Reaction PS Plus’ Revamp Is Hours Away, But Sony Still Has a Game Pass Problem
Xbox showcase leans heavily on day one inclusions
Microsoft did its big annual E3 shindig today. Of course, it’s not E3 because that’s in a graveyard somewhere being pointed at by industry know-it-all Jeff Grubb.

Eight minutes of gameplay footage
We're fans of Call of Duty, but this might be the most uninteresting walkthrough of a campaign mission the series has put out prior to launch yet.
