Another week, another list of publishers and developers that have been accused of treating their staff abysmally. Add in Sony and Activision – and no doubt countless others – and it feels like the industry is just awful. Sexism, racism, abuse. These companies fly flags and issue press releases when International Women’s Day rolls around, but behind closed doors hate just about everybody regardless of anything. Equal opportunities abuse – finally we’ve made it. This week there have been stories…

At the grizzled old age of 32 sometimes I need help understanding the basics of the modern world. What is a dab? Why is TikTok a thing when it’s so obviously not a thing? And today, what the hell are vtubers? For a while now, there’s been a lot on the internet that I haven’t understood. Frankly, it’s only been getting worse. As someone who grew up in 90s chatrooms, I used to get the wild west nature of the…

In the late eighties and early nineties, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were extremely popular. They were everywhere: from their start in comics, to cartoons, toys, movies, and of course video games. The turtles seemed unstoppable. Over the years though, they’ve become less popular. While the turtles haven’t disappeared, they have never reached their popularity of the 80s/90s. And now…we are about to get two games this year, plus a new animated movie is in the works. Is Turtlemania returning?…

Almost two months ago Microsoft announced it was making the biggest purchase in the history of video games. Xbox is buying Activision. Then they disappeared. Call me ungrateful if you’d like. It’s a seemingly obtuse point to make: that they are both making the biggest purchase in the history of video games and being too quiet. The patient adult in me wants to accept that there are things happening behind the scenes. The obnoxious internet side of my personality wants…

The final DLC has landed for Assassin's Creed Valhalla, and it's a big one. Dawn of Ragnarok is available now, and thanks to Ubisoft Canada, I had an early go at the entire experience. Is it worth the price? Is it worth the investment? As someone who loves fantasy worlds and the Assassin's Creed gameplay loop, I would say yes!

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is coming out on April 5th, 2022. Not too long now! Here’s a brand new look at the game! Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga will be out very soon. The newest video shows off the huge galaxy that the developers have created for the game. Its pretty amazing! The graphics look great and its looks like we’ll be doing a lot of exploring. The developers highlight some of the many side missions, some…

There were no 15 minutes introductory cutscenes. There’s no quest log or diary of recent dialogue. Hell, there isn’t even a Sonic the Hedghog-esque voice actor saying “previously on…” every time I load. I have no idea what’s happening in Elden Ring – and I love it. I mean, hey, I like being beaten over the head with issues as much as the next guy. I’m sure those giants I’ve killed over and over are Somalian pirates or something. Or…

Gotham Knights will be released in October. The release date for the game was announced today. Gotham Knights will be released on October 25, 2022. The game will feature Batman’s friends: Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, and Red Hood defending Gotham when it appears that Batman is dead. Gotham Knights is an action/adventure game with multiplayer. It looks like a pretty cool game too. We’ve seen a lot of Batman games but we’ve never really gotten one where Batman’s friends get to…

Influencers are great - in fact, I've worked to build a brand outside of GamesReviews.com to attempt and achieve that to some extent. But I'm finding more and more that one single person isn't generally convincing me of making a purchase. Instead, I'm finding the growing communities on Twitter - as toxic as it can be - as a driving force behind whether or not I play games. And Elden Ring is a great example of this.
