I’ve long hoped someone would create a site like this. And now it exists.
It’s called Point & Clickbait, and it’s the video game parody website we’ve long deserved. It’s the creation of ex-Games.on.net Editor Tim Colwill.
Games.on.net closed down recently, and I was fairly gutted. Not just because I was a fan of the site and Tim’s work, but mainly because I thought I might have seen the last of his brilliant parody articles.
Articles like, Ubisoft Game: The Review or 10 numbers that you won’t believe are less than 11.
Heading to games.on.net on April Fools day was a proper, proper adventure.
Thankfully, Tim’s awesome satirical mind has found a new home on Point & Clickbait, a site he launched today complete with a ridiculous amount of #content.
It’s pretty great. I’ve spent way, way too much time reading this site today.
Here are a few of my favourites so far…
But really, almost every story on this site is filled with nuggets of pure gold. Well worth checking out.

I’m in.
That’s all I needed to read too.
I read all the articles earlier and now I’m sad that there’s nothing left to read
Me too T_T
Finally, something more useful to set as my home page than ismycomputeron.com
Just visited that site, my computer was on. Phew.
seems really well done even seems to have a fake back catalouge of articles dating back past 2013.
Fairly sure that the older articles were ones that Tim published on GON and published date matches when they were published there.
I really was hoping the salami link at the bottom of the Destiny patch notes was a real link he did with Bungie
Bugger, didn’t know gon had gone.
Awesome. That is all.
Esports Express has existed for way longer, but is mostly Dota, CS Go, League focused, but still fuckign hilarious
YAY! I was hoping that all of the games.on.net team moved on to bigger and better things. This is great! 🙂
I thought that’s what p4rgaming was already.
Yeah, P4R has been round since 2012 too.
Huh, I had no idea it was that recent.
Yeah I was surprised, Ive been reading since 2013, but didnt realise it was 2012 they started. Love that site.
Came here to mention this. P4RGaming is great.
Wait… I thought Kotaku was The Onion of video games (kidding Mark, put the knife down!)
HAHAHAHAHA
*Serrels mutters*
“Well I know what’s going in my porridge next, @mase…”
(Completely innocent laughter….somewhat akin to a 5 year old childs…..not maniacal at all…..)
Dammit, I came here to post exactly that!
Dang, I did too. Well played
If I have one criticism here, “just got their own version of the onion”?
The articles on the site go back to 2012!
They don’t even have a favicon yet! Still, a good site…
Mm. I haven’t frequented a satirical fake news site for games since Squad Nuclear Slug (which was really Half-Life-focused).
