When people think about the perfect Judge Dredd game, their brains often jump to Grand Theft Auto: an entire open-world explorable on your Lawmaster, a hi-tech motorbike fitted with machine guns, AI, and gas grenades. As Dredd, you drive around Mega-City One, a dense metropolis filled with Mega-Block skyscrapers and surrounded by irradiated desert, acting […]
Traffic Jams Run Amok on Oculus Quest & PC VR in April
One of the quirkier looking virtual reality (VR) videogames expected this year is Little Chicken Game Company’s (REKT!, Track Labs) Traffic Jams. Today, publisher Vertigo Games has announced that the multiplatform title now has a release date set for early April. Traffic Jams is certainly one of the more unusual VR ideas to crop up […]
Everything You Need To Know About Magic: Legends Before The Open Beta
The Magic: Legends open beta is right around the corner, and if you haven’t been keeping up with Cryptic Studios’ newest action RPG, you might have a few questions about what to expect next week when the game becomes available to all players for the first time. Last week, I got to spend an hour […]
Someone Needs To Make A Fight Club In Valheim
Jab, jab, uppercut, bang! He’s soaring into the stratosphere. Valheim doesn’t really allow you to wallop lads up into space, but the boxing still feels surprisingly good. I mean, the first thing you need to do when you boot up a server is punch the life out of some trees, the most nefarious enemies in […]
I Still Want A Game The Delivers What Ghost Of Tsushima Promised
Ghost of Tsushima is a decent game. It looks spectacular, it has rewarding combat that’s as simple or as complex as you want it to be, and it has that ‘just one more thing’ factor that pushed me towards the Platinum long after my interest had faded. However, it also features a bland protagonist, swirls […]

Why Can’t Blizzard Figure Out Its Esports Scene?
News that Activision Blizzard chopped its esports division by 50 employees recently is unfortunate, but at the same time, unsurprising and yet another sign that the company has again failed to understand the esports market. Reports indicate that the move mostly affects both the Overwatch and Call of Duty Leagues, but the past few years […]
Inside the Neopets ‘black market’
The Neopets “black market” is not a scary place — there are no poorly lit alleyways to walk through, no strangers shrouded in dark clothing. In fact, the black market looks a lot like the other parts of the community; players on forums and Discord servers who are passionate about the mostly broken Neopets website. […]
Red Dead Redemption Solves The Problem Of How To End An Open World Game
I realise you’ve probably just read that headline and your first reaction is to make a joke about how Red Dead Redemption 2 doesn’t end. I get you, it’s quite long. I think it earns that slow burn. But that’s now what I’m here to discuss. I’m here to talk about spoilers. Namely, death. It’s […]
Celeste Reminds Me Of How Mean I Was Before I Transitioned
Celeste has always been a tough game for me, and not just because of its difficulty spike. I played Celeste around its release in 2018, and that was back before I worked in games. I still loved video games, but I wasn’t involved in all of the daily cut-and-thrust of video game discourse, I didn’t […]
