Over the holidays, I was lucky enough to get my hands on the Oculus Quest 2, which is the perfect way to pacify teenage nephews and terrifying toddler nieces. The Facebook produced VR headset currently stands as the best in class for standalone VR use. It’s almost shockingly easy to pick up and play compared…
Very occasionally I find myself in the mood for a schlocky B-Grade action movie. A Shadow in the Cloud ticks all these boxes and adds a few more boxes just for fun, those being: creature feature & Thriller. You’ll see two sorts of reviews for this movie out there, those are “this movie is ridiculous!…
I was lucky enough to be invited to a screener of Earwig and the Witch, and tardily release this review weeks after it released to what few cinemas could operate in this Covid infested world. The movie is Studio Ghibli’s first 3D outing, and as such they had to put their best foot forward and…
I drafted this shit before new years, and that’s all come and gone now, but better late than never right? I have to say, in general 2020 was a great year for me. There was plenty of anxiety during the initial lockdowns that I may not have a job coming out the other end, but…
I have been waiting for Cyberpunk 2077 for 8 years now. When I started waiting for Cyberpunk 2077 the fanboys hyping it’s release were still damp from their own birth. I have been waiting for Cyberpunk 2077 since before there was any reason to believe it was even going to be any good. Witcher 3…
So you started Genshin Impact a couple weeks ago, and you had a real blast. You opened all the chests in the world and you were swimming in XP scrolls. You thought the fun would never end. You leveled every single one of the new characters you pulled with all those free primogems to 40.…
I was pretty eager to play Genshin Impact leading up to it’s launch after I saw an announcement maybe last year regarding it’s development. There was little to no mainstream coverage of it apart from Youtuber MMObytes who was happy to plug it at any given opportunity. For some reason MMO sites were the only…
A month ago, Sustainable Coastlines released a video game called Pick Up Quick! in collaboration with Playstation. The game allows people to virtually clean litter from Kiwi coastlines in Nelson and Kapiti Island and was populated using data from real beach cleanups. Seems simple, right? Well, it is. But it’s also gained a bunch…
Good VR games are rare, rarer still are decent introductory experiences to scrub VR users who are looking for a quick experience to get up and started with. Vetrix covers all those bases, and it’s only NZ$8 so you’ve got no excuse not to pick it up. It’s dressed up like the original gameboy version…
I can’t help but write breathless clickbaity style titles for shit I really dig, and Diabotical is definitely one of my dug shits. Recently I’ve been exploring current Arena shooters out, Unreal Tournament 4 is dead in the water after it’s dev team got gutted to go work on what would later become the Fortnite…
