Rise Of The Tomb Raider (Xbox One) – Review

Right, let’s get this very straight: Mike and I are on opposite sides of the fence when it comes to Tomb Raider (2013). He reviewed it with the mindset of someone who enjoyed Uncharted, while I’d be removing Nathan Drake’s teeth from a wall…

Last Days of itch.io $5 Palestinian Aid Bundle

Much like playing the protagonist in a video game, it’s natural to want to do good any way you can. What better way than to score an unreal amount of video games for a small price, whilst supporting a charitable cause? Itch.io,…

Biomutant (Xbox One) – Review

For years now, I’ve seen the key-art for Biomutant and thought, “I should play that sometime,” forgetting it wasn’t out yet. Then I’d repeat this several times since its first announcement back in 2017, always assuming I’d get around to it one day when…

Oddworld: Soulstorm Rated for Xbox Series X|S

Console exclusivity doesn’t last forever. While the big-time titles for PlayStation and Xbox tend to stay that way, others have less strict rules. The perk of a timed exclusive is still significant, which is why we’re seeing them on the PS5 and…

Devolver Digital’s Showcase Has Been Announced

Do you like drug-induced paranoia, with lots and lots of side jabs at the larger gaming world? Then you must love Devolver Digital’s yearly not-showcase showcase of all the games they are or possibly aren’t making. Yes, it is that time of…
