Player Level in Overwatch Matchmaking
Player level needs to be better-considered in matchmaking.
Nintendo can’t (or won’t) fix their supply chain
Nintendon’t Supply Chain It is hard to believe Nintendo when they talk about supply and meeting customer expectations. This is the second classic system release we have seen in a year that doesn’t have supply to meet the demand. As many predicted, Super Nintendo Classic pre-orders sold out in mere seconds with many being scooped… Read More »
LawBreakers has fallen into the abyss between markets
LawBreakers is a tiny slice of an already small pie. This is going to be a short one because there isn’t a lot to say. Unfortunately, for what is probably a great group of developers, LawBreakers is falling very short of expectations. Not every game on the market needs to be the next Overwatch or Counter-Strike,… Read More »
Efficient Gaming Spotlight: Everspace
Space is big. Everspace is right-sized. I don’t like “roguelikes”. I’ve never been able to get into the start-over game loop that has seemingly taken over a large portion of indie development.

Efficient Gaming: Adult LAN Party Edition
The adult LAN party. No, not that kind…the other kind. I had the pleasure of attending a LAN party over the weekend. A good time was certainly had by all. We almost have the formula perfected but getting to this point took some trial and error. Nothing says “I love gaming with friends” like packing… Read More »
Dear Microsoft, The Xbox is an x86 PC (stop pretending it’s not)
Microsoft’s Ken Lobb (think Goldeneye) did an interview with Game Informer (linked from Gamespot) and danced around the fact that the Xbox family of consoles are small form x86 computers (thus they are going to upgrade them like a standard PC instead of releasing an entirely new device). Here is what he said: “What’s new is… Read More »
Commentary on the Nintendo Switch reviews…
It is going to be quite a while until the industry looks back on the Switch as a huge success, mediocre success, or gamble that failed. There is one thing I have written about that I think is going to be the savior or key failure of this device: It is a product that makes… Read More »
