Shadow of the Colossus is a reminder what a thrill climbing should be, and stands out in a pack where so many have diluted this simple feature to sheer tedium.

Hollywood is evidently at it again: taking iconic video game heroine Lara Croft and de-powering her by turning her into a daddy's girl. Or at least that's how trailers make the upcoming Tomb Raider movie reboot look.

Critics largely celebrated the release of Machine Game’s 2017 sequel to their Wolfenstein reboot. The reviews hearken towards the title’s expert storytelling, meaty gun-play and eclectic cast – all merits The New Colossus certainly holds in varying degrees. Its narrative reaches into some dark and intriguing places, the gameplay often manages to make one feel supremely skilled and virtually every character is a genuine delight. However, a number of vexing decisions – small issues with writing, the anticlimactic pacing, over-reliance on simplistic stealth, and the unnecessary decision to pull control from the player – hold Wolfenstein back from its potential status as the quintessential modern First-Person Shooter.

For the last three days, it has been entirely overcast in my neck of the woods while simultaneously being stickier than Spider-Man’s bed after a web-shooter malfunction at night. Clearly, some rain is on the way…right? I went outside, I looked at the grey heavens and I said “Hey some rain would be great right about now”. The clouds stared back at me, shouted “NOPE CHUCK TESTA” and then instantly parted so that I could be vapourised on the spot by the searing heat of the star that we orbit. Fortunately, I got better. As for the rest of the week? Take it away Glenn!

Imagine playing for the Sharks, Kaizer Chiefs, or the City of Cape Town for your favourite esport. Imagine the possibilities.
