Samuel Brace on bad movies on bad content… There has to be consequences for making a bad movie. There just has to. Consequences for bad movies, bad TV shows, bad video games, whatever. If a studio produces a movie, a bad one, one that is below a certain standard, a standard that we are not […]
Will PlayStation’s Bare Autumn Help Xbox Close The Gap?
Samuel Brace on whether PlayStation’s bare autumn could help Xbox to close the gap… PlayStation is winning. There is no doubt about it.
