Sacred Symbols, Episode 382 | I've Seen the Light and I'm Gaining in Height Now

With Xbox's famous ringworld officially arriving on PlayStation 5 in 2026, we can rest assured that Sony's longtime rival has finally conceded the console space for good. Halo: Campaign Evolved -- clever! -- is a ground-up remake of the smash-hit 2001 Xbox launch title, and it comes with some new bells and whistles, including fresh content and a four-player online-enabled campaign. Microsoft even trotted Halo's community manager out in a PlayStation shirt, promised all upcoming Halo content i...

Defining Duke, Episode 251 | Our Outer Worlds 2 Review Is HERE... - Did it Deliver?!

There's much to be said about how The Outer Worlds 2 was handled prior to its release. Everything from a lacking preview and Avowed's underwhelming launch to Xbox attempting to force a $80 price point put this game on the uphill climb. All of that is out the window now. Cog and Matty have it in hand and have logged their many hours! Is the Black Rock ready to deliver on the RPG pedigree that they're known for or are they best off focusing on their new strength in games like Grounded or Pentim...

Sacred Symbols+, Episode 482 | Lord Cognito's Japanese Pilgrimage

Please welcome Lord Cognito of Defining Duke and ILP fame to Sacred+. Recently, Cog traveled to Japan for nearly two weeks, and while it was actually his second trip to the country (he previously did a very brief media voyage there for Ninja Gaiden 4), it was the first one of any real substance. Now, every (especially old-school) gamer dreams of going to Japan; it's long been a rite of passage for enthusiasts from around the world. And now that Cog's spent some substantive time there, I (Coli...

Sacred Symbols, Episode 381 | Watch It Fly By As the Pendulum Swings

Time sure is moving, but has a sufficient amount of it passed for us to start considering the next generation of PlayStation console? According to two reliable leakers, the answer is yes: Sony is very much aiming to get PS6 out in 2027. This makes sense by historical standards -- seven years between consoles is fairly normal, if not even a little slow -- but it really doesn't feel like we need this thing. Or do we? By 2027, who knows what our ecosystem might look like. Let's discuss! Plus: Le...

Defining Duke, Episode 250 | Xbox's Next Gen Console LEAKED... (ft. Deck Ready)

Despite the ongoing hardware "crisis," plenty of next generation hardware news continues to leak out of Xbox. This time, we have Project Magnus courtesy of Moore's Law Is Dead! Set to release in 2027, this console will (as expected) feature some Windows elements and go head-to-head with the pre-built PC market. To help break all of this down, Jimmy Champane of Deck Ready is here. Beyond Project Magnus, we get into a newly released piece of Xbox hardware in the Xbox Ally. Is it worth your mone...
