Since a little before Covid started wrecking the place I have been going on a bender collecting old gameboys. Primarily I just wanted one of each kind. I’m currently missing the Advance Micro and the standard Advance. My SP is pretty ratty, so maybe another one of those would be good as well. With these…
Mass Effect. Its mere mention is enough to unearth old arguments. The series began as a pioneer for interactive storytelling, standing on the back of Knights of the Old Republic, the studio’s previous SciFi RPG that was critically acclaimed by more than just die-hard Star Wars fans. But Mass Effect was another step entirely, with…
I like digging up surprise hits from old games. You’d think a franchise like Mario would already have been picked entirely dry. The reverence some people pay this little shit is borderline gross. I guess growing up in a place that didn’t have a massive market penetration of Nintendo meant I missed out a little…
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…
A lot of ink has been spilled over how great the simulation of the entire earth is in Flight Simulator 2020, but how quickly does it update? Well it uses Bing Maps as it’s primary data source which updates every 28 days. It also uses up to the minute weather and air traffic data. So…
