Dell Lists Metal Gear Solid V Definitive Edition on Website – I Think
Last month, Amazon listed then delisted Metal Gear Solid Definitive EX on its storefront. Dell currently has a similar listing on its online store for Metal Gear Solid V Definitive Edition, but the entry is suspect – even funny. The entry shows as being for the PlayStation 4 and has an availability date of October 11th, 2016. You might miss it if you’re searching for it, however, because the listi...[Read More]
New Map for Overwatch Unveiled at Gamescom
During Gamescom 2016, Blizzard unveiled the first post-launch map for Overwatch.

Never Tried: Street Fighter V
I’ve been a big Street Fighter fan since Street Fighter II: The World Warrior way back in 1991. As such, I wanted to play Street Fighter V on the PlayStation 4 prior to launch. I didn’t buy in, though, because I’m against pre-orders on principle – something that rankles Grumpy Joe to no end. Also, there’s no Akuma. Thanks, Capcom! Unfortunately, Capcom justified all the reasons I have for not pre-...[Read More]
