Xbox Controllers Are Out of Control!
To promote Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Xbox is giving away some nasty looking fur covered controllers and a not at all nasty looking new Xbox Series S. Check out pix and more details by reading my write up on them here.
Next Week’s Releases!
This coming week has some pretty exciting drops, or as a very serious journalist told me they’re called: “releases”.
March 29th is a time for courtly rejoicing, as Crusader Kings 3 is coming to Playstation 5 and Xbox S|X. If you’ve never heard of Crusader Kings, or you’ve been King-curious for a while, this is your sign to jump on this series. It’s a fascinating gameplay loop that sees you leading a dynasty through many generations and hundreds of years. The game has been available on PC for a while, but the immersive, intrigue driven emergent narratives and devilish strategy won’t lose any luster when played on console.
March 30th will see the release of the director’s cut of Death Stranding. The original version of the game was released all the way back in the innocent, maskless days of 2019. And the story of a lone, back broken delivery man stumbling through a desolate, haunted American landscape was just fiction. Then that became the reality of every Amazon delivery person. The game was overwhelmingly beloved by critics, and plenty of fans too. But for many, the grueling first few hours of gameplay and sheer difficulty (which was definitely intentional storytelling on producer and writer Hideo Kojima’s part) turned off some players. The director’s cut will remedy some of that, making the game more accessible and adding some handy quality of life features, like a shooting range to familiarize yourself with weapons and new gameplay options to make deliveries a heck of a lot easier. If you haven’t played the game, this may be a great time to pick it up.
