It Takes Two is an odd game. Not only does the mix of genres, level styles, and side activities make it feel like it’s every game ever, but it presents itself as a cuddly, kid friendly game while dealing with mature themes and throwing in lots of jokes for grown ups. Of course, tackling complex themes with winking adult humour […]
Read moreThe Witcher 3’s next-gen upgrade is right around the corner and I’m amping myself up for a playthrough where I actually beat the damn thing. I’m 400 hours deep, started it when I was in secondary school, and now – I’m wrapping up university and still haven’t quite finished it. I’ve poured hours in, went back and beat the first two games, […]
Read moreGravity Rush is a franchise I wish more people paid attention to. It had a passionate community of fans and the second entry tried its best to enter the mainstream, but Japan Studio’s ambitious new IP never received the limelight it truly deserved. This is such a shame, since it boasts one of the most unique worlds of the past […]

Read moreIt’s becoming easier and easier to get fit at home rather than traipsing down to a gym – which are all currently closed – with plenty of ways to make the whole process a lot more fun.

Read morePicture this: you’ve spent hours collecting copper and tin, right, and have kitted yourself and all of your drenger companions out with full bronze armor. You’ve got finewood bows, bronze maces, fully upgraded shields, poison resistance potions, a diet consisting of sausages, cooked meat, and neck tails, and a whole array of fire arrows, flinthead arrows, wood arrows… you get […]
Read more2020 was a bad year for a lot of things, but it was a great year for new video game heroes. Among all of the sequels, prequels, and remakes, there were a handful of brand new characters that entered the pantheon of all-time great video game characters. The Last of Us Part 2 gave us Abby, Lev, Dina, and a […]
Read moreI recommended It Takes Two to a friend of mine recently, and their response was to ask me “what type of game is it?” – it’s a reasonable question, and I gave an equally reasonable answer; “it’s a co-op puzzle platformer.” That’s what the game sells itself as, and it delivers. But that doesn’t quite tell the full story. It […]
Read moreMicrosoft changed the tenor of the console wars when it introduced Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, its subscription service that gives you access to a huge selection of games you can install and play on your Xbox consoles and Windows PC, and even stream to your phone or tablet in many cases. If you’re a new Game Pass Ultimate subscriber and […]
Read moreValve is the sort of studio that will only create new entries in its beloved franchises if they feel truly necessary. Each new project must be a step forward, a justified expansion that does something new in the medium instead of retreading old ground simply to advance a narrative cliffhanger. This is the philosophy that saw Half-Life abandoned for 13 […]
