Minecraft: Story Mode is about to be delisted from digital marketplaces, but something odd is going on with the Xbox 360 version. In a strange limitation of the Xbox Live Marketplace, there is no way to remove a title from sale while lettin...

Microsoft's heading into E3 with a Games with Gold lineup that's fairly divisive. All of the games are good in their own right, but only one of them is something that most everyone can enjoy -- and most everyone has already played it. On X...

As an action fan I'm pretty much checking out everything I can get my hands on, good or bad, to expand my knowledge of the genre. Blades of Time is just one of those games that you probably somehow own in your Steam collection and have neve...

Microsoft has announced the May 2019 line-up for its "Games With Gold" selection and it's all over the place. I understand not every month can be a banger, but this is an exceptionally odd collection of games. Each game is from a different ...

Deep Silver has finally shown off some footage of Saints Row: The Third running on Switch and it looks like Saints Row on the Switch. I'm not really sure what else to say about it, because it doesn't seem to sport any kind of visual upgrad...

Of April's Games with Gold lineup, there's a rogue one -- a solo standout that kind of rises above the rest. It also sticks out because it's the only true old-timer of the bunch, the one you have to go back a couple console generations to ...

Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, Konami's funky multiplayer-focused greatest-hits remix of past games, is playable on Xbox One. The 2010 Xbox 360 title just joined the backward compatible list. The game never quite lived up to its home-run...

Anyone who hasn't had the pleasure of playing the original Crackdown can do so now at no price. In the lead-up to the launch of Crackdown 3, Microsoft has made 2007's Crackdown free for everyone. It can be played on Xbox One throu...

And just like that, I'm thankful that I inadvertently let Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon slip through my fingers when it first released (and again after recently burning through Castlevania: Requiem, now that I think about it). Inti Create...
