Jimquisition – Big Empty Sandboxes
To kick off the new year, Jim releases the very first Jimquisition for 2017! It covers the massive amount of open world titles coming out this generation and how some feel lacking.

But if the content isn’t engaging and worthwhile, the title can get … Read More

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SX-yEgpxpHQ Sony released a new video today to celebrate 2017! It covers all the games coming to PlayStation this year and it is a mixture of first party titles and exclusives from third party partners. Some clarification is needed though, as some of these are miss-branded. Persona 5 being called ‘PlayStation Console Exclusive’ should instead be called ‘PS4 & PS3 Exclusive’ while Nioh should be console exclusive (as a PC version is in development) rather than it’s branded ‘PlayStation Exclusive’. … Read More
