Three seemingly unrelated stories have gone viral this week. Firstly, the M&Ms were given new shoes. Secondly, a Tennessee school board banned Maus. And third, Minnie Mouse has been given a Stella McCartney pantsuit for Disneyland Paris' 30th anniversary. These feel like very different stories, and two of them feel quite frivolous, while the banning of Maus (a graphic novel […]

It's rare in gaming that you can say anything is truly the 'end of an era'. Eras, by definition, are long stretches of time. Gaming, relatively speaking, is a fairly young medium. Kojima leaving Konami was the end of an era, but after that I'm struggling. We call it the 'end of an era' when a cult Xbox 360 finally […]

Persona 5 might be the game I have the strangest relationship with – even stranger than the fact you can date your kinda sorta step-sister and your teacher in the game. You can date them both at once, if you wanna mix and match your Orange YouTube categories. And yes, I know Futaba isn't quite your step-sister, please don't email […]

Pokemon is the highest-grossing video game franchise of all time, and it’s not even close. At $90 billion, Pokemon has made three times as much as Mario, five times more than Call of Duty, and ten times as much as Grand Theft Auto. Game Freak also puts out the worst looking triple-A games of all time. Again, it’s not even […]

Remember when the 10th Doctor regenerated into his severed hand and said hand grew into a human version of himself? At the time, showrunner Russell T Davies was all, “Well shit, we can’t have two Doctors running amuck!” so they stuck him in a parallel universe? No? Well, neither does the show. It hasn’t come up since and not much […]

Lost Recipes aims to strike a balance between engaging VR gameplay and educational cooking simulator – but does it find the right mix of ingredients, or does it all go up in flames? Read on for our Lost Recipes review. Turning the Tables Cooking can be a notoriously frantic activity, especially for those who are new to the kitchen or […]

Apex Legends has a long and in-depth lore. Even before you get to the Titanfall connections – which is essentially a whole single-player campaign’s worth of background for the Apex Games – there are comics, coffee table books, and animated shorts that build the worlds and characters of the game. I won’t go into it in detail right now, because […]

Nathan Drake’s days of adventuring are over. As we watched him hang up his holster and rope to begin a new chapter in his life, Naughty Dog’s scribes doubled down on the message of “it’s over.” Video game protagonists rarely walk off into the sunset, but Drake’s farewell is as definitive as they come. Naughty Dog wrote Uncharted 4: A […]

The Rock sent Twitter into a tailspin this week by revealing in an interview that once he is done with Black Adam, he'll be ramping up work on a video game movie adaptation. Not just any video game movie adaptation, but a cinematic reimagining of the "biggest, most badass" game out there, one The Rock has been playing for years. […]

The Legacy of Thieves Collection doesn’t feel like much of a remaster. Perhaps it’s because Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and Lost Legacy look marvelous already, but the changes are slight enough that it feels like both of these ports could have simply come in the form of free updates, much like Ghost of Tsushima and Days Gone before them.
