This Year is Insane For Games!

ds

After The Game Awards, I needed a breather. It took my breath away just how ‘good’ we have it in 2025. Not only do we have GTA coming back for the first time in two generations. We have a Mafia in the same year, potentially a new Borderlands, and to be honest, we haven’t even mentioned what PlayStation and Xbox have. Nor have we mentioned how secretive Nintendo is being with the Switch 2 and the launch titles for that.

Could this be the biggest year in gaming potentially? We’re now at the halfway point in the generation of these consoles, and we’re going into a new generation of Nintendo. From my decades of playing video games and following news. I can tell you quite comfortably that we’re reaching the point where this generation is going to finally arrive on all fronts. I can also say that this generation will go into the next one. Just as the PS4 has gone into the PS5. The difference is going to be just how capable the hardware is going to be to power some of these games and the reason to upgrade to play them.

For most of the hardcore who want the best experience, it’s always going to be on the card that they upgrade. It’s also going to be about how they can keep the trend of exciting games coming to us to give us a reason to. This year is insane for games, and we’re in January and still have more to see that we haven’t gotten a glimpse of yet.

The Game Awards really was a great show and had some good reveals. If you would like to know which ones I enjoyed. You can check out the YouTube on the homepage. All in all, great stuff.
