You Can’t Convince Me That I Need To Buy A Switch Pro
I found my Switch yesterday, buried under a pile of clothes on a chair that hasn’t been sat on since we were allowed to walk around without a mask. The Switch hasn’t been there that long, mind – I put around 100 hours into New Pokemon Snap back in April, although I don’t think I’ve played […]

Despite debuting way back at the 2017 Game Awards as a Switch exclusive title, the game has been radio silent in the years since with the only updates coming in the form of vague reassurances that it’s […]
Why I left GeForce Now for a dusty PlayStation 4
As I sprinted, dodged, slid forward and raised the scope of my trusty sniper rifle during a frantic Destiny 2 Nightfall, something felt off. My timing was a mess.
