You may be wondering what new grounds Nintendo could explore with Splatoon 3, especially when Splatoon 2 is already such a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I was too.

Hussy Hicks are one of the hardest working bands going around. And one of the most entertaining. With incredible guitar work from Julz Parker and the dynamic Leesa Gentz on lead vocals, their indie root n blues act is always a standout. It’s fair to say that 2022 has been a tough year for them….

For the premium price point, Asus have packed in a bunch of quality features, including a wealth of customisable options and a sturdy design.

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. I don’t know if it was the satirical humour, wacky gameplay mechanics or both, that drew me into the admittedly insane premise. That being said, I had doubts about…

Some would say it was only a matter of time, but we say, it’s about time!

Aside from third party controllers…

Staring off this year’s Gamescom with a bang, Gamescom Opening Night Live showed off a bunch of new and upcoming games that we simply can’t wait to get our hands on. That being said, we thought we would round up 5 of our favourite trailers form the stream and why we can’t wait for each…

I’m admittedly giddy writing this, as the first Tales from the Borderlands game is in my mind, a criminally underrated classic and arguably the best Borderlands game. That being said, someone at 2K of Gearbox Software must have caught on, as New Tales from the Borderlands looks to breathe new life into the franchise. Revealed…

At minimum, PC punters are hankering for the exact marvellous…

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.
