What I remember about my first visit to Berlin is: Evening air so humid my vest clings to my torso. Lukewarm bottled water. Icy Berliner Pilsner.

Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus is not a truly great Wolfenstein game, but it feels like a rung on the ladder to one. It carries the franchise’s history like a millstone carved from a beloved pet rock.  Unflinchingly self-conscious; at once brazen and apologetic.  The Wolfenstein name is both a slashed Achilles heel, and the…

‘There is only one side’ claims the video Bethesda posted last week to promote the Nazi stomping Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus. And really, who could argue with that?

Or for those not constantly bombarded by trash new paper headlines; Britain’s decision to leave the European Union, cut itself off from one of the biggest trade markets…

Libtards are the worst, am I right? It seems like you can’t go a day without hearing something about “healthcare for all” or “representation needs to be expanded” blah blah blah. Who wants to hear it? Who has time for it? It seems like nowadays if you want to avoid this dribble your best option…

Is it worth it? let me work it put that established narrative convention down, flip it and reverse it …. I am so, so sorry for that. Here’s five times the princess saved you. Saskia saves Geralt – The Witcher 2 If you first came along to the series with The Witcher 3, you never…

Imagine this hypothetical scenario; In a parallel universe, I am not merely an imposter with a penchant for thesauruses who once played Bubsy 3D for twenty minutes and feels that grants me the inalienable right to pontificate endlessly about games on the internet, but an actual game designer with, you know, talent and vision and…

The Bethesda E3 press conference opened with a bunch of kids talking about what their parents – mothers and fathers – did for a living. Both women and men were shown enthusing about their jobs and the games they’re making. Though Pete Hines did all of the presenting, Bethesda was careful to include female Youtubers…

Resist Jam took place recently; dedicated to “creating games that resist oppressive authoritarianism in all its forms.” With over 200 games submitted, it’s impossible to get a handle on just how creative and diverse the projects were, so we’ve taken a look at just a few. Firstly we talked about public protest; and now we’ll…
