007 First Light — A Bond Origin Story That Earns the Tux
My thoughts on IO Interactive's Bond origin story. A great marriage of Uncharted, Hitman, and Bond. Easy recommend.

Summer Game Fest Didn't Miss Much
Geoff kept the lights on. The games kept them burning. A packed show, a few surprises, and an A- that was earned.

This Was a Good Xbox Show. The Exclusivity Thing Is Still Annoying.
A good show from a company still figuring out what it wants to be. The games were real. The exclusivity calls were not.

PlayStation Showed Up This Summer. Mostly.
20 games, 7 new reveals, one very confusing God of War closer, and a solid B grade.

77 million accounts. 20 years of breaches. And a vulnerability that can take everything you own with just an email address.
