Despite being a huge fan of the Shin Megami Tensei series, and by extension all of the Persona games, Shin Megami Tensei 5 was a game that has sat in my backlog pile of shame ever since it originally launched back in 2021 for the Nintendo Switch. Thankfully that’s no longer the case thanks to the recent release of Shin … Read More
When I reviewed Elden Ring when it released back in 2022, I praised it for it’s incredible design and worldbuilding and said that it would be a game that I would likely return to for a long time to come. And I did, as do many, many others. To this day, I continue to find new areas and enemies that … Read More
The Sand Land series has seen a lot of love recently. In just the past year, it’s gone from being a small and fairly niche piece of Akira Toriyama’s catalogue thanks to a film, anime series and now a video game adaptation.

It’s hard to deny the cultural impact The Last of Us series has had since its original launch. Both the first and second game have had people mesmerised by its world and discussing its story and themes many years on from the launch of each game. I still consider the original 2013 release to be one of, if not the … Read More
I have a long and passionate history with the Prince of Persia franchise. It’s a series that helped bridge a gaming relationship with my Dad due to his personal history playing the original game, so we both spent plenty of nights playing through the Sands of Time trilogy together when it released in the early 2000s. I had always hoped … Read More
When Avatar, the highest grossing film franchise of all time was announced to be getting a video game adaptation and was partnering for Ubisoft, I was both curious and had a few questions. 1. How have we not had more Avatar video games in the years since the first film and 2. How would this collaboration with Ubisoft play out. … Read More
I’ve been playing games all my life. Even in just the portion of my life that I’ve been running this site, you can see I’ve played many video games spanning many different genres.
