Indie Game Lookout for July 28, 2016
Another week, another batch of Indie Game Lookout titles. I actually had more intriguing titles than I had spots. I do want to keep it to three entries per week; I don’t want to drop a whole encyclopedia on everyone. I’m thinking of doing side bits where I highlight a particularly juicy title. Let me know what you think about that, and please keep feeding me indie goodness on my Twitter account. W...[Read More]

Indie Game Lookout for July 21, 2016
I’ve been away from Indie Game Lookout for too long. Granted, a hospital got in the way, but I’m better than that! I’ve given up on finding a theme for this series. I’ll simply focus on good indie games and leave it at that. As always, hit me up on Twitter if you know of any indie games you think are worthy of attention.

Valve Cracks Down on CSGO Gambling Sites
Valve is usually reticent about swinging its mighty banhammer wildly, but it seems recent events have forced them to wield it and crack down en masse. In response to growing concern over Counter-strike: Global Offensive gambling sites, Valve has issued violation notices to at least 23 betting sites that use Valve’s Steam platform to function. According to CSGO Big, one of the sites dedicated to be...[Read More]

Project Scorpio: New Xbox One or Something Else?
After watching Microsoft’s E3 2016 conference, I was livid. The source of my anger was their official reveal of Project Scorpio, their planned upgraded version of the Xbox One. The reveal was not a surprise; it was mentioned along with the Xbox 360 S, their slimmer Xbox One, a couple of days prior to the conference. But seeing and hearing it confirmed by Microsoft made my “Hulk Smash” instincts po...[Read More]
Battlefield 4 and Hardline Getting New UI
Battlefield 4 was a bug-riddled mess when it was released three years ago. DICE, however, has never stopped fixing and fine-tuning the game. Soon, it and its successors are getting an all-new user interface that will make it easier to set up squads. The new user interface will be rolled out to Battlefield 4, Battlefield Hardline, and Battlefield 1. It will allow players to create squads before a g...[Read More]

E3 Impressions: Microsoft Conference
The entire time I was watching Microsoft’s E3 conference, I kept looking up. I imagined the sword of Damocles dangling over my head, in the form of a product unveiling. At the end of the conference, the sword finally fell. Up to that point, Microsoft’s conference was pretty decent. After the unveiling, all I wanted was to scream. Oh, and remove that sword from my brain. I’ll get to my rant about t...[Read More]
E3 Impressions: Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare
Mentioning Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare online tends to elicit very radical responses from “impassioned” fans. Many of the responses are negative, and some are vitriolic. I have prepared myself for these. I have my Kevlar helmet on, my bulletproof vest strapped on, and my AR-15 loaded and ready. Bring it! OK, I’m not loaded or armored; the only thing loaded in this house is me, and the most arm...[Read More]
E3 Impressions: South Park: The Fractured But Whole
