Crash Bandicoot: Warped came out in 1998. My constant dull back pain and need to grunt every time I sit down shows just how long ago that was. Crash 4 came out last September – a little close to the launch of the new-generation consoles for comfort. Our very own Kevin Austin gave it an 8.5 at the time, but we all knew the real version would come to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. That port launched last week…

Secret Lab Titan Stealth Gaming Chair Review
With a multitude of gaming chair companies scattered around the globe, it's often hard to decide which chair will be the best fit for you. For many, it comes down to the price you pay, but that doesn't always paint a clear picture on which is the best. For example, if you have to buy two sub-par chairs for 299.99 each over a 10 year period, but only one quality chair for 499.99 in that same span, the choice seems very obvious. Secret Lab is definitely on the higher end of the gaming chair price spectrum, but the quality components, fantastic seats, and so ...
Read MoreForza Horizon 4 is a Huge Success – Proving that Gamepass Works
More than 24 million people have played Forza Horizon 4, making it one of the most successful racing games of all time. And you didn’t have to pay a penny for it. Gamepass allowed you access to the game – day one – without paying a penny extra than your subscription. An overwhelming amount of people decided to do so anyway. Even at £54.99, it’s still in the top ten on Steam a week after launch. This proves without a…

Read MoreWill Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 Need Mid-Gen Upgrades?
The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X are more powerful than anything we’ve ever had before. But that doesn’t mean much. The PS4 and Xbox One were mid-level even at launch, and it’s been incredible to see how they’ve been utilized by clever developers over the last seven years. PS4 Pro and Xbox One X were desperately needed when we got to about year four or five, as people started to buy 4K TVs and developers started wanting to push…

Read MoreHarvest Moon: One World – Know What You Are Getting Into
When I think about a Harvest Moon style game - whether it be this franchise or Story of Seasons or Stardew Valley - I quickly form a quick perceived understanding of what that game will be all about. Outside of a few new items that ultimately get added with each experience, I'm going to be planting fields, tending to animals, and finding a spouse. You unlock new crops, new areas of your farm and the surrounding town, see what the Harvest Godess is up to, and so much more. If you go into Harvest Moon: One World with that thought, you might be sadly disappointed.
Read MoreStory Driven Harvest Moon a Far Cry from Original Concept
Harvest Moon: One World has been out for almost a week, and after much time with the game, it has become very apparent that this Harvest Moon is a far cry from the original cutesy farming simulation concept. While Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town has done a great job of incorporating new ideas while maintaining the standard farming practices, Harvest Moon: One World has gone a different route, and it somewhat pays off.
Read MoreGame Guides: How The Art of Cheating Has Disappeared
My office is filled with books and on the bottom shelf is a treasure trove of old game guides. I’ll never need to know how to win at Gangsters again, but it’s there, ready for an emergency. Nostalgia – it’s the only reason to keep them. They’re worth pennies, if that. But they remind me of a better time: the days when you could look up a problem in any video game without hearing the phrase “like and subscribe”. I…
