28 Days Later is a film I hold near and dear to my heart. Danny Boyle’s horror classic came onto the scene in 2002 and single-handedly revitalized zombie cinema with its lo-fi approach to the end of the world, turning lumbering undead corpses into ferocious monsters willing to run marathons in pursuit of human flesh. Creatures driven by nothing but pure, unbridled Rage. It terrified, intrigued, and inspired me as a child, and two decades later it still does....

While parkour in Assassin’s Creed was originally a sort of mini-puzzle where you had to shimmy around buildings looking for ways to advance - recent games have simplified the formula, allowing you to vertically scale surfaces to your heart’s content....

I’ve been putting offBalatroall year. As our own Stacey Henley recently wrote,it was due to it being a game all about poker. I’m not a card player, and don’t have the attention span most of the time to learn and remember a bunch of rules, especially when it comes to a handful of cards I’ll need to memorise in order to come out on top. But in Balatro, that doesn’t matter....

Quick Links Call of Duty: Black Ops 6has a wide range of weapons to choose from, including fast-firing SMGs, devastating shotguns, and bolt-action sniper rifles. The Tsarkov 7.62 is a semi-auto marksman rifle that acts closer to a sniper rifle, capable of one-tapping opponents with a well-placed headshot. If you can build this weapon for accuracy, you can easily top the scoreboard in Multiplayer with easy one-hit kills. It’s also a solid Zombies weapon, provided you use the right attachments and keep your distance....

Venusaur is an absolute tank in the video games, boasting decent bulk and a variety of ways to heal. It’s no different inPokemon TCG Pocket, where Venusaur ex boasts excellent HP and some of the best recovery in the game.

Backed by an Exeggutor ex to tank early hits and swing for early KOs, as well as tons of extra HP recovery, it’s certain to leave your opponents frustrated....

Summary Can you believe how fast time flies? It’s been 25 years since the Nintendo 64, PlayStation 1, and Sega Dreamcast dominated the video game market. 3D games were still in their early stages, online play was brand new, and you still had to blow into cartridges to get them to work. It doesn’t feel that long ago, yet here we are, a quarter of a century later. The year 2000 was fantastic for video games....

Summary Call of Duty: Black Ops 6players have been sharing clips of themselves running around as pianos and furniture, so that can only mean one thing. Prop Hunt has been added to Black Ops 6with the game’s latest update, a fun little mode that sees players disguise themselves as random bits of scenery, while another team has to hunt them down and take them out.
