The E3 2021 Nintendo Direct has finally been confirmed, promising 40 minutes of news and announcements for all of the latest games coming to Nintendo Switch. It’s the longest presentation Nintendo has done in forever, so fans are already speculating on what exactly the showcase will bring to the table. Like many others, my thoughts […]
The best tabletop role-playing games are sold online, but not through Amazon
Dungeons & Dragons has long been the standard for tabletop roleplaying with your friends. But, as another epic campaign comes to a close, one of your friends will inevitably say: “What about something different this time?” Sure, you could play medieval fantasy forever, but there are many other genres and systems to explore. These days […]
The future of recruiting: How a central talent ecosystem can elevate an organization’s recruiting database
Presented by Hiretual Recruiting today isn’t as simple as submitting an application and having it reviewed by a recruiter. AI and big data technology are shifting traditional recruitment practices by uniting and standardizing data from independent — and often siloed — recruitment software to create digital talent ecosystems. A Hiretual survey of 700 talent acquisition […]
Pokemon Let’s Go Is The Series’ Best Game In Over Ten Years
I can already hear the barks of dissent from people all over the world. “Let’s Go is rubbish!” they chant. “More like Pokemon for kids!” In case any of you missed the memo, Pokemon is, in fact, a series for kids. We all started playing as young ‘uns. Magical little monsters who shoot thunderbolts out […]
The Next Saints Row Needs To Take More Inspiration From Saints Row 2
With Koch Media hosting their own live stream for Summer Game Fest, I can’t help thinking about one thing – Saints Row.

The Complaints About Aloy’s Look Highlight The Hypocrisy Around Realism
Over the last weekend, you might have seen a viral tweet complaining about how Aloy looks in Horizon Forbidden West.

Basically, the tweet stated that Aloy looks bad in the gameplay footage we’ve seen, and if she looked more […]
Exidy: The Most Crucial Studio In Gaming History You’ve Never Heard Of
Metroid is often touted as a revolutionary title, one that championed female representation by putting players into the boots and mech suit of Samus. This is absolutely true, and by no means do I intend to discredit its incredible legacy. For once, women were at the centre as heroes rather than damsels in distress. However, […]
Cruella Has The Stupidest Opening I’ve Ever Seen, But It Works
Cruella, as a concept, is a movie begging to be memed. We’re all a little tired of origin stories by this point, especially when they’re being given to characters that nobody has ever wondered about the backstory of. Ratched, the story of Nurse Ratched from One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, is the latest example […]
Exploring The Normandy Crash Site Is Still One Of Mass Effect 2’s Best Missions
Mass Effect 2 is a game that revolves around changes of pace. Most of the levels are fairly similar in design and scope – you land on a planet, go through 20-30 minutes’ worth of combat, and earn a story beat tied to squadmate acquisition, loyalty, or the encroaching Reaper threat. In between these slices […]
