In The Console Wars, Astro’s Playroom Is Extraordinarily Effective PlayStation Propaganda

As I finished the short delight of Astro’s Playroom, sitting back in satisfaction at having defeated those daft dinosaurs, I found myself bathing in the warm glow of affection for a quarter-century of Sony technology, reminiscing about the days of… wait, hang on? I’ve never given a toss about PlayStations before. What is happening to…

Cyberpunk 2077 Is Very Definitely Coming Out December 10, Probably

You would be forgiven for being dubious. Cyberpunk 2077 was originally due to come out in April 2020, and while some certified geniuses entirely correctly stated this would never happen, many were convinced.

If you’d told me back in 2006 that Monolith Soft would go on to become one of Nintendo’s most talented and indispensable first-party development groups, I would have said the same thing as everyone else: “The guys who did Xenosaga?” It’s an old joke at this point, but for years that was Monolith Soft’s reputation:…

Why Do Demon’s Souls Players Keep Falling Off This Ledge?

There are a lot of ways to die in the Demon’s Souls remake. Believe me, the transition to PlayStation 5 has not made this game any more forgiving. But I can’t help but wonder what’s up with this one ledge in the Tower of Latria from which players can’t stop tumbling. I first happened upon…

World of Warcraft: Shadowlands Manages To One-Up War Crimes in New Questline

I can’t imagine a fate worse than death, but thankfully, the writers of World of Warcraft don’t suffer from my same lack of imagination.
