Xbox Steps Back and PlayStation Steps Beyond
Whether it was due to the vocal outcry online or disappointing pre-order numbers, the decision has been made: The Outer Worlds 2 will no longer release at the previously announced $79.99 RRP. It’s yet another unforced error by Xbox, which just can’t seem to stop shooting itself in the foot.…
Marathon Reveal / Blue Prince / Switch 2 Reveal
Somehow, we’re only two weeks into April. A lot has happened! I’m introducing a new feature called The Paw Report, where I discuss a few topics on my mind. For the premiere, here are my thoughts on Marathon, Blue Prince, and the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal. No Zombies? How diverse.…

The Game Awards 2023 – Picks & Predictions
It’s awards season! And there’s no better way to kick it off than The Game Awards, a show that I consistently enjoy despite not always being the most entertaining. Geoff Keighley has stuck with his vision for TGA and evolved the show into a slickly produced showcase of the past…
We’re All Drowning in Video Games. It’s a Nice Feeling.
It’s been an overwhelming year for video games — and it’s not finished yet! October and November are rammed with games from across the genres releasing on an almost daily basis. We’ve even had some titles delayed until next year to escape the madness, like the Alone in the Dark…
