There are regularly jokes about people buying Call of Duty and playing nothing but Call of Duty until the next game is out. Honestly, it’s easy to see why. Because you CAN. The amount of content these games offer up is unreal. Now, being able to alter and tinker with dozens of guns, in dozens of game modes both online and offline might not appeal to everybody. It doesn’t always appeal to me. But for those that it works for…

In all the debates around Microsoft’s purchase of Activision, one has been the most frequent. How is PlayStation going to cope without Call of Duty? Should they have to? Is it fair? It’s been a while since we last looked at the Activision purchase. That’s mostly because a fat lot of nothing has happened. Decisions have been delayed, as you’d expect from a purchase of this size. A decision will still be made by the end of this financial year,…

It’s fair to say that Overwatch 2 has been the dominant game for me since it released. When I’m not playing it, I’m thinking about it. When I am playing it, I’m wondering why I’m not playing better. It’s still a great game. If anything, it’s a perfect team shooter let down by minor details (and its major battle pass problems). Today we will go through a few more of the issues I’ve found through extensively playing. Unfortunately, Overwatch is…

Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration Collection is out today on the Switch, PS4/PS5, STEAM, Xbox Series X/S, and Atari VCS. The game is a collection of Atari’s greatest hits over the years (and six new games). It includes over 100 games from Atari Jaguar, Lynx, 8-bit computers, 7800, 5200 and 2600 consoles! If you’ve ever had any…

Call of Duty is out, and the talk of the day isn’t about its tight multiplayer or enjoyable campaign. Most conversation seems wrapped around the NEXT Call of Duty. This one isn’t getting a sequel, it’s getting a “premium expansion” – and just what is the difference? If instead of another Black Ops game we get Modern Warfare 2-2, only it’s a paid expansion and everything is done via update… does it actually make any discernable difference in the eyes…

One of the signs that gaming is growing up is when you have two games so totally different vying for people’s attention this November. God of War and Pentiment couldn’t be any more different – but expect a lot of chat about them going forward. That’s not to say they should be compared, although inevitably they will be. But with both games now gold, and almost ready to be played, there’s a good chance that Game of the Year talks…

This has been a bad week for VR. Confirmation, as if confirmation was needed, that it is not for the mainstream came in the announcement of the new PlayStation VR’s price. And that’s not to mention Meta’s problems. A few weeks ago I wrote about VR and it’s problem breaking through to larger crowds. How quickly that article was proven correct. PlayStation fans will be expected to pay $599.99 / €649.99 / £569.99 / ¥79,980 if they want to get…

Octopath Traveler 2 is coming to the Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, and PS5 early next year. A new trailer has been released for the game. Check it out below along with our thoughts on the game. Octopath Traveler 2 is coming out on February 24, 2023. The newest trailer shows off two of the game’s characters and some new ways to travel too! The first Octopath Traveler was a good game. The second one looks even better! The graphics look…

A new adventure has just hit the Switch, PC, and Xbox systems! Lonesome Village is described as a “puzzle-solving fantasy adventure with social simulation”. Check out the launch trailer below and our thoughts on the game. Lonesome Village is out now for the Switch, PC, and Xbox systems. It is $19.99 US. And…it looks awesome! I love simulation games, as you all know and Lonesome Village has that and more. In the trailer we see farming and decorating your home.…

Like all good addicts, I’m still knee-deep into my return to Overwatch 2. That’s giving me a long time to consider the battle pass, and just how much it takes out of the game. I’ve done the review. I’ve spent a decent amount of time with new – or newish – characters. It is, as it always way, a bloody good game. So why is the monetization so bloody bad? The battle pass takes a key part of the first…
