I didn’t get to see Spider-Man: No Way Home until Saturday afternoon, and by that time it felt like the whole world had already watched it. My Twitter timeline and TikTok For You Page was overrun with people sobbing uncontrollably and declaring No Way Home as the greatest Marvel movie ever made. One popular Marvel […]

We’re getting to the end of the year, so you know what to expect. You’re (hopefully) reading our Game of the Year lists and (definitely) agreeing with my picks, while preparing for a holiday season filled with family arguments and backlog cleansing. Many people will be reflecting on their years and working out exactly what […]

Spider-Man had a big 2021, and already has plans for a big 2022 and 2023. Between Spider-Man: No Way Home, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Part One, spinoffs like Venom: Let There Be Carnage and Morbius, it’s a good time to be a web-head movie fan. But what about video games? With Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 coming […]

It's been eight years since GTA Online first launched, and in that time Rockstar has updated the game with missile-firing hover-bikes, stunt races, a flying car based on Back to the Future's DeLorean, an entire tropical island, and even a guest appearance by rap legend Dr. Dre.

Players are knee-deep in the Halo trenches with their banshees and energy swords, exploring the vast tundras of the Array while skewering randoms online. What year are we in again? It feels like the early 2000s, but I promise it’s 2021 – time just flows differently lately. Speaking of time… Halo Speedrunner Beats Campaign In […]

Firewatch’s opening still ruins me. It encapsulates a palette of emotions in a matter of minutes that few games manage to achieve in their entirety. Campo Santo warms your heart, caresses it, then tears it from your chest without hesitation. Henry’s predicament is achingly true to life, a man who finds himself faced with a […]

When you think about influential space RPGs, Elite is probably the game that springs to mind. But 1986's Starflight made just as much of an impact, even if it didn't become a household name. Published by EA and developed by Binary Systems, a tiny five-person development team based in California, it took three years to […]

Bigscreen may have expanded its focus from a remote desktop app for virtual reality (VR) headsets to a social platform where you can watch movies and TV shows but it hasn’t forgotten where it came from.
