  • Why Isn’t There More Hype For Gollum?

    Why Isn’t There More Hype For Gollum?

    Lets start with a question. Did you know that the new Gollum game is releasing on September first? No? Neither did I until the other day when I randomly came across it. This realization got me thinking. Why hasn’t this game been talked about more? Its coming out in three months, and very little has…

  • Psychonauts 2: A Beautiful Battling Backpack Through Bombastic Brains

    Psychonauts 2: A Beautiful Battling Backpack Through Bombastic Brains

    Today we are looking at the sublime and beautiful Psychonauts 2. The brainchild of Tim Schafer and Double Fine, Psychonauts 2 is a game that…well lets not beat around the bush, a game that we have all been waiting for, for 16 years. And thankfully it has not been a disappointment. Everything about the gameplay…

  • Assassin’s Creed: An Identity Lost

    Assassin’s Creed: An Identity Lost

    I’m going to start this by putting my cards on the table, I have been a huge Assassin’s Creed fan for years. This may not end up being relevant, however I felt it was important to make that clear so any bias’s would be accounted for. So, what made me want to write this article…

  • Spider-Man: Miles Morales – A Tightly Crafted And Touching Story

    Spider-Man: Miles Morales – A Tightly Crafted And Touching Story

    Lets not beat around the bush, I think the main question people are asking about Spider-Man: Miles Morales is, does it stand up alongside the first game? To that I say absolutely and then some! Spider-Man: Miles Morales is, in every way, a game that shines off the back of its predecessors’ accomplishments, while also…

  • How Nintendo Perfects Announcement Events

    How Nintendo Perfects Announcement Events

    For those unaware, Nintendo recently presented one of their Indie World Showcases, and it was really well organized. Watching though the showcase, it was refreshing to see a game announcement event that cut away the fat, instead focusing purely on the games, without any of the usual game event fluff. And then it struck me.…

  • A Plague Tale Innocence: A Tale Of Love In War

    A Plague Tale Innocence: A Tale Of Love In War

    A Plague Tale Innocence is a deeply morbid story, concerning familial love in a time of war and disease, and how there is no chance for innocence in war. The story of A Plague Tale Innocence concerns Amecia, a young noble woman in medieval France, and her sickly little brother Hugo, who seems to have…

  • Is Naughty Dogs Focus on Uncharted And The Last Of Us Detrimental To Their Potential Future Games?

    Is Naughty Dogs Focus on Uncharted And The Last Of Us Detrimental To Their Potential Future Games?

    In recent years, we have seen a clear increase in Naughty Dogs focus on a couple of very limited franchises. With a remaster of the Uncharted trilogy, and later, remasters of both Uncharted 4 and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, packaged together as the Legacy of Thieves collection (Which was also the first time we saw…

  • Final Fantasy 7 – Intermission: A Beautiful Addition To A Wonderful Game

    Final Fantasy 7 – Intermission: A Beautiful Addition To A Wonderful Game

    The Final Fantasy Intermission DLC is, in the simplest terms, just totally fantastic. In fact I felt truly lucky to say that I have a ps5, which allowed me to play it, given it has been released exclusively for that system.  (Something I don’t really agree with but I suppose was bound to happen in…

  • Sekiro: From Software’s Beautiful Ode To Feudal Japan

    Sekiro: From Software’s Beautiful Ode To Feudal Japan

    Sekiro is, in the simplest way, just totally brilliant. I don’t say this lightly, but Sekiro is currently in fierce battle within my mind against Bloodborne for which gets to be my favorite From Software game, and oh boy is it close. Speaking of Bloodborne, if you liked the concept of quick dodges, aggressive parrying,…

  • Ratchet And Clank (2016): An Interesting Remake Of An Undeniable Classic

    Ratchet And Clank (2016):  An Interesting Remake Of An Undeniable Classic

    Now I will be honest, this was a game that I may never have played, had it not been given away for free, but I am very glad that I did. Designed as a mixture between a tie in for the Ratchet And Clank movie and a remake of the original Ratchet And Clank game,…
