The legend of Petscop never ceases to confuse me. If you haven’t heard of this weird blip in internet history, it’s probably for good reason. This horror series was created by Tony Domenico eight years ago and sees a strange protagonist, Paul, traverse each layer of the game, uncovering more dark and unnerving secrets as…
Readers, a confession: I am one of a cohort of people the scientific community is calling ‘sicko freaks.’ That is to say that, from an early age, I’ve enjoyed the process of hoarding and reading RPG sourcebooks without ever actually, you know, playing them. For this, I blame the many Vampire: The Masquerade 2nd edition…
“We wanted to sort of incorporate everything”. We’ve already been chatting excitedly about Lego’s very lovely Game Boy set. It’s absolutely one of the best things they’ve put out in a while and, to celebrate the launch, two of Lego’s designers, Carl Merriam and Simon Kent, have been chatting with those fine folks over at…
“There’s something special about holding a game in your hands”. A new 2D shooter is aiming to recapture the spirit of gaming’s “golden age”, and it’s been created by Hasraf ‘HaZ’ Dulull, a film, TV and game cinematics director who has worked on movie projects like Prince of Persia, The Chronicles of Narnia and The…
‘Galaga’, ‘Pac-Man’, ‘Dig Dug’, and ‘Xevious’. Plaion Replai has announced it has obtained a license from Bandai Namco to reissue four classic Namco games on physical cartridges for the Atari 2600+, Atari 7800, and Atari 7800+. The collection of titles includes the Pac-Man Double Feature which contains an all-new, arcade-style version of Pac-Man for the…
“It was a truly exciting concept”. Japan’s obsession with RPGs might lead you to assume that the genre has been part of the country’s video game history since the industry began, but that isn’t the case. Prior to the release of Henk Rogers’ The Black Onyx in 1984, role-playing games were practically alien to Japan,…

I have only one principle, and it’s this: never skip a cutscene on a first playthrough. It’s served me well my whole life except for that four hours at the end of Death Stranding, and I’ll keep to it until I die. But maybe I’ve been missing out, because it turns out that if you…
“The word came to me in the end, and the visuals”. We’ve seen some truly iconic logos in the history of video gaming. Sega’s timeless typography is instantly recognisable, and I still miss the classic Konami ‘bacon strips’ logo. However, perhaps my favourite logo of all time is that of Psygnosis, the Liverpool-based company which…
I’m a pretty avid explorer in Minecraft, and that’s been the case since I started playing in early 2012. But, if there’s one place I actively avoid visiting, it’s the vast expanse of ocean you always come across in the world. No matter how hard I try, it gets to a certain point where I…
