Xbox is flailing again. Major studio closures loom, the AI boom continues to erode the affordability of console hardware components, no one seems to want those consoles anyway and, according to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella—a fierce advocate of the AI industry crippling the rest of consumer tech—the corp isn’t making enough money from its first-party…
Here’s what the critics had to say. Square Enix’s new HD-2D title The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is finally out this week and after multiple demos and even surveys, the reviews are now available.
