What could sum up the holiday season better than someone making a bunch of dad-rock jokes when they are meant to be having a serious conversation? Anyway, on a totally separate note Dave McAdam is here to tell you why you shouldn’t hold out for a hero. Instead, don’t worry, be happy.
It tough old gig, and even though he’s only been at it for a year and a bit Henry Stockdale already has plenty of things he wishes someone had told him before he made the jump to freelancing full-time.
Rules are made to be broken and a Game of The Year can be whatever you damn want it to be. At least according to Ruth Cassidy… and we tend to agree!
Video games are a comfort for many of us, but there comes a time when you need to step outside of the reassuring safe zone and try something different. Marie Pritchard pushed her gaming tastes this year and has discovered many a fine virtual cuisine!
Time makes fools of us all and video game backlogs make fools of time. We welcome Sam Harrison to the site to let us know all the best games of the year… that he didn’t play.
2021 felt more like an arduous trek than anything else in many ways. KillJoy certainly had his fair share of challenges but he sure has ended up in a pretty damn cool place if we say so ourselves.
You can do a lot in six years, you can also learn a lot of lessons, Khee Hoon Chan certainly has, and they want to share some of those lessons with you.
Dog’s are great. Video games are great. So it stands to reason that a video game about loving dogs would also be great. Amy Eastland is here to let us know if To The Rescue is worth a scratch behind the ears!
You know Gang Beasts. You have probably played Gang Beasts. If not, you have DEFINITELY watched people play Gang Beasts.
Gang Beasts is great. But how does it hold up on the Switch? Ruddy Celestial investigates.
Despite modern-day RPGs owing most of their existence to tabletop games, it is very rare for board games migrated to PC or Console to feel that great.
That is why Dave McAdam is delighted that the board game of the moment has managed to make the leap from the table to the screen so well.
Remember when people used to gather in large groups and listen to music? Well with Festival Tycoon you can re-live the glory days of pre-2020 by camping out in the mud, losing your ID and credit card and getting food poisoning from dodgy hotdogs… Ok, it might not let you do all that but Marie Pritchard still thinks this game has promise.
October felt like it arrived out of nowhere and then left as if it lasted for three months. That means that there was also three months of news to catch up on, right?
We should check with Alex Green and see if this maths checks out.
War may never change, but video games certainly do. So that begs the question, why haven’t they managed to capture the sheer scale and brutality of conflict yet?
Well, Jamie A. Nicholas thinks that there is a game that finally has. Foxhole.
Games are full of haunted houses. Hell, one of gaming biggest franchises is just a synonym for the concept. So it might come as a surprise that video game’s greatest residence of evil is actually a spaceship. Well, At least according to Jon Simpson.
Some things just can’t be killed. Namely, co-op, wave-based, survival shooters.
Matthew John McCormick is back to let us know if Turtle Rock’s long-awaited homecoming brings new life to the genre or if it is going to be left for dead by its contemporaries.

Join Tyler Constable as he sat down with ManaVoid to discuss all things Rainbow Billy, queer representation and repurposing the art of the 1930s for something fabulous!
There is a lot to unpack here so let’s get straight into our Youtubers Life 2 review by Amy Eastland… BUT FIRST A WORD FROM OUR SPONS—
Skateboards? Birds? lo-fi beats to chill and relax to? PUNS?
In theory, Skatebird is the perfect game, so we’ve welcomed back Jon Simpson to let us know if this eyecatching indie flies high or if its wings were clipped before it could take flight.
Most of us spent our time with Bloodborne dying and cursing Miyazaki under our breath. Not Oisín Kuhnke, they were thinking about something much more… pointed.
