Most who actually love gaming, rather than the tribalism that comes with it, will admit that the 'Console Wars' are silly and childish. To breathe life into them ever-slightly, it's fair to say that on the grand scale of things, PlayStation is usually the company among the big three that tends to come out on top more often than not, with the biggest swaying factor being the long list of PlayStation exclusives over the years.

I never competed in Nintendo's World Championships, although I'm old enough to remember when the first one happened in 1990. Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition, based on those competitions, is a clever idea for retro game diehards, collecting 100-plus small, timed challenges spread across an assortment of classic NES games. They can be completed against online opponents, in weekly challenges, or against up to eight people in the same room. It's a party game in the spirit of WarioWare on the Switch, fast and twitchy, but… I want more.

Xbox is giving longtime fans another blast from the past by holding a fire sale for titles from what many consider to be its best console, the Xbox 360. Moreover, it’s releasing a free dynamic background that neatly ties into the sale, and is a great addition to “The Original” dynamic background the company release back in 2021 that’s inspired by the user interface seen in the first Xbox.

Xbox Treats Gamers To A Free Download And A Ton Of Super Cheap Games

Though the trend seems to be losing steam (no pun intended), live service games are still all the rage, and 2024 has seen the launch of quite a few new titles. Some surprise hits have reignited players' enthusiasm for what live service games can be, but even the most exciting online games of the year have fallen victim to similar flaws. In many cases, overpriced battle passes, rushed gameplay mechanics, and a general lack of fresh content can drive players away from games that initially had them all fired up.

I always tell people that iPads, specifically iPad Pros, have the best displays for any tech device. Even dating back to the 2018 iPad Pro, that 120hz ProMotion display was second to none. As we have gotten new iPads, Apple has doubled down on the display by giving us MiniLED with the M1 iPad Pro, and now we have new OLED panels with the new M4 iPads. But aside from using features like Sidecar, you cannot natively use your iPad as a dummy display for other video sources. I am going to show you how.

If you lived through some of gaming’s halcyon golden days of the late 1990s and early 2000s – a simpler time when you didn’t need to connect your bank account to a game in order to play it properly, you were fortunate enough to play some absolute blinders. If you didn’t live through the period, you owe it to yourself to have a look.
