Watched this last night. It’s a pretty good retelling of the battle between Sega and Nintendo during the 90’s and the mistakes they both made to allow Sony to sweep in and win. I found the fact that Sega of Japan really ruined the business out of jealousy of Sega of America fascinating.

The above showcase shows some impressive new games, but nothing is as impressive as the fact that they are matching Xbox’s price for the top tier console. That alone means I will be seeking out Sony’s Console first. The Playstation 5 launches in America on November 12th.

Long rumored, Xbox officially announced the Xbox series x today, a lighter discless version of their new Xbox slated for this fall. This system is less powerful then the new xbox but can do more than the current systems. At $299 its a steal for next gen gaming, but if you have the means I think the more modern option X is the way to go. Still its nice to have an option for entry level gaming in the next gen, and if you just stream your games its not a bad option. It releases November 10th.

The lighting effects, the lack of load times, the particle effects. Regardless if your interested in this series, you can already see the next gen cabalities of the PS5 in this launch title. Playstation right now is showing they are going into the next generation. Xbox is still trying to sell subscriptions. We will see what strategy pays off.

The Marvel Avengers Beta is live this weekend and open to everyone. I downloaded it on PS4. I had no expecations for anything good as I was never that into the trailers. I actually loved what ive progressed through so far. Over two hours of gameplay and still going. That opening stage where you get to take turns with the main cast is pretty impressive. I’ll dive back into it tonight and see what else it has to offer. The Beta closes Sunday so go play on the system of your choice.

We got this as part of this months Playstation Plus lineup but it is available for you on whatever platform you play on. Obviously if that is Playstation, grab it now while it’s free.
The game is a multiplayer online game show. You and 60 other players race through obstacle courses trying to ‘qualify’ for the next round. Some of the design choices are super intuitive and the added team versus team levels mean you can’t just rely on your skils to survive. Matches go quick so its a fun game for a quick 15 minute bout of insanity. Pick it up.
