Everyone has that one thing they just keep trying to get into and ultimately never do. Maybe all you’re friends are metalheads and you keep listening to different bands, hoping you’ll get the appeal only to go back to Fleetwood Mac. Lots of people think they’ll get wrestling a shot only to have no idea what’s going on and feel …
I am not a creator. I’m no good at conceptualising things and even worse at putting them together, so on the surface, Super Mario Maker 2 doesn’t seem like something I’d enjoy. And, if we’re honest, when it comes to the game’s creation suite, it’s not. I’ve tried my hand at using the game’s ridiculously robust, easy-to-use toolset, but I’m …
The hack-and-slash RPG with a dedicated cult following will be making its way to the current generation of hardware in a few months and WHOOO BOY am I keen.
With the Switch, Nintendo can reintroduce many of their great but unappreciated franchises to a new audience. It's perhaps why re-releases of games like Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker have found new life on the console, after being relegated to hardware that hardly captivated mass audiences. It's part of the reason why sequels to established franchises can feel so fresh, and Luigi's Mansion 3 is no exception. There are small refinements here and there, but so far this sequel looks and feels like more of what made the previous two titles so great, and a perfect starting point for those unfamiliar with it.
The rumours were true. The Witcher 3 is coming to the Nintendo Switch this year. Somehow, CD Projekt RED and Nintendo have managed to squeeze The Witcher 3 down to fit on Nintendo’s handheld. It’s a complete edition, presumably stuffed with the game’s superlative DLC. How the hell it even runs on the Switch is beyond my reckoning, but it is coming.
Recent rumours of The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt being ported to the Switch have been swirling for a few months now and it seems the mill isn’t slowing down any time soon. A couple weeks ago I reported on a rumour that The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt would be making the intrepid hop from PC and console over …
It’s difficult to pin down exactly where to start with Refunct. I usually like to dive deeply into a game, looking below the surface of “click on their heads” to see what’s bubbling under the surface. All games have meaning, it’s the nature of creation. Every piece of art is created with a specific vision and message behind it, even …
I knew a necromancer once. A lovely guy, truly one of the friendliest people you could ever hope to meet. He had the most infectious smile and never failed to bring a room alive with his gift of raising everyone’s spirits. Very career driven too, invested in a lot of cryptocurrencies to make a living. Never was very good with …
Recovery takes more than a change in substance use. Here is why patience matters for physical health, emotional healing and rebuilding trust.
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
