Last month, EA Sports unveiled its Stanley Cup predictions. At the time, they proposed something that seemed crazy, that the Nashville Predators would win the Stanley Cup. With the Stanley Cup Finals starting next week- Nashville vs. Pittsburgh- this prediction doesn’t seem so outlandish anymore! Last year I document how EA had a pretty poor […]
Last week Nintendo gave us a ton of information about their upcoming console, the Switch, which means I can finally give my informed opinion on it. For some background first, once all the Nintendo news broke, investors and some consumers seemed to be pretty disappointed. Problems they have with the console include: The console itself […]
Final Fantasy XV is FINALLY here! Huray!! A while back, I did a blog post where I expressed skepticism about Final Fantasy XV’s prospects. In terms of reviews of the game, I was pretty much correct. Here are the scores (out of 100) of every Final Fantasy game since FFV on SNES: FFXV is one […]
Over the last year or so, the media company, Vivendi has been buying more and more shares of Ubisoft, presumably, with the goal of ultimately owning them. This isn’t the first time Vivendi has owned a video game company as until 2013, Vivendi had majority ownership of Activision Blizzard (which they owned from late 2007). The […]
This past week, The Game Critics announced their awards for the recently concluded E3 2016, with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild winning both the top console game and best in show. While a preview is far from a finished game, E3 did give us some hints of what to expect out of […]
Last week, Nintendo announced that it was selling its majority stake in the Seattle Mariners. This had me wondering, why now? When Nintendo bought the Mariners, publicly it was presented as an emotional decision, given Nintendo’s US roots are in the Seattle area- Nintendo was simply doing a good deed to help its city keep its team. […]
It’s NHL playoff season once again which reminded me that last year, I did a blog post about the EA Sports NHL playoff predictor. I took a look and as you can see below, after being hot from NHL 10 to NHL 13, the series has been in a huge slump, WAY off of reality: […]
Several years ago, I was a HUGE fan of Guitar Hero and later, the Rock Band series, owning Guitar Hero II, Rock Band 1,2 and 3 and spending tons of money on songs through DLC. I also remember fondly, having my friends over to play Rock Band for hours on end. So when Harmonix and […]
With the excitement building about Final Fantasy XV FINALLY coming out this year, there is a lot of buzz about the series once again. However, Cracked isn’t so optimistic about the franchise these days. So I decided to dig into the numbers a bit and see if we can uncover just what exactly is going […]
Last week in an interview with Time Magazine, Nintendo President, Tatsumi Kimishshima mentioned that even after Nintendo’s next console (the NX) launches, Nintendo still plans to continue to make software (presumably, games) to support Wii U owners. As a Nintendo fan having lived through previous lean Nintendo years, I was a bit skeptical about this […]
