Last year was a big one for the gaming industry. We were treated to some astounding games (The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to name just one!), but the industry also suffered some massive losses with many companies laying off thousands of talented workers. Luckily, there are some cracking games set to be … Read more
Fighting games are some of the most popular types of games, and this is definitely true on Xbox. The Xbox Game Pass gives you access to a whole plethora of games for a small monthly subscription. Although there are some smashing fighting games on Xbox Game Pass, there isn’t a dedicated category that can make … Read more
Before there was Lost, there was Alias, a stylish spy thriller show masterminded by TV mainstay J.J. Abrams. Starring Jennifer Garner as Sydney Bristow, Alias revolved around the main character’s espionage missions as a triple agent; she’s working for the shadowy SD-6 intelligence organisation, but she’s also a double agent for the US CIA. What … Read more
If you’ve seen the TNT show The Librarians, then you’ll know it’s one of the most enjoyable shows on TV, even if it isn’t the most original prospect in the world. The show revolves around a group of people recruited by an organisation known as The Library to protect the real world from a magical … Read more
The demise of Castle was met with dismay by its many fans when the show was cancelled back in 2016. Since 2009, Nathan Fillion had starred in the ABC show as Richard Castle, a crime writer who teamed up with homicide detective Kate Beckett to investigate crimes together. The premise was unusual and interesting, and … Read more
There’s something truly special about glow in the dark toys. These little bundles of fun may not be particularly complex, and they may not have built-in screens or Wi-Fi, but just switching off the lights and watching as they illuminate the space around them is a special experience in and of itself. Of course, as … Read more
If you’re not a horror fan, it’s hard to explain exactly why horror is so compelling. Perhaps it’s the vicarious release of allowing yourself to be scared in a controlled environment, or maybe it’s just the visceral thrills of what you’re seeing on screen, but horror scratches an itch that no other genre can scratch … Read more
It’s fair to say that Knives Out, the 2019 detective thriller starring Daniel Craig and directed by The Last Jedi helmsman Rian Johnson, was a breakout hit. Nobody expected Johnson and Craig’s concoction of nostalgic sleuthing, eccentric personalities, and tightly-wound plotting to become quite the runaway success that it was, but Knives Out captured the … Read more
There’s no doubt that the PS2 is one of the most iconic gaming consoles of all time. According to sales data, it’s still the best-selling gaming machine ever, beating out competitors like the Wii, the DS, and the Game Boy. There are many reasons for the PS2’s success; its excellent library of games, iconic controller, … Read more
Have you seen David Fincher’s 2014 thriller Gone Girl? If not, have you read Gillian Flynn’s 2012 source novel? Both the movie and the book are well worth your time, telling a complex tale of a couple that starts out simple and gets progressively more and more tangled as it goes. Fincher does an excellent … Read more
Since time immemorial (or so it seems, at any rate), a great debate has raged among computing enthusiasts, and the debate goes thus: Mac or PC? Competition was, at one point, incredibly fierce between the two camps, with the iconic “Get a Mac” ad campaign showing some of the differences between the two ecosystems. Microsoft … Read more
Depending on which calendar you follow, we’re either most of the way through summer or just around halfway through it (at time of writing, at least). You might think that movie releases would start to dry up once the initial summer thrill has faded, but that’s simply not the case; there are tons of great … Read more
If you’re a fan of racing games, you’ve probably checked out at least one of Ubisoft’s The Crew games, the first of which was released all the way back in 2014. The original The Crew was a massive open-world racer that was undeniably ambitious, but arguably suffered from a map that was slightly too big … Read more
Summer 2023 is almost underway, and as always, that means a slew of exciting gaming events.

Of course, ahead of the … Read more
When Sony unveiled the PS4 Pro, the original PS4 had been on general release for almost three years. The new, souped-up version of the console was officially revealed in September 2016, and Sony made a big deal of the higher-resolution graphics and better performance it would enable in games. Many games did, indeed, take advantage … Read more
It hasn’t been very long since the Samsung Galaxy S23 first graced our shelves, but we’re forward-thinking types here, and so we think it’s high time to start considering what the Galaxy S24 is going to look like. Of course, Samsung is almost certainly already working on the device, but the company hasn’t made any … Read more
The Dragon Age series began back in 2009 with the release of the hotly-anticipated Dragon Age: Origins. Seen as BioWare’s return to the classic RPG, Dragon Age introduced a grim world of morally grey choices and grounded fantasy, spawning a whole new legion of fans as it did so. The followup, Dragon Age 2, was … Read more
It’s fair to say that EA doesn’t have the greatest reputation among gamers. After the company said single-player offline games were “finished” back in 2010, gamers regarded them with increasing hostility. Controversies like the 2013 SimCity always-online fiasco and the 2017 Star Wars Battlefront II microtransaction disaster didn’t help. Since then, EA has arguably been … Read more
