What’s your favorite horror-game weapon? Pistol? Crossbow? Flamethrower? While I enjoy the feeling of security that comes from wandering a dark hallway with a spiked baseball bat in hand, I enjoy walking down a not-dark hallway even more. And so I would like to pay tribute to the oft-unsung MVP of the horror game protagonist’s…

Eevee Is What Pokémon Is All About

The heart of what makes Pokémon games so enduring is the sense of adventure and self-discovery. Each game begins with its adolescent protagonist taking a rite of passage, their first voyage into the wider world as their own person.

Shadow Of The Tomb Raider Is More Rewarding With The Hints Turned Off

Modern action-adventure games are pretty easy for me. They’re too easy, you might say, if you’d like there to be some mystery about where your cliff-climbing character should jump or which levers they should pull while trying to operate ancient machinery. Hints tend to come fast, as your hero will start muttering about solutions if…

New Splatoon Figures Are Like Amiibo, Only Much Better

Gone Home’s Switch Version Has Official SNES Cartridges

Other, earlier versions of Gone Home weren’t so lucky, but the new Switch edition of the domecile exploration title has some extra 90s flavour with the addition of official SNES carts. They’re not playable, of course, because this isn’t Animal Crossing circa 2002, but still. Cute touch!   Nintendo, I’m going to ask again: put…

In The Cage And Out, Tyron Woodley Refuses To Play The UFC’s Game

It took me a long time to come around to UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley. And by that, I mean I was resolutely Not A Fan until about, uh, three weeks ago. Like many UFC fans, I’ve always found Woodley—who defended his belt over the weekend by clobbering English up-and-comer Darren Till and then pretzeling…
