What Do We Want From Switch 2?
The evidence is mounting. Switch 2 is coming this year, and could be announced as soon as next month. I’ve been pretty vocal about the need for an upgrade. As someone who has a good 4KTV and little interest in a handheld, visuals have been a barrier for a long, long time. Controversies over issues – especially Pokemon-shaped issues – have done little to make me more interested. My Switch became a Smash machine and, frankly, it’s probably still my…

Microsoft: How Not To Handle a Crisis
It’s been fascinating to watch the fallout from the Xbox third party rumours this week. But what’s been more fascinating is Microsoft’s complete lack of response to them. The gaming community has hit fever pitch.

The Lord of the Rings 5e – Role playing in Middle Earth?
