  • Microsoft trying to shore up some goodwill. I know it has been a couple of weeks since the last Xbox Developer Direct and I was trying to think about how best to approach all of this. On one hand, I am very much interested on the next slate of what Xbox has in store for…

  • I do not know where to begin, when it comes to talking about such a grand, epic and devastating game. For those that played the game and for those that had to endure the excessive ‘crunch’ that led to the completion of this cowboy-western. Red Dead Redemption 2 is perhaps the best game Rockstar Games…

  • When all the pieces fell into piece… The first ever game from Developer Sandfall Interactive Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 turned out to be a massive hit garnering both critical and commercial acclaim, whilst being a strong front-runner for the category of ‘Game of the Year’ at The Game Awards hosted by Geoff Keighley. Who would’ve…

  • A slow crawl into the unknown… For those that don’t know, Hollow Knight is widely considered to be a masterpiece and is one of the most successful crowdfunded Indie Games, which released back in 2017. This is probably my first formal introduction to Metroidvanias and I have to give massive props to independent developer Team…

  • Where to begin? Microsoft has been in a rather contentious state with its gaming Division Xbox and I would say it has been in somewhat of a rut for many years. The gaming audience and the gaming industry at large are feeling the effects of a trillionaire cooperation maximising profit and quarterly earnings and laying…

  • Director Paul Thomas Anderson strikes hard and fast in this gripping thriller. As I begin writing this review, I have to admit that I am not someone who is very much into Paul Thomas Anderson films. It is not that I do not appreciate his past films, or admire the way he crafts such messy…

  • There is a timeline in place… Today’s post I thought about looking into what Sony has presented in their recent ‘State of Play’, as to the upcoming slate of video games for 2025 and beyond. I shall look at things I found noteworthy and this is not in any way a summary of the entire…

  • The Fantastic Four are back with one foot firmly planted on the ground, yet with one foot stuck in space. The Fantastic Four: First Steps directed by Matt Shakman delivers a family drama within a retro futuristic setting. The tone and atmosphere is brimming with initial wonder and excitement, but that slowly dissipates in a…

  • The Live Action Flick directed by James Gunn has some teething issues… It’s been a while since we have got a live action film dedicated to Superman with the last feature being Man of Steel (2013) directed by Zack Snyder. Snyder’s version of Superman really felt like a departure of who the character was, in…
