Sony has reacted to the Activision purchase to regulators, and it is an eye opening glimpse behind the curtain. Without all the bluster and PR of companies on the public stage, we see what Sony thinks are the biggest threats of Microsoft buying Activision. To be fair, this isn’t necessarily their true feelings. Call of Duty is a huge title on PlayStation. They want the sale blocked. It makes sense to overegg the despair. But taken at face value, we…

Disney Dreamlight Valley will be out for Early Access on September 6th, 2022. Early Access will be available on PC, Nintendo Switch, PS4/PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and gamepass!

If there was any company that could do a Super Smash Bros clone, it would be Warner Brothers. They have the variety and the history to pull it off. So the oddly named Multiversus should be a Space Jam-style slam dunk right? Like all free-to-play games, it’s not an easy question to answer. The game could be the best thing ever and if the monetization is wrong, then you’ll walk away from the experience feeling bitter. Unfortunately here, there are…

What makes a good game? Is it knights with giant swords, or robots with death rays? Is it really fast cars? Epic adventures in unknown lands? PowerWash Simulator is the latest game to prove it doesn’t have to be any of those things. Actually, my first few hours with it were regularly punctuated with the phrase “I’m not even sure I’m enjoying it”. Which, incidentally, is said about as much whenever I have to do a real-life chore. And therein…

The latest entry in the My Universe games – best known I think for being well-crafted family friendly games that are easy enough to play for nongamers and young kids – have moved on to what I think is their greatest one to date with Green Adventure – Farmers Friends. Despite the complicated naming convention, the idea is pretty simple. The old tried and true story of you getting a run-down farm and bringing it back to glory—this time with…

It’s easy to write up my first impressions of Overwatch 2. They’re pretty much exactly the same as my last impressions of Overwatch 1. I know that’s not the most original take on the internet, but unfortunately it is an inescapable one. I loaded up the game, picked a couple of familiar characters, played for a little bit and it could’ve been an update for the old game. And don’t get me wrong: it would’ve been a hell of an…

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise has been having a great year. Shredder’s Revenge came out and has sold over a million copies so far and the Cowabunga Collection is on the way. Recently we got another tease of the collection and I want to talk about it. Check out the video below and then my thoughts! Wow. The TMNT Cowabunga Collection looks amazing. First of all, look at the main menu. The black and white comic art around the…

Red Dead Redemption 2 was a modern day classic. It is one of the best games of the last generation, and one of the best selling too. It sold more than twice the copies of God of War. So why the hell has its post-game support been so lousy? The final nail in the coffin came this week when Rockstar revealed it has pulled devs from Red Dead Online to work on Grand Theft Auto 6. There will be no…

It’s likely you’ve heard of Cuphead. The game is very popular and has an animated series on Netflix too! If you’ve never played the game, then you’ve come to the right place. Check out our review of Cuphead + The Delicious Last Course DLC for the Xbox Series S! I kept hearing about Cuphead and seeing previews of it. The game looked great, but I hesitated. I heard that the game was very difficult. I’m usually not into difficult games,…

Even the Blade Runner version of 2019 looks like a dream compared to 2022. No pandemic, no crazy politics – just murder robots and really bad pollution. Oh, and new coke. So visiting it in video game format for the first time in 20 years felt like it was going to be a real treat. And in many ways it was. This enhanced edition of the original PC point and click game was a labour of love for the developers…
