The New Year is upon us. Filled with possibility, 2025 could see new highs and lows hit our industry. Here are just a few we can see happening. For the first time in a while, 2025 feels like it can stand alone without reference to Covid. While the last couple of years have been chocked full of delayed titles, this year seems quieter somehow. Then again, we’ve said that before. While there may not be the bulk of anticipated titles…

For the second year in a row, I’m writing a gaming round-up that will feel less about the games and more about the industry. Unfortunately there’s no escaping that in 2024. After a packed 2023, this year felt like it had the potential to be a bit quieter. Not the case. Release after release came and went. Nearly 19,000 games released on Steam. A few of them were successful. But most people weren’t playing new games. For all the releases…

It’s (probably) almost here! The successor to the mighty Nintendo Switch will be in hands within the next six months – providing of course that Nintendo ever decide to announce it. Excuse the bitterness. I’ve spent the last three years recommending the Switch, but with the caveat that a new one is on the horizon. We’ve seen pictures of it (mostly from Chinese accessory makers, such as the one above), we’ve got details of the hardware inside, we even have…

RIKI 8Bit Game Collection brings a ton of music games to the platform in one package, but can some great music overpower lacking gameplay?

Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: Rita’s Reward is available now! Check out the launch trailer along with our thoughts. Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: Rita’s Reward is now available for all consoles and PC. I absolutely love the look of this game. The cool animated cutscenes, the side scrolling brawling, the shooting sections and of course the awesome first person Zoid fighting! The game looks so authentic to the original Power Rangers series. The kid in me is so excited to check…

I played Epic Mickey on the Wii and liked it a lot. And now the game is on the Nintendo Switch. What do I think of it on the system? Let’s talk about Epic Mickey Rebrushed! Epic Mickey originally appeared on the Nintendo Wii. I believe it was exclusive to the system and didn’t appear anywhere else. It featured Wii remote controls for the paint and thinner aspects of the game. It was a fun game despite some minor performance…

You saw it when the Game Awards announced its top nominees for 2024. There, hidden amongst AAA games from big name publishers. You saw the comments. “Balatro? Haven’t heard of it. Why the hell are they including a card game?” And frankly, it’s lucky for all involved that the Elden Ring DLC became a lighting rod for the really negative conversation this year. People got to take out their frustration on something not directly related to the games for the…
