We checked out the Cat Quest 3 demo and liked it a lot. So our excitement for the upcoming game is high. Here is a brand new character trailer that adds to that. Cat Quest 3 looks amazing. I really like the first game and I haven’t had the chance to check out the second. The third game, however, just looks like a ton of fun.

Executives: How Hard is it to Stop F***ing Up?
There was a time when I’d write about games. Now I write about how industry executives keep stepping on rakes. I should preface this by saying I’m not the multimillionaire executive of a trillion dollar company, so perhaps the line between “making customers happy” and “destroying an entire brand in a fire” is thinner than you might think. Xbox this week shuttered two popular studios for reasons beyond public comprehension. There are probably reasons, but their marketing policy makes giving…

Read MoreTales of the Shire Is the Adaptation We Need
I watched the trailer for Tales of the Shire yesterday, and instantly decided it wasn’t going to be my thing. You know what it is? Exactly the kind of gaming adaptations we need. Life sims are huge right now. Will any of these games still be rated especially well in a decade? Enjoy before the wave comes crashing down, because man the weight of some of these titles is starting to feel heavy. And I start this article from pointing…
Read MoreStellar Blade Review
Stellar Blade, the latest exclusive to hit the PS5, is a game of contrasts. It boasts gorgeous visuals and a thrilling combat system, but stumbles with a repetitive structure and a narrative that fails to capture the imagination. Here’s a deep dive into what Stellar Blade offers, and where it falls short. The ruined city of Xion and the overgrown remnants of Earth are brought to life with stunning detail. The developers have crafted a world that feels both hauntingly…

When Ghost of Tsushima comes to PC it’ll bring with it something that many of us guessed would never happen. You’ll be able to earn PlayStation trophies through your Steam purchase. This is massive. I get it. It doesn’t feel massive. In fact, on the face of it, Ghost of Tsushima coming to PC massively outweighs that little nugget of information by an order of magnitude. But that’s only if you’re not paying attention. There was a time not very…
Read MoreFallout Is Big Again – Now Where’s The Tie-In?

So it’s fantastic news that the next game is probably still a decade out. Yes, we have the Fallout 4 update next week, and that’ll scratch the itch. And obviously there’s Fallout London and other fan made stuff on the horizon. But the point of this…
Read MoreShould We Tip For Great Games?
Oh lord, keep with me on this one, people. Tipping is controversial at the best of times. A suggestion that we bring a tip option to video games is going to be met with all kinds of resistance. But you know, it makes sense. When we look back over the last decade or so, it’s obvious that something was going to give. Games have become more expensive to make at the same time as gamers coming to expect more for…
