Xbox & Bethesda Showcase – 2022

Warning: The following article contains links to trailers that may contain strong language. Reader’s discretion is advised. I love this time of year. The day we’re all invited around to the house of everyone’s second-favorite uncle Phil to be snarky about how…

Maneater Is Free On Epic

Monday, Sony did another State of Play showcase, and budget feudal Pixar the RPG is coming to early access. Tuesday, another trite horror game is coming to Steam, and the plague of mining in games keeps going on. Wednesday, one of only two games I’ve seen this week…

Doctor Who “The Return of Doctor Mysterio” – Review

Funny story, well, it’s not really funny, but it is a story and one about Doctor Who. Yesterday when I was writing this week’s review, or rather while writing this review yesterday, a day ahead to keep up. Written tenses are a pain…

F1 Manager 2022 Gets A Release Date

It seems like an odd time to announce the release date for F1 Manager 2022, given we’ve just passed the Monaco Grand Prix and are now heading into the less prestigious Azerbaijan race this weekend. Nonetheless, the release date and a few more…

Game-To-Film Adaptations, Do We Need Them?

The tipping point for me was last Friday, seeing the news of Gran Turismo getting a prospective movie. The 67th (I made that number up) adaptation of a game that unequivocally does not need one. Over the past year (maybe even two) we’ve seen the…

Prime Gaming – June 2022

With blind hatred for the world and the pain of simply being here, I and Prime Gaming return for another month. I’ll get to running down the games available with Prime in a moment. However, players of GTA Online, Rainbow Six Siege, World of Tanks,…

BioShock: The Collection Is Free On Epic This Week

Monday, nothing happened. Tuesday, Tchia tried to hit a major chord from Moana as Awaceb showcased ocean exploration. Wednesday, Dragon’s Dogma crawled out of its cave after 10-years, and Mathew recounted the Dead By Daylight 6th anniversary celebrations. Thursday, yet another game about planting parsnips was announced (by Nacon this…

Doctor Who “Hell Bent” – Review

The truth of “Hell Bent” is that there are a few moments that are fan service, and even my cold dead heart(s?) flutter into higher rhythms at them. The moment where Peter is sitting outside the shack, surrounded by the proles of…
