I love a good walk and talk. Some of my favourite television series — most notably, Star Trek The Next Generation and Buffy the Vampire Slayer — always used the technique to convey copious amounts of exposition as Picard and Riker exited a turbolift on the way to a transporter...
Update: Nine years later, and Darksiders 2 is back with THQ (Nordic) and re-released on current-gen consoles. You’ll find our original review below.
Everyone has a Mario Party story at this point, and most of them end up with the storyteller either coming from or being utterly destroyed because of some questionable Star allocations at the end. If you’re out to relive past stories, make new ones, or potentially alienate yourself from a new friendship...
It’s no secret that Diablo 4 has been going from strength to strength since its stellar launch followed shortly after by the plunge back down to Earth with a lacklustre first season. Even now there are still some who’ll turn their nose up at Vessel of Hatred, based purely on...
It’s been a long time coming, but finally a Legend of Zelda game is a legend ABOUT Zelda. Long-standing jokes about the name of the franchise aside, Link has always been the star of the show, and the “legend” about Zelda was mostly that she needed help getting out of...
The original Dead Rising was a thing of legend back in 2006. It was certainly ahead of its time, delivering an impressive amount of on-screen zombies whilst also turning heads for the amount of Xbox 360 consoles it was red ringing.

Black Myth Wukong is the latest retelling of the classic Chinese tale Journey to the West, this time developed by locals at the China-based (slightly problematic, allegedly sexist) GameScience.
I’m old enough to remember hours and hours of entertainment provided by my family’s NES console. We never had a R.O.B. or a Power Glove — but my friend Chris had both, and the only thing I remember about them both is that neither lasted very long — but we...
I was among the newcomers who propelled FromSoftware into the mainstream with the cultural revolution that was Elden Ring. I’d dabbled with Soulsbourne games before, but it never clicked. Elden Ring was different; though not immediately, so I’d encourage anyone caught up in the reinvigorated hype to give it a...
Originally released exclusively for the Switch in 2021, Shin Megami Tensei V may have been the first entry in the series many players may have even heard of. While its spin-off series Persona is much more widely known – and the two share a lot of creature and combat design...
I can’t emphasise enough how much I enjoyed the first Hellblade game. It was clear from the opening minutes of Ninja Theory’s 2017 title that every individual component of Senua’s Sacrifice was given just as much love and attention as it deserved.
