I've played FPS after FPS. Call of Duty is fun, and Bad Company 2 is more of a thinking game, but this week I've been playing the upcoming Xbox Live Arcade game Breach, and loving every second of it.
The best description is Rainbow Six Vegas meets Bad Company 2. The cover system and slow paced tactical gameplay from Rainbow meets the more open maps and destructive environments of bad Company 2 and has created a game that will offer something a little different to most.
Of course so far I've seen a lot of people come in and play Breach as a straight FPS, never stopping to discover the neat tricks in the gameplay like shooting out a few little bricks in a wall to make a perfect sniping position, or bringing down a balcony to kill three enemy players. No, instead they play it as a straight FPS and run around at speed never using cover, never thinking about what they're doing, and they get destroyed. Murdered. Annhilated.
Breach has its flaws, i's cover system can be tempremental and the weapons feel a little weak, but the gameplay on offer is something truly great and will hopefully spark a hardcore following.
Oh, and you just have to play Convoy on Ascent. it's tense stuff as you guard your trucks while winding up a moutain path will buildings all around, carefully watching for the glint of a sniper or the sound of an RPG.
The embargo on reviews ends on Wendsday the 26th, and I'll have my review published at exactly 00.01AM on the Wensday.
Now excuse me, I'm away to play some more Breach.
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.

I was wondering how come this game only cost $11 on Steam. Then when I played it, I knew.
It's crap.
