Indiana Jones And The Great Circle's Small Chores Are My Favourite Thing

I went into the holiday break with very ambitious gaming plans. I’d aimed to finish a few of the games I’d started in 2024 but hadn’t had the chance to, play through some smaller games in my backlog, and come back to work satisfied with the amount of gaming I’d managed to get done on my weeks off. What actually happened is I picked up myPS5controller, played for about half an hour, and realised that I’d rather be doing practically anything else....

It's Looking Like A Rough Year For Video Game Adaptations

It wasn’t until The Game Awards that I realized how great 2024 was for video game adaptations. BetweenAmazon’s Fallout,Arcane season 2, andSonic the Hedgehog 3(the latter of which was too late for TGA love), 2024 had an impressive slate of video game movies and shows - enough to help us forget about the bad ones at least (sorry, Borderlands and Yakuza fans). Thanks to the success of Sonic andThe Super Mario Bros....

Mario & Luigi: Brothership Takes A Bold Turn Into Psychologoical Horror

One of my favorite things aboutMario & Luigi: Brothershipis how it frequently plays with genre. Just when things start to feel predictable, the game hits you with a tonal shift that you’ll never see coming. It has the lava world, the ice world, and the ice and lava world, but in between that, you’ll also get the detective murder mystery world and the corporate espionage world. Yes, Brothership contains multitudes....

The trailer begins with some backstory about Steve, explaining that he was once a little boy that dreamed of becoming a miner, before one day realizing his dream and finding a doohickey that transported him to The Overworld....

Pokemon TCG Pocket Has Turned Me Into A Conspiracy Theorist

I’ve become obsessed withPokemon TCG Pocketover the past month. I’m just three cards away from completing the Genetic Apex collection (not including alternate arts, of course), I’ve got Mew, and I’ve completed every event so far. I spent a little cash and a lot of time on this game, but recently I’ve been succumbing to conspiracy theories. You see, progress has slowed. My packs are far worse than they used to be, I don’t find ex cards as often, and my Wonder Picks are always terrible....

Reading Stormlight Archive While Playing The Veilguard Makes Dragon Age Seem Generic

In Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive series, there are no elves or dwarves. Your journey isn’t guided by any wise gray-bearded wizards. The lands are free of orcs and goblins. Its setting, Roshar, has little in common with traditional fantasy worlds like Middle-Earth and its descendants, and it doesn’t draw monsters from folklore likeThe Witcher. Though Brandon Sanderson’s high fantasy series has clear inspirations, they aren’t the shared pillars that hold up much of the fantasy genre....
