4A Games has become a master of the quiet apocalypse since the launch of Metro 2033 way back in 2010. Each subsequent entry in the shooter series has built upon its own personal brand of darkness, helping expand a world laden with fascism, radiation, and a general sense of oppressive dread that never seems to […]
How Does Marvel’s Avengers Keep Dropping Ls?
Marvel’s Avengers just isn’t very good. It gave us all high expectations when it was revealed, but they slowly dwindled the more we saw about the game and heard about its live-service model. When it arrived, it still fell short of those much reduced expectations. That’s not the end of the world though – game […]
Can We All Leave Blue Box Studios And Abandoned Alone Now, Please?
The internet has lost every single marble in existence over the last couple of weeks due to speculation over whether or not Hideo Kojima secretly created an entire studio with multiple games under its belt just to take the piss out of everyone.

Pokemon Games Need To Learn From Pokemon Go’s Loading Screen

Mario Golf Super Rush really shines with its frantic arcade-style side games
We’ve had a series of Mario Golf games over the years on various Nintendo consoles but this is definitely one of the best. And it’s not so much the bog standard golf game that’s really shining here on the Switch machine. It’s the fun, arcade-style side games on Super Rush that really makes this title […]
Mario Golf: Super Rush Review – Sun’s Out, Tees Off
Pitching, Putters, Wedge, Lob, Duff… Golf, to me, could be an entirely alien language. I don’t know what a Birdie is – only Birdo – and the only time I’ve ever heard the words “Double Bogey” in person, I was prompted to wipe my nose. I’m not sporty and I don’t get golf, but somehow […]
HeroClix: X-Men Rise & Fall Preview: Super Rares And Cyclops Legacy Card
The battle for Marvel Comics supremacy continues with a new HeroClix set. WizKids is revisiting the mighty mutants for X-Men: Rise and Fall. It feels like it hasn’t been too long since we saw an X-Men HeroClix set–in fact the last one was House of X at the end of 2020. That was followed up […]
My Day As A Sniper Ghost Warrior Was Uncomfortable And Gross
There’s nothing media types like myself enjoy more than an in-person event. They’re always a great opportunity to learn more about upcoming games, chat with developers face-to-face, and catch up with other games journalists and content creators. A lot of gaming sites, TheGamer included, are decentralized, so the only opportunity I have to meet up […]
