Lego Star Wars The Force Awakens on PlayStation Vita (PSVita)
Here it is! A look at Lego Star Wars The Force Awakens on PlayStation Vita. Hooray! #excited
So I bought an Xbox One.
Over this past weekend I made the decision to finally buy an Xbox One. I had kind of wanted one for a while. But I held back because there were only a handful of games I wanted for it. I didn’t want to buy a $300 console and then pay extra for just a few games.
That is until I read about the current Spring Bundle they have. I checked my local Gamestop and they had it in stock. I could not pass up the deal. For $299 I got a 1TB Xbox One, physical copies of Halo 5, Ultimate Gears of War and Rare Replay as well as a digital code for Ori and the Blind Forest. If it had been digital codes for all I would have passed but having most of those games as physical copies had me sold. Especially as they were bundled inside the box for only $299.
Dark Souls 3 – First Impressions
Let’s take a quick look at Dark Souls 3. Not a full review, I still have many, many hours left to put into this game before I can offer an intelligent review of it.

Monday VLOG #1: Yes I know it’s Wednesday…
I started a VLOG in addition to my Wednesdays videos. I took a week off from making videos so expect them to start back up this coming Monday. In the mean time enjoy our very first VLOG!
Let’s Look At: Saints Row: The Third
Saints Row: The Third or, as I will refer to it from here on out, SR3 is the third game in the Saints Row series so it’s appropriately named. It is also the first game in the series that I played. I do own the first two games and have put time into them but they didn’t capture me like SR3 did, but that’s probably because SR3 feels like a complete departure. While the first two games felt, to me at least, like self-aware GTA clones with a sense of humor about themselves, SR3 is just a wacky open world game that is best experienced than explained.
Let’s Look At: GUN
Stephen digs into GUN and talks about why it’s one of his favorite games of all time.
Let’s Look At: Grand Theft Auto (series)

September 17th, 2003 is a day that many will regard as a great day in gaming. That is the day Grand Theft Auto V was released on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. I could not have cared less. I tried, but it was impossible. The game was not on my radar or care meter. The reason is because in two months time the PlayStation 4 would be released and with it, surely a new-gen version of GTAV right? Well yes, but not until a year later and even longer for the PC release. But even then I didn’t pick it up, at least not yet. I was Grand Theft Auto’d out.
Eventually I did and rediscovered why this series is still successful. Much like war, GTA never changes. The same core gameplay you know and love is present in each and every game making any version easy to pick up and play. It’s the extra stuff they do that make each new version what it is. This is not a review of all the titles in the series or even an in-depth look. It’s just a written account of my history and thoughts of the series.
Rise of the Tomb Raider Review and Final Thoughts
Let’s Look At: The Original Xbox
Stephen takes a look at the Original Xbox. This is his second time owning one even though the first time shouldn’t count. He talks about the system itself, his random game collection for it and the bittersweet experience that helped him grow his small collection in a single day.
Let’s Look At: Rise of the Tomb Raider on Xbox 360.
Yup I bought it on last gen’s system seeing as I have yet to take the leap to an Xbox One. This game was actually going to be the one to force my hand to pick up an XBOne but once they announced it was coming to PS4 next year, and being released on 360 at the same time as the XBOne version, I decided to just pick up the 360 copy and wait for next year to get the “better” version. The PS4 version will likely include DLC and other stuff I’m sure.
Rise of the Tomb Raider Graphics vs the Original on Xbox 360
So after playing the new Rise of the Tomb Raider I kept thinking that the original looked better. I think it does, maybe because the original was made for the system and the new one was made for the next-gen systems and then down-scaled. Either way the new one looks fantastic if not a little washed out compared to the old one.
