Somehow, we’re only two weeks into April. A lot has happened! I’m introducing a new feature called Triple Threat, where I pick and discuss three topics. For the premiere, here are my thoughts on Marathon, Blue Prince, and the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal. No Zombies? How diverse. I am working on a Shattered Veil video review, which will be out …

Predicting the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct
Years and years of speculation are nearly over; we’re roughly 24 hours out from the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct. I’ve been anticipating an upgrade to the Switch since the Switch Pro/OLED fiasco, so it’s about damn time! The upside of waiting so long is that I’ve saved the odd £20 here and there for the past 3 or 4 years. …
Predicting the Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal (if it happens)
Now, at the end. Is it time? If the latest rumours are accurate, Nintendo will FINALLY reveal the successor to the Nintendo Switch tomorrow. I’ve been vocal in my disappointment over Nintendo’s 2024.

I still enjoy most of Nintendo’s first-party output, and the Nintendo …
The Game Awards 2023 – Picks & Predictions
It’s awards season! And there’s no better way to kick it off than The Game Awards, a show that I consistently enjoy despite not always being the most entertaining. Geoff Keighley has stuck with his vision for TGA and evolved the show into a slickly produced showcase of the past year full of exciting announcements, random celebrity appearances and the …
We’re All Drowning in Video Games. It’s a Nice Feeling.
It’s been an overwhelming year for video games — and it’s not finished yet! October and November are rammed with games from across the genres releasing on an almost daily basis. We’ve even had some titles delayed until next year to escape the madness, like the Alone in the Dark remake starring Jodie Comer and David Harbour, and some delayed …
