Imagine you’re playing squads in Fortnite (opens in new tab) Battle Royale with three other friends, having emerged from Tilted Towers unscathed after an intense firefight (not a realistic image, I know, but just roll with me here). You make it to Shifty Shafts and spot another team of four …

The Rain is hard to watch. A Danish drama about the end of the world, after some kind of killer virus finds its way into rain clouds, The Rain is a tricky watch not because of the subtitles or a painful English dub (opens in new tab) (thankfully), but because …

Avengers: Infinity War (opens in new tab) was long touted as ‘the end of the first chapter’ of the MCU. That meant that big changes were incoming. Far bigger changes, surely, than we’d seen during the transitions between the series’ various ‘Phases’ so far. To stand out as a true …

Westworld season 2 (opens in new tab) is very nearly here, which means it’ll soon be time to delve back into the world of the Hosts, DELOS, and questionable ethics! The only problem is – you can’t really remember everything that happened in the first season. There’s no shame in …

For me, though, it’s Burton’s $80m sequel Batman Returns (1992) that is the Bat movie with wings. I mean, how not to love a summer blockbuster so dark, twisted and …

I’ve played more Destiny 2 (opens in new tab) in the last week than in all the other weeks since Christmas combined. This recent period has also provided the most compelling fun I’ve had with the game since finishing the campaign. That’s because this has been the week of Bungie’s …

Change is in the air right now, with more innovative games finding the attention of mainstream media. In the last few years, the games I’ve been most excited about are those that break the combat-centric habits of the triple-A space; while there’s still room for games like those we’ve seen …

Dark Souls is more deserving than most games (opens in new tab) of a remaster. But how does a developer handle the weight of that responsibility? The original Dark Souls managed to be one of the greatest of all time, despite a fair number of performance issues, precisely because its …
