Okay, “criticise” might be too harsh a word. Analyse? Scrutinise? Twitterise? You may not be aware, but something of a debate has been taking place on the webosphere after a series of screenshots from the upcoming Spider-Man title found their way online, probably from slightly mischievous review sources who have early access to the game. Anyway, the eagle-eyed, never-forgetting surfers […]
Nintendo’s in a good place right now. 2018’s jam-packed launch schedule is strong and is generating considerable buzz across the webosphere, with gamers hotly anticipating such titles as Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu / Eevee! And yet despite all this, there appears to be one game that has been planted at the bottom of the priority pile. Why has […]
2018 game releases! There are many still to come. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a video game schedule quite so intense or jam-packed, at least not in terms of the major franchises being represented. Over the next four months, we can expect… Marvel’s Spider-Man – September 7 Shadow of the Tomb Raider – September 14 Life is Strange […]

However, at this year’s E3 […]
With a major new No Man’s Sky update about to launch on the PlayStation, PC and Xbox, the game about infinite exploration in a procedurally-generated universe is suddenly the hot topic de jour. Indeed, creator Sean Murray has recently given a candid (and fascinating) interview to Eurogamer, which I recommend you read. Much of the No Man’s Sky debate tends to centre […]
I must admit, I don’t have huge amount of game nostalgia prior to the age of 12. Consoles weren’t something I was particularly exposed to as a wee bairn.
