The earnings announcement from Microsoft last week almost sounded like something from another era: solid revenue and profit growth thanks to strong sales of the Windows operating systems and the venerable Office applications. Online, well, that's still losing a ton of money. Games and entertainment? Better, but still a blip next to PC business.
Indeed, the personal computer business as a whole is showing a lot of strength, with industry analysts citing strong markets in Asia and an upgrade cycle in the corporate market, aka "the enterprise." Cool new consumer technologies tend to grab the headlines, but it's corporate buyers that still power most computer hardware and software firms.
Games Asylum: "Well, this is neat. As the name suggests, Wrath of the Mutants is the rarest of things – a genuine arcade conversion. With most modern arcade games being ticket redemption machines, this is something seldom seen. In fact, the last arcade conversion we can recall was Raw Thrill’s own Cruis’n’ Blast on Switch back in 2021. This is also based on an older iteration of TMNT, harking back to the series from 2012-2017. It’s essentially breaking franchise continuity (we’ve had two different iterations of the Turtles since) and could even be considered nostalgic for a select few – those who grew up with 2012’s Turtles are probably in their late teens."

It must be frustrating for these devs to see Helldivers 2 absolutely devour their lunch lol
-Oh my God, this game looks like a complete rip-off of Helldivers II!
-At least it gives Xbox players the chance to experience something similar to the PlayStation game!
Jokes aside it does make you wonder why Sony, who owns the IP for both, is continuing with two products when there is such overlap. Should it one day make a new Starship Troopers film or a Helldivers film instead?
Nice to have some thing else around here other than spam.
Bubble for you sir.
Bloodmask = bad news(or rumors, or blog analysts...same bs)for sony/ good for microsoft :)
