Pokemon Sword and Shield had to make a few cuts in order to meet some of its ambitions, but its DLC expansion pass continues to buff up previously lacking areas of the game. In many ways, the theme of Pokemon Sword and Shield was revolution. A jump to HD graphics, areas with 3D camera control, […]

As the saying goes – if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. 2004 was a long time ago – a whopping fifteen years, plus 2020, the year that has felt like a decade. That’s basically twenty-five years (or sixteen, if you’re a stickler for real linear time). In the fast-evolving world of video games such […]

12 10 月, 2020 Alex Donaldson 0

It’s understandable why Yakuza: Like a Dragon is the way it is. After making six numbered entries in the series and a handful of spin-offs, it’s probably fair to say the team behind it was getting a little bit bored. Why just make another one of those?

Star Wars Squadrons review: EA’s smallest scale Star Wars title yet – but also its best

1 10 月, 2020 Alex Donaldson 0

The best thing you can say about Star Wars Squadrons is that it completely nails the feeling of the space battles in those movies. The physics are fantastical and dumb, but that’s the point. You can throttle up to maximum speed, boost toward and then past an enemy at ridiculous pace, then cut the engines, […]

24 9 月, 2020 Alex Donaldson 0

While Pokemon Go was the game that caused a huge splash and made waves in news headlines, others are highly successful nevertheless, including Pokemon Masters, which last month hit its first anniversary since […]

18 9 月, 2020 Alex Donaldson 0

We really are in the final stretch now. Tiny-Huge Island is the 13th course of Super Mario 64, and the last in the castle upper lobby. 13 might be unlucky for some, but it’s not so bad in Mario 64 – Tiny-Huge Island is one of the best levels in the game. It has a […]
