Twenty years after its release, the GBA classic Wario Land 4 remains a fascinating artifact. It’s not only an accomplished platformer that could rival any 2D Mario outing from the same era, but also a clear commitment to developing an aesthetic texture for Wario games that has informed many of Wario’s subsequent appearances.

It took me two years and 300 hours to beat Sekiro
I don’t consider myself a gamer — I’m just someone who quite likes playing video games. Apart from a Game Boy in the 1990s, the first console I owned was a Nintendo Switch that I bought in early 2018 to play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I finally got around to buying […]

If ever an article was going to get me obliterated by angry hooligans on the internet, it’s going to be this one. If you’re one of the few that didn’t black out with rage upon reading the title and are actually going to check out why I’m making this claim—thank you! Please don’t mistake this […]
Ten Years On, Game Of Thrones’ First Season Is Still The Gold Standard
I love lists. I love ranking my favourite games, albums, films, TV shows… you name it. Mass Effect 2, Red, Lost In Translation, and The Simpsons, for the record. Of all the pop culture things I’d consider to be in my ‘best of’ lists though, the one I struggle with the most is Game of […]
Ten Years Later, Dragon Age 2’s Isabela Is Still My Ultimate Crush
Video games have the ability to take us to outer space, to mountain tops, and into the deepest lakes – all while keeping us sat on our comfy little couch. They make us laugh, they make us cry, they make some of you wish vampire mommies and K-pop idols would murder you. I’m not sure […]
After Four Years I Am Finally Ready For A Switch Pro
I love my Nintendo Switch. Since the first day I booted up The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, I have been enamoured. I love the form factor, I love the accessories, I love the Pro Controller, and I love the games. Since launch I have taken the Nintendo Switch across the world with […]
Nintendo 3DS Turned Ten Years Old This Weekend
I know I must be old if, when I hear “Nintendo 3DS,” I’m still categorizing it as “newer tech” in my head, comparing it to the original Game Boy and Game Boy Color. Yet, the Nintendo 3DS was originally released on February 26, 2011, making it ten years old as of this weekend. It may […]
The 3DS Is Ten Years Old, And We Should All Miss It
It has been ten years since the launch of the Nintendo 3DS, and for a while I thought I wouldn’t mourn it, but it turns out I have. According to Nintendo’s website, the last first-party 3DS game released was Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn back in early 2019. It’s pretty safe to say that the 3DS […]
My 35 years of playing The Legend Of Zelda – Reader's Feature
A reader who was there from the beginning celebrates 35 years of Zelda and reveals how he and his friend pre-empted Breath Of The Wild 2. I consider myself lucky to have been able to experience pretty much the entire Legend Of Zelda series from the beginning. Whilst I wasn’t able to buy a SNES, […]
