My Favorite PS4 Games (2019)

The Sony PlayStation 4 is an incredible console, and possibly even Sony’s greatest achievement to date (at least until the PlayStation 5 arrives). To make the most of it though, you need a library filled with the best PS4 games. To that end, the TechRadar team and I have put together a complete guide to the best games on…

My Favorite Xbox One Games (2019)

While Sony fanboys will say that Microsoft doesn’t have any good Xbox One exclusives, they’re dead wrong – ask anyone with an Xbox, and they’ll be rattle off half a dozen games well worth your time. But to further dispel the myth that there’s nothing to play on the Xbox One, Xbox One S and Xbox One X,…

Instead of taking the easy way out and flying there like…

Interview: Coffee with a Journalist

I’ve had the great pleasure of talking shop with industry luminaries like Microsoft’s Mike Ybarra about VR on Xbox One X, Sony President COO Mike Fasulo about HDR support and musician/producer Wyclef Jean about the future of audio. Rarely am I the subject of…
