Hello,
If you've come here by mistake please read on, you never know what gems I may reveal. THis is my first N4G blog post so to get things started here's a little info about my gaming habits.
I own a PS3, a Wii, and a laptop, I'm not really a techie, so I can only tell you my laptop is nothing special in terms of gaming power.
My favourite genres are FPS, RTS and RPGs. I have virtually no retro gaming experience as far as platformers go, even though I had a NES, SNES, Mastersystem and Megadrive. I played both mega man and metroid on the Gameboy, and my memories are not exactly brilliant.
The first games I spent a real amount of time on where on the Playstation and the N64, I remember most of the classics from this era of gaming, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Banjo Kazoe, Conkers Bad Fur Day, Metaql Gear Solid, Resident Evil 1,2, + Nemisis, FFVII, VII and IX, and Of course The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Shamefully I couldn't beat the Temple of Light, and so I have never beaten that game, nor have I beaten Emerald and Ruby Weapon in FFVII.
I'm not really a hardcore gamer,with the exception of Pro Evo, which I racked up hundreds of hours on at University, including my only official tournament. I tend to play in quantity not quality. Not that I play bad games, but more that I will play many games through the solo campaign, without picking up the extras. For instance my GTA games finish at 60-75%, and I do not obsess over getting the last secret package.
Anyway, I'll keep it short and sweet, favourite game of all time, at a push is Planescape Torment, but I might change my mind tomorrow.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
