This week’s episode of Save Room news is a hybrid one since we had so much to talk about. We’re calling this zany format Save Room News Plays Reviews—we’ll leave it up to the audience to see if it sticks. This week: Jeff Kaplan has abandoned the Overwatch payload and is leaving Blizzard; Josef Fares is pleased that It Takes Two has surpassed 1 million copies sold; and Sony has flip flopped on thei...

Episode 110: Why Is Sony Abandoning Their Own History? by The Save Room

Save Room Reviews is back! This week we watched Paul "Won't Stop" Anderson's latest cinematic video game adaptation, Monster Hunter, so you didn't have to. This is easily the strangest MonHun adaption we could've gotten, but credit to Paul--it kinda works. It's equal parts action movies, horror movie, and a buddy movie and we surprisingly didn't hate it. It even may be Paul's best movie since Even...

Save Room Plays is back! This week we're kicking back and talking DMC: Devil May Cry, The Pathless, Maquette, and Haven.

Save Room Plays: Game of the Year 2020 by The Save Room

Geoff said "the pandemic be damned, my World Premieres shall not be World Preempted" and made sure The Game Awards went on! Video games' longest and best commercial brought us tons of announcements, tons of award winners, and tons of licensed music to make streamers sweat DMCA bullets. There was so much show we had to call backup: special guest Nicholas Stinchcombe (of @MakeMonsters fame)! Prepare...

Save Room Plays: PlayStation 5 Deep-Dive by The Save Room

Save Room Reviews returns and this week we're reviewing our first next-gen game for the PS5: Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales. That's right, Jonah Jameson--the Spider-Man is back! Insomniac delivers on every front with this follow-up midquel, building on the foundation of what made 2018's Spider-Man amazing and trimming out the fat in favor of a leaner story for Miles and his cast of characters....

The dreaded DMCA has flooded Twitch with copyright notices hitting streamers small and large. As streaming continues to grow, will the archaic copyright laws of yesteryear evolve to keep up? No, of course not. Meanwhile, PS5 launch day woes, Mortal Kombat's movie reboot is delayed, and Ghost of Tsushima breaks records for first-party, original PS4 games.
