I didn’t know that my PC was noisy. When you first get your new PC in and it’s clean, fans oiled, dust-free, it hums a bit and then fades into the background. Turn it on day after day, and although it’s a bit louder than it used to be, you never really notice it. Before […]
Sayonara Wild Hearts Review: Dream pop synesthesia in a portable package
Wild hearts never die! Developed by Simogo, the indie studio you can never quite pin down, their latest project is the neon euphoria-fest that is Sayonara Wild Hearts. A banger-laden album delivered through the medium of video games, Sayonara doesn’t hide its clever emotional narrative and let the music speak for itself, which really would […]
Fortnite: How to log out of Fortnite on Switch in Chapter 2?

Forget Tetris Make Up, Give Me Horizon Zero Dawn Make Up
Tetris is getting a new make up palette. That sounds absurd at first, like if you heard there were Halo-flavoured Pringles, or the Polish prime minister was being added to Tekken 7, or that Bryce Dallas Howard was directing the next Star Wars video game.

Most of my 250 hours spent playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons were logged during the first five weeks or so after it launched. Animal Crossing was part of my routine then.

Weathering With You Is A Big Disappointment And Could Have Been So Much More
Makoto Shinkai launched himself into the anime stratosphere with the release of Your Name in 2016, proving he can rightfully stand alongside legendary greats like Hayao Miyazaki, Mamoru Hosoda, Masaaki Yuasa, and the late, great Satoshi Kon. It was a profound romantic comedy that toyed with the concept of identity and anxieties of young people […]
Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl Need To Be Based On Platinum
I’ve been pining for Gen 4 remakes for years, so when I finally heard that Game Freak was hard at work on Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl I almost wet the bed with excitement. Despite the fact I’m not particularly enraptured by Gen 4’s roster of ‘mons, Sinnoh is undoubtedly one of the most […]
