Carl Williams writes, "It is no secret that Microsoft is kind of taking a beating with the Xbox One versus the Playstation 4 right now. While there are many possible reasons for this, I like to think it is a case of lack of retro content available for the platform- Sony has their whole PSOne Classics catalog of titles that have been released on PSN over the years to fall back on here, Microsoft not so much. Instead, Microsoft has to rely more on neo retro releases to grab the nostalgic section of the gaming populace. Volgarr the Viking is one such title that could go a long way with the readers here at Retro Gaming Magazine, if marketed right."

"This week I decided that the black back of my urban camo PS4 controller would look better on the white. After watching a couple other youtube video's I decided to jump right in. This video will show what to do, and what not to do when swapping out your controller housing. If done correctly you can do this in under ten minutes. Enjoy the results, and probably more, the mishaps." - Mike at Retro Game Fix

Hey Poor Player's Alex Lupella writes- After playing about five minutes of Blood I was transported back to a time and place some of you may not remember. It was called the mid-90s, and despite being very young, that didnt stop older kids from giving me copies of Doom and the sequel. I would play these games for hours, but the one thing I dont think about when reminiscing is how damn hard these games were. Fact is, I probably used cheat codes.

Wes from Controller Crusade writes "You wake up in your crashed jeep with an obnoxious headache on the side of the road. Instinctively you look over to the passenger side of where your daughter had been moments ago and find her missing; you notice the car door opened, as if she had lead herself out. You quickly stumble out and begin your search, only to find your surroundings unnaturally covered in a thick fog, with snow strangely falling out of season; as you venture forward you make out houses, sidewalks and trees. Its a town. You remark how unnaturally quiet it is, then continue on, lead by what appears to be your daughter wandering ahead in the distance. She leads you to an alley where you find blood and entrails strewn all over the place; things unnaturally get dark; you light a match and continue further into this apparent labyrinth of conjoined alleys."

TouchArcade: This week was really heavy on the game chat, which I always think is a good thing. Jared and I were both obsessed with different games, with me being totally about Retry and he was all about the various sports games of the week. Mike Meade was awoken from his slumber moments before recording, so I think he slept through most of it. You could argue this is both good and bad.
