Whoa, Neo Is Kicking Agent Smith's Ass In This Sifu Mod
15.3.2022
While The Matrix Awakens: An Unreal Engine 5 Experience was no doubt an impressive display of how far gaming technology’s evolved since 2003, I’d argue that the true hotbed of gaming innovation comes from the gigachads known as PC modders. Don’t believe me? Check out this Sifu mod that pits...
I Accidentally Watched The New Batman Movie In The Worst Way Possible
14.3.2022
As an unapologetic batcat shipper and a sucker for movie trailers effectively utilizing Nirvana songs, seeing The Batman wasn’t a matter of “if” but “when.” However, I got more than I bargained for when I mistakenly bought tickets to see Matt Reeves’ new Bruceman film in an obscure format called...

9.3.2022
I was, I am happy to admit, a Steam Deck skeptic. Valve’s history with hardware does feel an awful lot like Captain Ahab’s history with Moby Dick. While all have their passionate defenders, the Steam Controller, Vive VR, and Steam Link can reasonably be chalked up as something short of colossal...

Elden Ring Beta's Most Notorious Jerk Has Chilled Out Now
24.2.2022
Early Elden Ring players were shocked when an NPC in the closed network test called their character a “bit player” who should “die in a ditch somewhere.” His outright and immediate hostility was seen by some as a personification of the Souls-like genre’s brutal difficulty, but I’m here to report...
13 Years On, Mirror's Edge Is Still A Masterpiece
21.2.2022
I don’t tend to replay video games very often. The demands of this job mean I’m normally straight onto the next one as soon as the credits roll on the last. But every year I try to find the time to revisit one of my all-time favourites: EA’s Mirror’s Edge.Read more

Firstly and most prominently because the rights to the series are going up for sale for the first time since the 1970s.

Remembering Why The Jackass Video Game Was Terrible
5.2.2022
Yesterday, the world got a new Jackass film. After two years of covid-19, I’ll admit I’m happy to see the old gang back, wild and dumb as ever. It feels like a small piece of normality, one which I’m happy to have in 2022. But back in 2007, following the release of the second film and five years...
