If there’s one thing media has never been shy of warning us away from, it’s the dangers of robotics. From Terminator to Wall-E, robots are associated with the cessation of human life as we know it. Video-games are no exception to this, with robots primarily ruling wastelands and ruined worlds. Continue Reading
Gearbox as a developer has a legacy of peaks and troughs. For every wildly successful series like Borderlands, there’s an utter disaster like Aliens: Colonial Marines. For every unfortunately treated gem like Battleborn, there’s an abomination like Duke Nukem Forever. But no matter how far they fall out of favour, Continue Reading
We live in a rather unfortunate time in gaming when we talk about “exclusives”. Usually, when we talk about games being exclusive to a platform, we would be talking about consoles like the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or Nintendo Switch. As of late though, the idea of exclusive titles has Continue Reading
Sekiro has the unfortunate disposition of being a mere side project by FromSoftware. Earlier this year, I gave Sekiro: Shadow’s Die Twice a glowing review, and even a few months later, still do the occasional run through.

It’s an aspect of gameplay that MMOs are almost entirely constructed around, to occupy players for often thousands of hours. However, it’s also an aspect of games that’s Continue Reading
8K is dumb, as 8K (7680 x 4320 pixels) is an absurdly high ultra-resolution. Especially when it comes to gaming.
