Few gaming franchises have had the staying power of Square's (and later Square Enix's) Final Fantasy. Launched in the waning weeks of 1987 in Japan, it took some two and a half years for the original title to migrate to western NES consoles, and while it sold fairly well, it still represented onl...

Welcome to another episode of Sacred Symbols x Defining Duke! Today, we dedicate some two-and-a-half hours to a detailed chronicling of our respective backlogs. Each of the five of us -- Colin, Dustin, Chris, Matty, and Cog -- selected five games that we really, truly, and even urgently feel we n...

If there was any moment to put their foot on Xbox's throat, this showcase felt like a most opportune time. PlayStation only comes out of hiding every so often meaning it stand to reason that you'd think they'd have plenty to show off. You see, Xbox and PlayStation aren't too different. The mid-ge...

We've waited so long for a fresh PlayStation Showcase that it came as a bit of a shock to be sitting there watching a new one. Yet we did just that, and frankly, we were left feeling a little bit underwhelmed. It's not to say that potentially-amazing games weren't shown-off, because they were. Ou...

A few weeks ago, Matty approached me (Colin) with a thought: What if we sat down and dished about our respective journeys into game development. I loved the idea, and so here we are! Now, it's important to note that our adventures are nascent; Matty's still working on his first game, while t...

Welcome back to Constellation! This time around, the Brothers Moriarty welcome executive producer Dustin Furman and Punching Up co-host Gene Park. Gene waxes poetic about his concert-going experiences, and inquires about which live acts are best (and worst). Dustin keeps the music theme goin...

We have long known about the Xbox x Nvidia deal, but a major first step has been taken. With the partnership in full motion now, the Dukes take some time to dive deep and eye down who Xbox's next target may be to help get the acquisition across the finish line!

What's a gaming event without predictions? It's the lifeblood of media, and thus Sacred+ always gets involved. The disappointing thing, however, is that we typically don't have very much to talk about in this regard. After all, PlayStation rarely speaks. But that's about to change for 65 minutes ...

Unbelievably, the moment has finally come: A PlayStation showcase draws near. By the time the hour-plus event concludes, it'll have been more than 600 days since the last showcase in '21. In other words, Sony simply has to bring the heat, and we suspect they will. This week, let's take the time t...

We're under a month away from Xbox's defining (!) showcase and PlayStation is officially set to strike first. In our last episode, we mulled over the pressure that Xbox faces as the morale is low for both fans and executives alike if Phil Spencer's recent interview was anything to go by. One aspe...
