Co-op game Haven understands life as a couple during Covid
The COVID-19 pandemic has stretched on for nearly two years. For some, its various stages of lockdown meant caring for children forced to do their schooling from home. For others, it meant looking after a parent or a sibling. Still, others stayed at home alone. For us, a childless couple in our late thirties, it […]
Dragon Age 4 Needs To Respect Our Awful Choices
It’s been seven years since Dragon Age: Inquisition launched (yes, really), and in that time, we’ve grown to know it like the back of our hands. We know the consequences of every decision we make. We know how to install the Divine who best aligns with our beliefs. We can probably all speed through the […]
Gran Turismo Sport (2017) Is My Favourite Game Of 2021
Gran Turismo Sport is a game that cost me only about £8, but I’ve spent more than a hundred hours in it, which would make it one of the best entertainment bargains ever. I’ve driven more than 14,000 miles, accumulated 232,000 mileage points, and earned over 44 million credits. Previously, I’d played the first Gran […]
What Christmas Present Do You Get For Non-Gamers? Seriously, I Have No Idea
Christmas has been the same for me pretty much every year of my life. My mum asks me what game or console is coming out, and then Santa gets it for me. Easy. Done. Sorted. The Christmases I’ve been in relationships have followed a similar pattern. Sure, there’s the odd little present on top – […]
Bart Simpson Is Wrong, Lee Carvalho’s Putting Challenge Is Better Than Bonestorm
Simpsons fans (and non-fans alike) will probably be familiar with episode 11, season 7. Non-nerds will know it as Marge Be Not Proud, while mega nerds will know it as Episode 3F07. Whatever you call it, it’s one of the best Simpsons Christmas episodes – and since The Simpsons is the best TV show ever, […]
Best Animation Of 2021: All The Shows, Films, And More You Need To Watch
It’s been a spectacular year for animation, and I’ve had so much fun losing myself in this industry and reporting on it over the past nine months. Whether I’m talking to the likes of Matt Braly on the creation of Amphibia, Ricky Cometa on the gorgeous art design of The Owl House, or Ashly Burch […]
Skyrim Is The Perfect Christmas Game
Skyrim has loads of snow. It’s filled with the white stuff, whether you’re cruising into humble villages or yeeting your horse up mountains in search of ancient ruins. It’s a game that gives off a wintery charm like few others in the medium, folding you into a warm blanket before unleashing you into the wilds […]
Your Sealed Pokemon Cards Will Be Worthless In 20 Years
A few days ago, Logan Paul spent another $3.5 million on sealed Pokemon cards. In February, he spent $2 million on first edition Base Set booster boxes which he auctioned and opened on stream. It was all a scam – he earned more in selling NFTs of himself than his initial outlay, and by my […]
No Game Deserves A Sequel More Than Alien: Isolation
It's been seven years since the launch of Alien: Isolation, and despite the best efforts of countless other horror developers, it's still the scariest video game ever made by quite a margin. But will there ever be a sequel? Technically the 2019 mobile game Alien: Blackout is a sequel, continuing Amanda Ripley's story. But I […]
