Having the latest technology is a real treat. I remember when I loaded up Spider-Man: Miles Morales for the first time on my PlayStation 5, and saw the upgrades over the base PS4 immediately. I also got a new TV at the same time, which doubled the impact of Miles’ webslinging antics. But enough bragging, […]

It’s hard to believe it’s been 2 years since The Owl House first premiered on Disney Channel. The pandemic has morphed the passage of time into a singular mass of anxious trauma that we’re all just basking in for eternity – but at least we got some cute cartoons out of it. Dana Terrace crafted […]

Content is king. That much has become clear in games as live-services become increasingly commonplace and our focus shifts to whatever offers the most value as opposed to any real artistic merit. Assassin’s Creed, Destiny, Fortnite, Ghost Recon Breakpoint, Red Dead Online, and so many other titles are now designed with player retention at the […]

In the late '90s and early 2000s, the WWE peaked with the Attitude Era. This shift to an edgier, more adult form of sports entertainment was defined by its violent Hardcore matches, profanity-laden promos, nu metal entrance themes, and jorts. So many jorts. A lot of it is embarrassing in hindsight, whether it's Big Boss […]

BioShock is one of my favourite games ever. I definitely wasn’t old enough to play it when it first released in 2007, but the impact it had on this young little gamer cannot be understated. The underwater city of Rapture and its innovative approach to nuanced political themes was so ahead of its time, so […]

Some Pokemon are scary. Banette is a creepy voodoo doll, while Arceus is an angel of biblical proportions. Have you ever stared into Gigantamax Gengar’s gaping maw and seen the abyss stare back at you? Even cute little Drifloon steals children for fun! But despite Kaiju-Tentacruel in the anime and a proliferation of weird Ghost-types […]

Pokemon Legends: Arceus is set to launch this month, with Pokemon starting 2022 off with a bold statement of intent. Hopefully the following months feature a couple of great spin-offs, an explanation of whatever Pokemon Sleep is, and maybe, just maybe, we kick off Gen 9. It feels, especially from the leaks, like Legends: Arceus […]

This free-to-play Xbox Game Pass title can basically be boiled down to you controlling a hoover and cleaning up a dirty planet. And while that may sound unappealing in its description, the resulting game based around that chore mechanic is rewarding and fun. The Gunk is a new title by the creators of the popular […]

We’ve all seen that Walmart metaverse video by now. It doesn’t matter that it’s an old concept that someone has tweeted out branding it as a new idea, and it doesn’t matter that everyone is comparing it to Second Life. Honestly, I don’t see what’s so bad about it – I’d enjoy spicing up my […]

Playing the ranked mode in Pokemon Unite fills me with tremendous rage. The matchmaking is a disaster, the rewards are pathetic, the character balance is nonsensical, everyone is stealing my jungle and my laners will not stop inting. There’s a million problems with Unite right now and many of them don’t have easy solutions. That […]
