Played the Parasite Mutant demo and three things came to mind:
1) Gameplay wise this is exactly what I wanted as a fan of the original Parasite Eve
2) Its an absolute shame this is skipping Xbox as the platform needs more games like this.
3) Parasite Eve 2 in the RE Engine would be SICK!

Yes, Claire Obscur Expedition 33 really is that good. 1 hour in and you knew it was a GOTY contender.

Random PS1 pickup. Im not much of a PS1 collector, but there is always something special about buying a PS1 game.

Regarding Sonic Racing Crossworlds, I would love to see the Riders costumes make a return. Also, it would be cool, albeit unrealistic, to let Shadow race using his skate extreme gear. Overall, I absolutely love this game!

I don't think you guys understand how fire the concept of Virtual Boy was to kids in 90's. It was great until you actually owned one.

First time in 26 years when I genuinely don't have a reason to boot up my Dreamcast outside of nostalgia. Capcom Fighting Collection 2 provided the last holdouts that still had me booting up the console. Truly an incredible run for a 90s console.

I'm so ready for Sonic Racing Crossworlds. I'm hoping to see some Sonic R courses sprinkled in there especially Radical City and Radiant Emerald. Imagine, starting in Radical Highway but the final lap detours you off the highway to Radical City?!?!?! So many possibilities!

In Sonic Racing Crossworlds there is a gadget that gives you 20+ to every stat on the 3rd lap. That ish is BUSTED!

I wish Donkey Kong Bonanza had a playable demo because my kids keep asking to play it, but I refuse to spend $70 on a game I'm not quite ready to play myself.

I got super lucky and was able to pick up a LG C3 42" OLED for $200.

I didn't want to buy Expedition until I finished Metaphor but I get the feeling the Xbox physical edition isn't going to get restocked. I got super lucky and managed to find a GS that had more than one copy. Definitely going to have to rearrange my JRPG playlist because it's getting ridiculous.

Played the FF16 demo. Absolutely loved it! Absolutely will be waiting for a sale because I don't believe in spending $70 dollars on a two-year-old DIGITAL game. Had it had a physical release, I would have sunk as low as stepping foot into a Gamestop just buy the one "new" but unsealed copy they had.

I'd be very surprised if the next Xbox has a disc drive. 1st party studios are comfortable not shipping physical versions of their games, major 3rd party releases are getting shadowed dropped without a second thought, and the extreme pivot to Xbox PC is telling me everything I need to know smh.

Caius is such an underrated FF villain. I place him in the same tier as Sephiroth.

For $1 ($2 on Switch), this game is pretty fire. It's low-key addictive once you get into it.

I'm hoping that a Switch 2 version of an 8 slot card reader is available in a couple of years. The current version is one of the greatest accessories I've ever purchased. It's up there with the Action Replay 4M Plus for the Sega Saturn, and the X Joy Box for the original Xbox.

I'm still baffled by the fact that Arkham Knight has yet to receive a 4K/60 remaster.

I've always had a love/hate relationship with Elena. I love what she represents, but hate how she is represented (typical of alot of 90s black characters). That being said, her redesign is a step in the right direction. As a general fighting game character, the way she looks and plays looks sick AF!
Bringing a pawsitive attitude and capoeira style, Elena charges in to #StreetFighter6 on June 5 as the final character from Year 2! 🤸🏽♀️
With a herd of fluid moves that will turn any opponent into prey, Elena promises each fight will be elephantastic.

The SegaCD/Saturn US cases were so peak. My US Saturn should be much larger but I didn't take the best care of my game cases when I was a kid.

Just when I was about to give Gamestop props for sending me three CIB games in visually amazing condition (Xmen Origins: Wolverine, Need for Speed Carbon, and Soul Cailbur V), two of the games didn't work with my 360.
