Another Executive Walks Away From Ubisoft

The continuing Ubisoft abuse scandal has now seen another executive walk away from the global company, seemingly with little to no consequence. Tommy François, one of the Vice Presidents in Ubisoft’s Editorial department, had been previously put on leave in June following…

Wilmot’s Warehouse Free On Epic

Not much to say about this week’s news really. Monday, I covered the mobile guff of Twitch Prime, and the latest games added to that. Tuesday, Taylor spoke of the PS4 controller working partially for the PS5, and I moaned about Strauss Zelnick trying to justify…

Women and Queerness in Horror: The Handmaiden

Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Handmaiden, discussions of adult themes, and mentions of abuse, child sexual abuse, suicide, sexual assault and harassment. Having recovered my brain from last week’s need for a mental and emotional break, I have now jumped…

Why I Canceled my Marvel’s Avengers Pre-Order

There are a lot of things I can sort of look past as a consumer of video games. I don’t mind DLC or microtransactions when I can simply choose to ignore them. I really don’t even mind games that function entirely online.…

Skully (PC) Review

As some of you may recall, I wrote a preview of Skully, by Finish Line Games, about a month ago. Having been provided with a review code for the full game‘s release, I’ve been giving it a second, more comprehensive look. The first…
