Another month, another disappointing Community Day. This week, Niantic announced Community Day Classic, a bonus community day that features the one and only #001, Bulbasaur. As much as I love my little onion boy, who exactly is this for? Bulbasaur and its shiny variant have been featured countless times over the years, and I can't […]

We have no shortage of mods to get through this week. For once, we have no Skyrim, allowing us to shine a light on games we don’t often get to cover in these roundups, such as Resident Evil and Super Smash Bros. Final Fantasy 7 Remake also continues to make headlines, with fans coming up […]

Super Mario Sunshine isn’t a good game. I apologise to the nostalgia I’ve just hurled into a bonfire and the childhoods I’ve ruined by declaring such an obvious fact, but it’s an obtusely designed, inconsistent, and frustrating chapter in the plumber’s legacy, and one I despise and admire in almost equal measure. After Super Mario […]

CES 2022 was feeling a bit muted when it came to virtual reality (VR) announcements. That was until Sony held its press event which quickly drew a lot of interest thanks to its mention of PlayStation VR2. Alongside the official name reveal as well as the specs, one videogame was also mentioned, Horizon Call of […]

PlayStation VR was a bit of a mess. Sony’s first foray into the world of virtual reality was filled with ambitious games that pushed boundaries, but so much of the experience felt compromised by technical limitations and way, way too many wires that donning its debut headset never felt convenient. Being able to escape into […]

A gritty standoff in a trench. You hear a scream as a soldier charges past you with a massive explosive stick. Another carries a katana. Smoke pours into the trench. There’s the faint rumble of a tank in the distance, the put-put-put of a plane overhead. Your squad is pinned down, but you’re capturing the […]

In case you haven’t logged into Apex Legends for a few weeks, the game is a bit of a mess. Not only has Winter Express – the game’s best LTM – disappeared for another year or more, but cheaters are exploiting bugs everywhere you look. Apex Legends has been a hotbed for cheats and hacks […]

We all know Ken Levine, right? BioShock creator, and now alleged terrible boss, Levine represents one of the biggest problems in our industry. When you think of BioShock, you think Ken Levine. When you think The Last of Us, you think Neil Druckmann. God of War? David Jaffe, or if you're new to the series, […]

Apex Legends has an incredibly strong story and lore element when compared with other battle royale or competitive shooter games. Sure, there’s a wild multiverse connecting every Zombies map (I think there are dragons and/or nukes involved) and Rainbow 6 Siege gives each Operator a fair backstory, but none come close to Respawn’s Titanfall successor. […]

Mark Zuckerberg has a lofty vision of the metaverse: an interconnected and persistently online digital space where people can hang out and play games together, and which he deems as the “successor to mobile internet”, encompassing an “embodied internet” that is big on virtual social presence. So big, in fact, that virtual sexual harrassment is […]
