Big, open-world games that you can sink hundreds of hours into can often feel like the best bang for your buck. But, as someone who likes to play as many video games as possible, and who also doesn’t have as much free time as they did when they were a teenager, I’m really enjoying shorter games. […]
We Need A New Pokemon Colosseum ASAP
Everyone has their favourite Pokemon spinoff game. For some, it’s Mystery Dungeon, others prefer Snap, Stadium, or PokePark. They are all, however, wrong. Pokemon Colosseum is the best spinoff title in Pokemon history, and I really hope another one gets made. I don’t mean a remake or a remaster – though I would also welcome […]
I Can’t Wait To Have Another Drink With Mass Effect’s Dr Chakwas
There are lots of moments I’m looking forward to revisiting in the upcoming Mass Effect remaster. The suicide mission, the Citadel DLC, Tali’s loyalty mission, Virmire… pretty much every moment, to be honest. I’ve replayed the trilogy multiple times, but not for years, so I’m sure there’s a lot of stuff I will have forgotten. […]
Screw Goku Day, Where’s Vegeta Day?
Dragon Ball fans rejoice because May 9 means that it’s officially Goku Day! That means it’s time to celebrate Dragon Ball’s strongest fighter, best father and the character who’s had the biggest arc since the series began. Wait… you meant Vegeta day right? That’s right I said it, Vegeta is the Dragon Ball character most […]
Resident Evil Village Has An Accessibility Problem
My excitement when booting up Resident Evil Village was palpable. It was one of my most anticipated games of 2021 as I’m sure it was for many of you reading this. But it had a glaring problem right off the bat that left a sour aftertaste in my mouth that, even a couple of hours […]
Were Older Games Better Or Is Nostalgia Just That Strong?
I’ve commonly heard people make the claim that older games are just better all-around than newer games. Obviously, we are setting graphics aside, so they’ll tend to argue that older games had better strategic implementation, better character development, and more. I’ve written previously on how retro games are popular due to more than just nostalgia—the video […]
New Pokemon Snap’s Todd Snap Might Be The Worst Photographer Of All Time
Todd Snap, the hero… well, let’s go with ‘protagonist’ of the original Pokemon Snap is back for New Pokemon Snap, and the game seems to think this is a big deal. Of the millions of people playing New Pokemon Snap, roughly seven of them agree that ‘sure, I guess it’s interesting’. Part of the problem […]
Debbie Grayson Is The True Hero Of Invincible
Invincible is a show about superheroes, so as you might expect, there are a lot of superheroes involved. Mark Grayson is the titular superhero, while his father is Omni-Man and his friend at school is Atom Eve. On top of these, there are the Guardians (think Justice League/Avengers types), who are murdered by Omni-Man in […]
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Looks Like It’s Testing The Waters For A Dual Protagonist System In Spider-Man 2
Insomniac’s been gearing up for the June release of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, unveiling neat new gameplay gimmicks, the name of the illustrious Lombax, and the bustling metropolises of its interdimensional worlds. A lot’s on show, and it’s evident that the team has learned in abundance from its time on Spider-Man, but it looks as […]
The Best Thing About Lady Dimitrescu Is We’re All In On The Joke
This weekend, many of us will meet the already iconic Lady Dimitrescu for the first time. Or, as many of us know her, the Big Vampire Lady. I haven’t played Resident Evil Village yet, so I’ve no idea how much of the game she’s in, whether she’ll live up to the hype, or whether she’s […]
