely forgettable. I liked Terminator Salvation for what it was. What was so interesting with that one to me at least was that they decided to place it during the war something that I have always wanted to see in the franchise so for me that one was decent. I have never seen Genesys due to the bad reviews I read and heard about and the fact that it was some kind of reboot/remake thing of the first two movies just killed it for me. I also haven't seen Dark Fate either mainly cause I am just scared to see it as I can't see it being any better then 3 or Genesys.

As for the TV series, yeah that was a big disappointment that they ended it after two season and on a cliffhanger. Although season two wasn't as good as the first so I could see why they canceled it. But for what it was I did enjoy the first season.

Little Kitty Big City is a must play. It can be completed in less the eight hours and is great to get some achievements. It's also a really cute game.

@Kaloudz Right and that's where they stand. They can't really continue the Friday the 13th series unless Victor Miller allows them, which he won't that how this whole mess started so unfortunately they are just left with abandoning the I.P. I agree that it sucks but if he owned the I.P. then it's his to do as he wishes and if they used it without his permission then that on them and deserve what the got. It just sucks for fans of the franchise.

Yeah I agree I tend to watch older movies then the newer ones, just something about them that I enjoyed more. The first two Terminators are amoung my favorite movies with the first being may favorite out of the two. Funny enough it was original planned out as a horror movie.

@Kaloudz Well basically everything that was mentioned in the first movie they can't use so like the setting and names which is basically everything. All they can do is some generic like Friday the 13th knock off. I mean they own the rights to Jason's look from 2 on but not his name. If anything they would have to just do a spinoff series with someone impersonating him or trying to follow in his footsteps, think Scream.

That said then they have the problem of it being to close to the Scream series. Which makes me think I wonder if Wes Craven knew about all this stuff going down when he came up with the idea for Scream lol.

And let me guess it will be $80 when it released. If that's the case I will wait longer till I find a used copy.

@Master_Cthulhu70 Yeah Avowed is everything that I wanted Skyrim to be years ago. I am still chugging my way through it enjoying every moment of it. I want to play Oblivion after Avowed but I feel that Avowed will spoil me and that I won't enjoy Oblivion.

@Kaloudz So from my understanding he owns Jason, Pamela, Alice Hardy and the rights to the first movie. The second on he doesn't, but the argument is that because he owns the rights to Jason, Pamela that the second on shouldn't have been made without his ok.

In theory you could make a sequel and have a hockey mask killer but you couldn't use the Voorhees name in it or an connection to the first movie. But yeah.... I know it's very confusing lol.

@Kaloudz I guess they could do sequels like the way Scream does it where it's a copy cat killer and not Jason. But referencing Jason that would be the tricky part.

@Kaloudz Off and on for years. I know for awhile he was told he has no case but appearently he had owned the character.

Yeah I am not sure if those movies don't exist anymore or what, I know that it probably means no more sequels unless they create a new killer. I mean if you want to get technical part five I think it was is OK cause that wasn't Jason in the end.

I can see alot of people holding onto their older consoles longer and the rise in sales of used games and private sales. This is will not be good for the gaming landscape.

@Kaloudz So originally the creator Victor Miller wrote and created the characters for the first movie. He never intended to make sequels or series or anything. I am guessing due to the success of Halloween, and the slasher genre the studio decided to make the sequels and making Jason the killer in the rest of them. He was told that because he was an independent contractor for the studio and was a work for hire that his copyright for Jason, Pamela and the rest of the first movie wasn't legal, so they studio went on to produce the other movies without his involvement or say in the matter. I don't think he even got royalties. After years of fighting and such the courts ruled in his favor saying that yes he owns the copyrights and that Jason was used without his permission. So as a result stuff like the game had its license revoked and had to stop.

It would be like if Miyamoto made Mario years before Nintendo and had a copyright on him and Nintendo came along and said hey we want to make a game with him in it and then it blew up what it was today Mario being Nintendo's Golden Boy, but Miyamoto never agree to it.

@Kaloudz From my understanding it never sat well with him but was misinformed for years on his legal rights.

@Kaloudz It's because the creator of Jason Voorhees won the rights to Jason and he doesn't like what Jason has become. He never intended for Jason to be a killer just his mom. So due to him regaining the rights to Jason he took away the rights for Gun Media to use Jason in their game, so Gun Media pulled the game.

With a 40 hour a week job and then ***** that needs to be done around the house I am lucky I get 8 hours a week to game.
