Opinion: Nintendo 35th Anniversaries
The cynic in me knows that 31st March 2021 marks the end of a financial year for Nintendo, so them ending production and even digital availability of their 35th Anniversary […]
Feature: Thoughts on Video Game Maps and Worlds
Can you remember the first time you saw an in game map that truly gave you a sense of wonder and the feeling that there was a whole world out […]
My Favourite Video Game of 2020
I picked up my Xbox One X in late 2019, having sat out Microsoft’s console for much of the generation thanks to its absolutely disastrous launch reveal and all of […]
Post 600
Well, this feels like quite a milestone. Since starting the blog in 2019, I’ve been able to maintain a daily schedule of posting at least one article a day – […]
Opinion: Next Gen – Again
I know I’ve written about this before, but something weird has happened not just with the ‘new’ next gen consoles, but also with the last few generations: I’m just not […]
Opinion: Next Gen
You’d barely know it, but the next generation of consoles is now less than a month away. Yet the hype and the excitement seems to be incredibly muted. Both PS5 […]
Opinion: Nintendo Direct
So after months, if not years, of speculation regarding a collection of more modern Mario titles than we’re used to seeing, it was finally revealed in yesterday’s Nintendo Direct, which was also a celebration of the 35th Anniversary of seminal video game Super Mario Bros. Containing Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy, it’s coming very soon […]
Opinion: Backwards Compatibility
There’s endless rumour and speculation about the lengths to which Sony’s upcoming console, the PS5, will be backwards compatible with previous PlayStation consoles. Though this will be put to rest this week – hopefully – with the PS5 event scheduled for June 4th, we already have a very clear idea as to where their closest competitor – at least in […]
Happy Mario Day!
Seeing as MAR 10 is Mario Day, I thought I’d take the opportunity to once more cover my experience with the very first Super Mario Bros game I ever played […]
Opinion: Google Stadia – Staying Alive?
This time last year (or close enough – the announcement came at GDC 2019 on the 19th of March), Google were busy hyping up their incredible looking games streaming service – Stadia. It was a massive and presumably very expensive event, for a service that was – again, presumably – very costly to develop and launch. Pre-orders for the Founders […]
Opinion: Xbox Series X Features
I must be psychic. Just a day before the Xbox Series X specs and features announcement, I was bemoaning the laziness of remasters – now here we are with the knowledge that first party (and third party, if the publisher chooses) games will essentially be forward compatible on Xbox One, meaning that you will be able to purchase a game […]
Opinion: Remakes and Remasters
I find it incredibly odd that the moment a movie remake or reboot is announced, people will immediately cry foul and decry the lack of imagination and originality in cinema, without even giving the movie a chance (I’ve been guilty of this myself, yet I’ve been proven wrong in harshly judging a film before it’s released). Yet those very same […]
Film Review: A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon
I’m a big fan of Aardman, though wasn’t a massive fan of their last film – released in 2018 – Early Man (though it did have its moments and the […]
Opinion: Contra Rogue Corps
You really have to feel for Konami UK’s social media person, whoever that is. They’re doing their best, bless ‘em, but the hand they’ve been dealt is a particularly bad […]
