It has been almost 2 years since our last episode. What a difference almost 2 years makes! Who is ready to tune back in to Gamepinions for some Meta Quest 3 word salad (yummy yummy!) ?? In this episode, I talk about VR and my thoughts on the Meta Quest 3.

Welcome to Gamepinions Episode 69: G4 Only Lives Twice!

After a long hiatus, Gamepinions is back! G4 was back in our lives, only to suddenly disappear again. What happened to the G4 that we used to know? And what happened to this new G4 that was a complete stranger? In this episode, I talk about the demise of G4 and why I believe they failed again.

Welcome to Gamepinions Episode 68: 68.7 Billion Reasons Microsoft Has Changed Everything.

In this episode I talk about Microsoft’s gigantic acquisition on Activision Blizzard and my theories as to how Microsoft plans to handle this move. I also touch upon some of my concerns with the growing trend of consolidation in the gaming industry. Lastly, I talk about Xbox Game Pass and what I believe it will become in the future, if these acquisitions continue.

As always, thank you for listening and I will talk to you in the next episode.

It is that time again, our annual Game Of The Year Special!

In this episode, I go over all of our previous game of the year winners and then declare the winner for 2021. Admittedly, 2021 was pretty uneventful in the games department for me. In 2021 I focused on not spending money on a lot of new games and consoles, and instead started tackling my embarrassingly large backlog. While it was refreshing, I would definitely like to play more new releases this year. All that being said, while our game of the year may not have had a ton of competition, I don’t want to take away from how special it was/ is.

Here’s to the new year! Thank you as always for listening in.

Welcome to Gamepinions Episode 66: Metroid Dread, The Best Deal In Gaming!

In this episode, Jon and I ramble on about our feelings on the latest installment in the Metroid franchise. For Jon, the long wait is finally over, after waiting years for a sequel to Metroid Fusion. For me, this is closer to an introduction into the 2D Metroid series. How did each of us fare on our respective adventures? You will have to listen to find out.

Welcome to Gamepinions Episode 64: Nintendo Switch OLED Model. The Name Says It All!

In this episode I briefly go over who I think won E3 2021. I also go over Nintendo’s newest model in the Switch lineup: The OLED Model. While no matter what Nintendo did they were bound to face backlash of some sort, this newest upgrade is certainly a little confusing. TLDR: Everyone is upset and I am now upset in solidarity.

Welcome to Gamepinions Episode 63: Sony Doesn’t Know When PS5 Shortages Will End.

In this episode of Gamepinions, I talk about God of War: Ragnarok’s delay and the fact that the game is now also coming to PlayStation 4. This could all be due to Covid, and I completely trust Santa Monica’s decision to delay the game. However, I think there could be for a different reason for this big decision.
