I came across a section of gameplay – I won’t say where – and there was a trap. Annoyed at having come through the other side of too many fights with bugger all resources left, I thought, “Fuck it. I’m going to stand here. The infected will see me. The…
Every morning, I run a pick through my hair. It’s important that I do this when it’s still spongy and damp from the shower. Wait too long and my hair gets drier and less cooperative, making it harder to pull the comb through my natural. (Pro tip: A natural is…

And earlier Wednesday morning, EA management circled…
As America continues to struggle with the ongoing protests following the death of George Floyd, the games industry has responded with a overflowing amount of support for those calling for change. Part of that, however, has meant a shift in priorities for many. This week, that’s resulted in a lot…
Arc System Works recently shared the results of a survey taken by players of the Guilty Gear Strive closed beta. The most interesting findings come from the character request section. Players from around the world left some surprisingly uniform responses, and sadly, my favourite character is nowhere to be seen.
George Floyd was murdered by the police, and I can’t tell you how hard it’s been to work, to write, or to live since then.
Hot on the caudal fin of Tripwire Interactive’s bloody aquatic epic Maneater, Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ Northern Hemisphere summer season fills its seas with man-eating beasts. Animal Crossing’s sharks don’t actually eat people and can be caught by a single human holding a flimsy fishing pole, but that just makes…
In a twist that should surprise no-one, EB Games is having a sale. It’s a good one, too, with great deals on titles like Collection of Mana, Kingdom Hearts III, Borderlands 3 and even the entire Nintendo Labo range. There’s also the excellent Prey going for $4.98, Ni No Kuni:…

Described as a mix of Overwatch ultimates with the mechanics of Counter-Strike, Valorant has been one of the most popular shooters since its closed beta launched.

The month of June signals the beginning of summer in Animal Crossing, bringing new fish, bugs, and special recipes to the game. It also brings alpacas Cyrus and Reese to New Horizons for a month-long celebration of their wedding anniversary. They’re so damn cute.
What better way to celebrate sixty years of Sega, forty years of Pac-Man and the Yakuza games than by drinking sake.
Every month, Netflix Australia continues to grow their animated offering. There’s no major movies dropping in June for Netflix’s anime front, but it does have one showstopper: the season finale for Rick & Morty.
June is a fantastic month to be a gamer. While the onset of the novel coronavirus delayed this month’s planned E3 showcase, June is still packed with great gaming events. There’s also a bunch of great-looking games releasing for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC this month. Here’s…
If your Animal Crossing: New Horizons adventure has stalled, there’s good news. While there’s a whole bunch of rare fish and bugs you’ll need to catch in May before they disappear, June in the Southern Hemisphere is set to bring a whole swarm of new critters to your island. Here’s…
This week on Snapshots we look at some lovely sunsets, a strange monster, a cool jump, a small bird in Red Dead Redemption II, a creepy face, and spot some zombies enjoying a nice run through the dark.
In the past few days, an alarming headline has made the rounds: “Half of Fox News viewers think Bill Gates is using pandemic to microchip them, survey suggests.” This idea is nonsense, of course, but coronavirus conspiracy theories have spread almost like the virus itself across the meticulously calibrated algorithmic…
I took Minecraft Dungeons for a spin earlier on our Twitch channel and was joined by my good friend Chase Carter! We broke down how the game works and fought our way through hordes of enemies in various levels. Check out the video to see us play some online co-op.
A couple of days ago, I wrote a piece about how hard it is to find a Nintendo Switch. With the covid-19 outbreak temporarily halting production of the console in China, to scalpers seizing the opportunity to buy up and flip the Switch for usurious prices, nary a Switch is…

It’s been a real busy week in games, but there’s also been a ton of interesting free games pushed out recently. We don’t spend a lot of time on those – well, Amazon’s flailing investment aside – so for today’s stream, we’re going Steam diving.
It’s been wet, windy and cold as all buggery for most of the week in Sydney. So even though the isolation lid is starting to lift, it’s still a better time than ever for video games, especially with some of the bangers that have dropped lately.

Cloud gaming is regularly touted as the next frontier for gaming, but over the last few months cloud gaming services have run into nothing but trouble.
