God Of War Ragnarök Director ‘Would Love’ To Take A Swing At Castlevania
22.11.2022
God of War Ragnarök just came out, and yet, there appears to be some hopefulness around the action-adventure game getting DLC. 2018's God of War didn’t get any sort of expansion after launch, so why this follow-up would when it’s supposed to conclude the rebooted series is a little odd....

There Could’ve Been A GTA Film With Eminem, But Rockstar Was Like ‘Nah’
15.11.2022

That New Sonic Game Is A Weird, Lonely Mess (That I Can’t Stop Playing)
10.11.2022
Usually, you play a few hours of a game and you can confidently give your thoughts on it. Not a full review or anything, but you can usually say, “Oh yeah, that’s a good one” or “Nah, pass, it’s awful” or something like that. But not Sonic Frontiers. A few hours in and I’m not sure at all what...

Kratos Finally Admits He Was A Dick To God Of War’s Long-Suffering NPC
9.11.2022
In the new God of War games, Kratos is more mature and less angry. But before he was the Dad of War, he was a big asshole willing to kill anyone or let people die—often in horrible ways—if it meant he could continue his quest. And one poor soul, a nameless boat captain, encountered the terrible...
God Of War Ragnarök's NPCs Actually React To Kratos Looting Everything And It's Amazing
9.11.2022
In most video games it’s just expected that the main character will run around breaking pots and ransacking every locked chest in the never-ending pursuit of more loot. This has been a running joke among gamers for as long as I can remember, and most of the time the people in the game don’t comment...

Metal Gear Solid 2 Gets A Whole New Perspective With Third-Person Camera Mod
8.11.2022
I am obligated to report that Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty is over 20 years old. I may not want to think about that, but here we are. The original visual aesthetic has a wonderful PS2-era charm that I think has become rather endearing in its age. But that hasn’t stopped one modder from...

God Of War: Ragnarök Makes An Important Change To Boss Fights
4.11.2022
There are few more divisive issues in modern gaming than boss fights. I’d have thought that a ridiculous claim to make had I not been on the receiving end of literal death threats for previously suggesting boss fights should be skippable. So there’s no doubt there will be a combination...
