For the last several months, Xbox has been continuously throwing body blows at PlayStation. Whether it be the continued awesomeness of Game Pass, the purchase of Bethesda, or getting PlayStation's own first party MLB game onto Game Pass on day 1, Xbox has been aggressively going after the clear winner of the last generation. Now it seems that PlayStation is punching themselves as well. A Last Of Us Remake that makes no sense, internal strife between first party studios, killing a potential seque...

Nintendo held its first full Direct for the first time in nearly 18 months, days before the 35th anniversary of its second biggest franchise in The Legend of Zelda, and it was.... something.

This is one of those times. We also discuss the amazing trailer for Mortal Kombat, rumors about Konami outsourcing their IP, an...

The guys are excited to have another year of their predictions special, but can't shake the feeling that this year will be the last. Zack Snyder also finally released a full trailer for ...
