Upon its relatively recent reveal, New Tales from the Borderlands immediately drew me in with its familiar visuals and charm, what with the original Tales from the Borderlands being my favourite Telltale game to date.

Make no mistake; both Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy still serve as two of the best games to ever grace the PlayStation 4 console.

Let’s get this out of the way; I’m not a huge fan of golf. But in recent years, I’ve most definitely come to respect the sport. I now realise, I might never have been a huge fan in the first place, simply because I can’t swing a club to save my life. That being said,…

My past two weeks with the Asus ROG Chakram X gaming mouse have proven quite interesting.

I’ll admit right off the bat that I have very fond memories of both Destroy All Humans! games when they each released over 15 years ago.

At first glance, Live A Live feels like an older, more experienced JRPG that boldly returned to show the younger kids just how it’s done.
