There’s been a trend when it comes to E3 during the past years: More and more game announcements are leaked days or even weeks before the actual show is happening. For this year’s E3, several games have been leaked already: A new version of Skyrim is coming, Watchdogs 2 was leaked via ads on Twitch, […]

While most people are interested in what the NX actually turns out to be, there’s another topic I’ve been thinking about a lot recently. Would it make sense for Nintendo to release a stand-alone Virtual Console? Ever since the Wii came out, Nintendo has started to capitalize even more on its own past and released […]

The Wii was a hugely successful system for which many great mainstream games were created. But for each Mario Galaxy or Wii Sports, there were a dozen weird little titles that didn’t have a broad appeal and didn’t get the recognition they deserved. That’s what this little series called “Wii-rd Games” is all about: The […]

A lot has been written these days about fandom: How it’s toxic behaviour damages what I’d call the geek culture overall. With each passing outrage, be it over Captain America, reviews for a videogame or just reporting on them, I feel more and more detached from a community that I’d call my home – at […]

Miitomo saw a huge start when it launched. It reached millions of download very quickly, shot into the top download charts in many countries and it was all the rage on other social media.

Of all the movies that I watched religiously during my childhood, the Super Mario Bros. movie always stood out a bit.

  Marketing can make or break a game’s success. But this trailer for Mighty No. 9 has already spawned quite some negative reactions. Now, I’ve already written about the past of this game, but in case you’re new to this: After a really successful Kickstarter campaign, the game got pushed back several times and thanks […]

In this article, I’m going to analyse how Uncharted 4: A thief’s End deals with the past, nostalgia and how it relates to the overall theme and future of the series. As this angle already might suggest, there are big spoilers ahead, so if you haven’t played the game to completion, you might want to […]

First-Person-Shooter, RPGs, strategy, simulation, idle games: The number of genres striving right now is amazing. It almost seems like there’s something for everybody. But there’s a genre that has practically disappeared in the last few years: Lightgun games! But why is practically nobody making those classic arcade staples anymore? Back in the days when there […]

I’m relatively new to the Uncharted games: I only got recently into the series when I bought and played the Collection on PS4. I had a blast while playing it and was looking forward to the fourth and final game. Now, I’m a couple of hours into the fourth instalment and I want to share […]
