Thanks to EA I was recently able to attend a hand’s off preview for their upcoming title Immortals of Aveum. You may remember it being revealed last year during The Game Awards with its short reveal teaser showcasing the game’s first person spell slinging and fantasy world. But now we’ve been shown a lot more, and it’s got me quite … Read More

Despite being around for close to 20 years, the Yakuza series has only really taken off here in the west and shot to popularity over the past 5-10 years, picking up a growing fanbase that’s come to love the series’ take on the Japanese criminal underground featuring some expertly written characters and it’s own brand of quirky weirdness.

If you grew up in the 90’s/early 2000’s there’s a good chance you were either a fan of, or at least knew of the Harry Potter series. PotterMania was everywhere at the time and the books were even part of my school curriculum. Along with the release of the movies, I found myself quite the fan of the universe, it’s … Read More

The Metroid series has existed since before I was born. In the grand scheme of their overall catalogue, it’s not one of Nintendo’s biggest franchises, but it’s definitely one of my personal favourite series.

Growing up as a 90’s kid, SpongeBob SquarePants was one of those franchises that became a staple piece of entertainment. Even now in my early 30’s, the SpongeBob series holds a special place in my heart, mostly because of nostalgia, but also because I can still appreciate how a lot of its writing and plot is designed for viewers of … Read More

The Persona series is one of my all time favourite gaming franchises. The stories are mature yet filled with rewarding lighthearted moments, the characters are deep and diverse and they offer worlds you’ll get lost in for many, many hours. My love for the series actually began when I originally played Persona 4 and it’s had me hyped for every … Read More

In the JRPG genre, there are many franchises that have lived on for many decades and seen a vast number of entries and many years of success. If you ask people to name some of the most well known, it won’t take long these days for someone to mention the Persona series. Over the past 10 years, the series has … Read More
