16 3 月, 2021 Alex Donaldson 0

Microsoft’s entry into the gaming headset market isn’t perfect, but it’s a very strong offering for the price. The design team behind the new Official Xbox Wireless Headset plainly had two missions: first, to create a best-in-class Xbox headset at a sub-$100 price. But second, and equally important, it also had to be a solid, […]

Sea of Thieves is the ultimate proof that subscription services like Xbox Game Pass are a winner

15 3 月, 2021 Alex Donaldson 0

For an ever-improving service game like Sea of Thieves, Game Pass seems like where it’s always belonged. When Sea of Thieves first released, I liked it well enough – but I also thought it was probably going to end up struggling. It had strong ideas, and a whole lot of developer Rare’s trademark heart, but […]

Light gun games finally feel good on modern displays. It’s time for Namco, Sega, and others to bring them back

11 3 月, 2021 Alex Donaldson 0

It’s time to bring back a classic genre. What types of games have suffered a painful decline to the point where the genre barely exists any more?

2 3 月, 2021 Alex Donaldson 0

In many ways, Pokemon Legends: Arceus was the perfect announcement for the Pokemon series to celebrate its 25th anniversary. By its very nature it looks back – to a region we’ve previously visited, and quite literally into the chronological past of the Pokemon universe. But also, it looks forward: to a new style of open-ended […]

Bravely Default 2 review: a genius battle system that’ll thrill fans – in a deeply uneven package

25 2 月, 2021 Alex Donaldson 0

As a retro RPG revival, Bravely Default 2 is faithful and full of heart, just like its predecessors. As a high definition 2021 video game, it sometimes falls short. I’m a little torn on Bravely Default 2. On one hand, it’s a Japanese role playing game for true aficionados of the genre. Its combat is […]
