I Love Being Humiliated By Elden Ring
I am not good at Souls games. I managed to stumble my way through Dark Souls 3, but anything that's a gentle stroll around the block for a series veteran is like climbing Everest for me. Still, I love them, and I couldn't resist punishing myself with Elden Ring—despite having increasingly diminished patience for games […]
Triangle Strategy is almost great — but it doesn’t trust the player
No stories are more powerful than the ones we tell ourselves. In some ways, Triangle Strategy embraces this idea. In others, it seems hopelessly oblivious.

Destiny 2: The Witch Queen finally fulfills the series’ dormant potential
Bungie’s sci-fi shooter series Destiny has always been good, but loving it hasn’t always been easy. The games have seen a lot of turbulence, with a rocky launch in 2014, a rocky sequel in 2017, and design hiccups throughout. There have also been glowing periods, but they’ve all been in service of fixing past mistakes, […]
Ice T Is Right, We Do Need To Reboot Def Jam
Ice T is a gamer. For years he has tweeted about his favourite titles, argued with toxic idiots online, and has even shown up in an E3 conference or two to spread the good word. He’s also an actor, musician and artist with a storied history in several pieces of media, and that includes Def […]
