Here's Who We Want To See Replace The X-Men In Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite
Last December's end-of-year announcement that Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite was on its way came as delightful surprise to many of us. Revealed at the PlayStation Experience, the first images and gameplay footage were shown to those lucky few in attendance. Along with the announcement, it was revealed that the X-Men would be excluded from the game altogether. That information wasn't received quite as well as news of the impending release, but producers of the game assured audiences that replacements for the #Xmen would indeed satisfy our appetites.

GameStop's Store Closings Could Impact the Gaming Industry in a Bad Way
If you were to ask someone about the news relating to GameStop closing stores, you'd probably hear them give off a soft laugh or even a snarky remark. It's not uncommon for shoppers to feel that way since GameStop has probably burn them in the past. It's not because GameStop itself is a bad company, but their tactics in trades, sales, and used game pricing is painfully hard to deal with. The downside is evident as the company is feeling the hard blows of this as GameStop prepares to shut down roughly 2% to 3% of all their stores.

Is This What The Future Holds For Gaming Consoles?
If you've been around for more than 10 years, the evolution of the game console isn't anything new. We're so accustomed to it that it's just another part of life and we realize that our once prized possession of a console will inevitably become obsolete. It's a sad truth, but one that we all know too well, yet that doesn't stop us from purchasing the latest and greatest consoles. I can say that over the years I've owned quite a few of the, at the time, latest consoles and I've never been 'brand-locked' like some players. I've owned systems from Nintendo, Microsoft, Sega and Sony, I even did a flashback in my mid-teens when I found an Atari for sale from an old lady who was getting rid of "all her deatbeat son's shit", her words NOT mine.

Gaming Rivalries: Battle Of The Brands
The gaming world is a dog-eat-dog arena where only the strong survive. That might seem a little harsh, considering the fact that for the most part we have several viable consoles on the market right now and that doesn't look to change any time soon. Yet, that wasn't always the case; there was a time, several as a matter of fact, when it seemed as though you might find a studio executive suddenly vanished without a trace and everyone pointing in every possible direction.

The Evolution Of Console Gaming: 50 Years In The Making
Console gaming has never been an industry to stay stagnant over the nearly 50 years that television gaming has been available. Console gaming, as it's commonly called, has been going through a process of trial, change and evolution, both in content and hardware. Now, if you got stuck at the first statement that console gaming on a television screen has been around for nearly 50 years, then I'm betting you're either are a new gamer, or you're probably under the age of 20 and haven't had much exposure to some of the truly historical consoles.
