Boy, the early 2000s were great. Classics like Cradle 2 The Grave and State Property 2 were in theaters. Jay Z gave us The Blueprint, while DMX taught us how to Party Up.

The Future is Full of Star Wars Games! Jedi Fallen Order 2, Star Wars: Hunters, and the KOTOR remake are just three of the many games in development.

Xplay has teamed up with Gerrard The Speculationist to get the facts, rumors, and predictions for the upcoming unreleased library of Star Wars games.

Star Wars Obi-Wan (2001) for the original Xbox, isn't backwards compatible or available digitally anywhere.

The roleplaying game 'Vampire: The Masquerade' has sired video-games before, like 2004's cult classic action RPG 'Bloodlines,' but Big Bad Wolf's 'Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong,' is a totally different beast.

Give this a watch to be debriefed before your mission to play begins!

The Mario Strikers games combine classic football mechanics with colorful Mario shenanigans, and Jirard could not be more hyped for the latest in the series, Mario Strikers: Battle League. But through the course of his review, he will also realize that there's a great threat to his beloved Luigi, a nefarious producer so determined to continue roasting that whiny green loser, that he's even inserted more Luigi insults into the title and description of this video. It all leads to a heart-stopping showdown for Luigi's honor, from which there is no escape. Okay, fine, heart-stopping might be overselling it a bit. But still.
