    by W. Andrew Powell November 19, 2020
    by W. Andrew Powell November 19, 2020

    Canadians love hockey, fishing, BBQing, and hiking, and we also love video games, and that’s not just kids or old school gamers, either.

    Doritos and Mountain Dew are giving away the Xbox One X

    by W. Andrew Powell November 1, 2017
    by W. Andrew Powell November 1, 2017

    Gaming and snacks go together like popcorn and movies, so I have to admit that I had a big smile on my face last night after I got a special delivery from Doritos and Mountain Dew. Waiting for me after I got back from trick-or-treating was a new Xbox One controller with a gift box filled with Mountain Dew and Doritos, all in the name of the Xbox One X.

    Xbox showcases upcoming fall titles at X16

    by Jake Robinson September 2, 2016
    by Jake Robinson September 2, 2016

    Microsoft took the press and public alike through the opportunity to go hands-on last week with their fall Xbox One lineup at the X16 Media Showcase event in Toronto. They had a full complement of first- and third-party titles set for release between now and December, with a handful of already available games to try out. I was able to play a number of the games on display, read on for my impressions.

    PAX East: VR’s Big Week

    by Jake Robinson May 13, 2016
    by Jake Robinson May 13, 2016

    The Oculus Rift recently saw its big retail release at Best Buy, Amazon, and Microsoft Store shelves. A virtual reality headset that began as a Kickstarter campaign, the company was ultimately acquired by Facebook to the tune of 2 billion dollars, leading up to it’s impending limited-retail release. There are still many people who preordered the device back in January with an expected release back in March, who are still awaiting their headsets, with their estimated ship dates having slipped to as late as August. This puts a big question mark over the viability of VR.

    ‘Rocket League’: Living room sports

    by Jake Robinson April 15, 2016
    by Jake Robinson April 15, 2016

    The last time I wrote here, I spoke of how detached I felt playing the sequel to one of the few sports games I’ve put any time into in the last decade. EA Sports UFC 2 did many of the things its predecessor did, but removed much of the smaller personality touches that kept me invested.

    ‘EA Sports UFC 2’: Punch button

    by Jake Robinson April 2, 2016
    by Jake Robinson April 2, 2016

    I don’t play sports games very often. I played a lot of NHL 94 on the Genesis, and NFL 2K on the Dreamcast. The last sports game I had spent any real time on was 3 on 3 NHL Arcade for the Xbox 360, and that came out more than 7 years ago. These games captured the feeling of participating in their real-life counterparts, and they were exciting to compete against friends. But I hadn’t found anything like them in a good long stretch.

    ‘Oxenfree’: Binge-gaming

    by Jake Robinson March 4, 2016
    by Jake Robinson March 4, 2016

    Games are an excellent medium to instill many emotions. You feel powerful, as you conquer hordes of enemies, or terror when that monster leaps at your throat. Triumph in clearing that last level; frustration because you can’t quite clear the next one. What Oxenfree, the downloadable, narrative-driven game from Night School Studio, filled me with, was dread.
