2021 Was the Year of Covid – and 2022 Will Be Too
New Years is usually the time when we reflect on the past 12 months. And in the case of 2021 one word sticks out: covid. It influenced our day-to-day lives, our politics, our jobs. It impacted our video games, and it will continue to do so. Sony and Nintendo released so few mainstream games last year, while Microsoft’s biggest title came along after a year’s delay. The already barren first years of the new console generation were about as bad…

Rune Factory 4 Special Review
Rune Factory 4 has been out for some time on Nintendo Switch. When I heard it was coming to Xbox I was beyond excited as I never played the game on original release. Xseed Games and Marvelous Inc keep coming at us with hit after hit. Being a huge fan of this dynamic duo which brought us Story Of Seasons on almost every major platform, easily one of my favourite franchise in gaming this was a must play for me. Rune Factory 4 Special brings the best of all gaming aspects farming and battling. If you have played Stardew Valley it will have a similar feel to it, ...
Read MoreThe Downside of Game Pass
I’ve spoken endlessly about how awesome Game Pass is, and I”m not the only one. The reason for that is because it’s brilliant. Arguing it is pointless. But there is one area which makes it fall down. Don’t worry dear reader, I won’t stop evangelising – my local Game Pass door knocking sessions are finally starting to pay off. But as the single biggest flaw in the service, this is something that needs to be fixed sooner rather than later.…

Lazy PC Ports are Coming Back
There was a time when you felt lucky as a PC gamer if you had any degree of control over a console-to-PC port. If it released the same year as the console version, it was practically Christmas. Then the money started coming in. Steam sales allowed every title to have a tail that lasted months or even years after release. Simply porting your title and giving it some customisability eventually meant you made money. It should have stayed that way,…

What’s In an Engine?
Gamers don’t have to worry about what engine their favourite games run on. Not usually. Not like a few years ago. The engine is like sound or editing – if it’s doing its job, you don’t even really notice it exists. And yet engines are right at the forefront of conversation again thanks to the Matrix interactive trailer released last week. It was mind-bending. I don’t want to take anything away from it, because I still can’t quite get my…

All Hail The Game Awards
It’s the most wonderful time of the year – the Game Awards. That means a fanbase who simultaneously don’t value awards but get incredibly angry when their favourite titles don’t get any. There’ll be some fun trailers and, as is tradition, absolutely no mention of Silent Hill. And, genuinely, for all the downplaying that gets done at this time of year, it’s still and event that gets people talking at a time when there isn’t much new to talk about.…
