As it is the last month of the year, it’s time to look back at all the games that were released this year. 2023 has been such an incredible year for releases that many of our favourites were games that we actually forgot were release this year! Truly, we have…

Read MoreTrek To Yomi is the latest game from Devolver Digital, the developer behind the Shadow Warrior series, and the indie auteur behind The Eternal Castle. It is a darkly majestic game and one of the most distinctive artistic visions we’ve seen this year. In this video, I chat about why…
Read MoreI’m mostly just doing this video to test a new sound recording system that I’m testing – the Maonocaster E2 A. But I also have a point to make! Nintendo has opened the floodgates for fanservicey games, and while fan service is great, the Steam-like stream of absolutely terrible stuff…
