For years the narrative has been the same. “Nintendo is out of touch with its fanbase.” “Nintendo has lost me.” “They care too much about the casual gamer.” “They have no 3rd party support.” The list goes on and on. But this morning, Nintendo proved that it knows exactly what it is doing, and despite recent failures, has built a system that is a perfect fit for the 21st century audience.
Say hello to the Nintendo Switch.

The fall has always been the busiest part of the gaming year. The end of September sees the beginning of a yearly onslaught of games that puts constraints on every wallet and day planner in the industry. For the players, the fall was the beginning of the arduous wait until our Holiday wishes were made reality. Black Friday was the date that put a hard cap on the season and virtually guaranteed increased success for an individual game or publisher.
And it is in the process of losing its relevance.

Kicking off the New York Comic Con 2016 adventures, I found myself immediately drawn into Man In The High Castle Virtual Reality Experience. Since seeing the pilot episode and subsequent first season, I was hungry for more of this dystopian world. But did this VR adventure fill me up until Season 2’s premiere in December?

October is here and the holiday most associated with the month is of course Halloween. Tough luck Columbus Day. It’s a month where people look forward to being scared. Whether it be at a cineplex or a haunted house, October for many comes with thrills and chills. Yet, no game company wants to look at its receipts or reputation and find something horrific looking back. Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft would much prefer the treat over the trick to the classic Halloween slogan. But let’s take a moment to imagine a scary October scenario for each company and its fans.

Having never played any numbered Final Fantasy game in over 15 years (yes I’m old), I was curious by the new world created with Final Fantasy XV. The delays, hyper negative pre-critiques, and overall sourness towards this game never bothered me. Sure, it looked cool and promised an incredible experience, but would that be enough to hook me and others towards its release? Sadly, this demo did not leave me with that feeling.
The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One has been home to some bad games, some downright broken ones, and more remasters than you’ll ever know what to do with. It also has been home to many great games. This list is for those games. A scientific, inarguable top ten list brought to you by Middle of Nowhere Gaming’s Tyler Fischer and Chris Cobb. These aren’t the “best games” they’re our favorite ones — but the list still remains irrefutable. Continue reading Top 10 PS4 & Xbox One Games
As we prepare to enter into the last few months of 2016 and the big holiday rush of game releases, let’s take a moment to look back at some quality titles from earlier in the year. Great games can be found throughout the year, even though some big releases like the latest Call of Duty always close out the calendar. Gaming can also be an expensive hobby, with the standard new retail release running $60 a pop. With that in mind, here are three quality PlayStation 4 exclusive titles released this year that can be purchased for half that price, or even less.
