Video by Matt S. I do love Zen Studios’ Pinball FX3. It’s been a bit of a busy couple of months, so I’ve had to put my pinballing on the backburner, but being the big fan of bad B-tier horror and science fiction that I am, I couldn’t resist checking…

Art Game/Death Stranding/Hideo Kojima/PlayStation 4/Sony PlayStation 4/Video/Video review

Video by Matt S. Death Stranding is Sony’s big game for this critical end-of-year season. It’s also the biggest risk that Sony has taken in quite some time; a real creative vision and work of art from Hideo Kojima, formerly of Konami and Metal Gear Solid fame. Just how polarising…

Review by Matt S. I’m going to start this review with a personal comment: I don’t think there has ever been a game that is more difficult to review than Hideo Kojima’s ego sandbox… I mean Death Stranding. It’s a game where almost its entire worth is wrapped up within…

Review by Matt S. Dusk Diver was released in the wrong part of the year. Given some space away from the half dozen other, excellent, JRPGs and other big releases that have come over the last month, Dusk Diver would have grabbed some attention for its cool aesthetic and lighthearted…

Video by Harvard L. Kingsway is an odd little game, but a very creative one indeed. It’s an RPG in which you play through an operating system. Enemies are pop-ups, quests are emails. Honestly, an operating system has never been more interesting or fun. Harvard continues his series of let’s…

Why I can’t review Call of Duty Modern Warfare

October 30, 2019

Activision/Call of Duty/Call of Duty: Modern Warfare/FPS/Opinion/propaganda/war/war game

Opinion by Matt S. I cannot make myself play the recently-released Call of Duty: Modern Warfare any longer. And I cannot review it. It is a piece of jingoistic, military hero worship propaganda, and the way that it blatantly re-writes history in order to prop up an aggressively nationalistic perspective…
