For the most part, gaming is about sharing experiences, whether you do so with the NPCs littered throughout your favorite adventure or the friends and loved ones in your life. But sometimes, a break from the norm can be a comfortable change of pace. Gaming is a very social activity, but sometimes...
All things come to an end. Even our universe will one day end when we cease expanding and entropy brings a heat death to a tired and ancient reality.
But until then we've got video games, right?
For some reason the internet is currently abuzz with tales of endings, and the quality of...
John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (try saying that five times fast) is in cinemas now. In addition, a video game is coming out, one that actually looks like it might be a good game based on a film. I know, hard to imagine.
But that's in the future. You want to feel like John Wick now, albeit...
Tolkien is back in the news, a new film is out that aims to show a bit of the early life of the venerated fantasy author.

It's had a mixed critical response, much like many games and films that have been based on J.R.R. Tolkien's works. We're...
Detective Pikachu is fast approaching its release date and the reviews have started dropping. Startlingly, it appears to be a pretty good film adaptation, and some are saying it's the best video game film ever made.

Dark Souls Remastered is a game with swords. But it's more than that, it's about a deep and rewarding combat system that rewards persistence paying attention to details, and a story that rewards much the same. Basically, it's Dark Souls. You know Dark Souls. Everyone knows Dark Souls, it's the...

There are more and more games appearing on Steam every single day, and that's great. More games means more people making games, more people playing games, and just more games out there. Not all are good certainly, but some will be breathtaking and with more games out there, the amount that are...
According to an opinion piece on The Guardian videogames have an ideology problem. They are recruiting grounds for far-right groups and are filled with themes which centre around xenophobia, racism, sexism, and worse.
Firstly lets get this out there: there is a notable toxicity issue around...
The time of the remake is here!
Secret of Mana has just been remade and launched onto PC, and last year we had the love-letter to Sonic's 16bit era with Sonic Mania. 16bit remakes are suddenly in, they're popular, and those games we loved in the late 80s and early 90s are ripe for a...
We've done 2008 and we've done 1998.
This is the last one (this year)
Here's ten games that came out in 1988 which frankly, most of you probably won't remember or have any emotional attachment to. Even I, aged as time itself, can barely remember some of these titles. Well, actually a couple I...
I am old.
Not, old old. But old enough. Old to remember no internet, to remember tape decks for my Commodore, to remember the Megadrive coming out, to remember Maggie Thatcher being in power.

I recently covered ten games that came out in...
