Just like the rest of my fellow tea-swilling, fish-and-chip-eating, monarchy-having Brits, I bloody loveWorms. Although the original games that kicked off the nation’s Invertebrate fever released far before my time,Team17’s classic strategy games were still a large part of my childhood,even if my uncultured younger self believed that Worms 3D was the best one. I’ve mercifully grown up in the 21 years since that horrible opinion was formed, which means that I now agree with everyone thatWorms Armageddonis the series at its absolute peak, even if it doesn’t have all of the bells and whistles that later games added....

Quick Links When you learn that a large part ofYs X: Nordic’sgameplay is taking your ship from one island to another and roaming the open waters, fishing might be one of the first things that come to mind. Though you won’t be doing a lot of fishing in this game while on the sea since most fish are found on islands themselves. The game also has a handy system to help you finish your collection, which not only gives you various rewards but also lets you make some penguins happy....

Quick Links Fortniteis embracing the spooky season with Fortnitemares, transforming parts of the map with Halloween-themed decor.

WithThe Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Powermultiple seasons deep in its quest to the bottom of Amazon’s money silo, it would make sense that lots of viewers might be itching to find that same vibe outside of the show itself. J.R.R. Tolkien’s vast world of Middle-earth is very much worth exploring after all, constant wars and orc attacks notwithstanding. Sure, there areThe Lord of the Ringsmovies. But why sit down for 12 hours of film when you could power through several hundred hours of gaming instead?...

Summary Dead Rising Deluxe Remastersadly doesn’t address Dead Rising 3’s retcon of Nick Ramos being one of the orphans on Carlito’s list, choosing to ignore it altogether. Ever since Capcom announced thatDead Risingwould be, ahem,rising from its grave and getting a strangely titled remake, fans have wondered just how much of the original game was going to be changed around. We’ve seen plenty of examples of the tweaks that have been made to gameplay, but there was one story element that the community has been talking about....

Summary Despite removing the reward for taking risque photos,Dead Rising Deluxe Remasterhasn’t changed how the infamous Cheryl’s Request scoop plays out. AlthoughDead Rising Deluxe Remaster mostly stays very true to the original 2006 releaseand just makes someminor gameplay tweaks to make it less frustrating, it does make some changes to the game’s content. The biggest change, and one that hasn’t gone down well with fans, is theremoval of PP points for taking risque photos of zombies and humans....

Summary Ready to feel old? Bungie’sDestinylaunched ten years ago today. The space-based online shooter has since gone on to become one of the most popular series in gaming, with countless evolutions and expansions hitting the first game and Destiny 2. Destiny Is Ten Years Old It started with a tweet. Destiny’s launch actually started ten years ago yesterday, when the officialBungieTwitter accountsimply tweeted, “Destiny servers are live,” and the rest is history....

Astro Botis the current frontrunner for Game of the Year. It currently has recency bias in its favour, launching just last week, but with its universal appeal and sky-high critical rating, I still think it’s the favourite by a decent margin. Naturally, some people disagree with Astro Bot being seen as the pinnacle of gaming, and - get this - that’s completely fine. The issue is we have deified Game of the Year to such a level that, even for people with no connection to any of the games nominated, it has become oddly personal....

Disneyhas done some strange things in its time, butEpic Mickeyhas to be in the top five,right next to the topless woman in The Rescuersandpretty much everything to do with Song of the South. Mickey Mouse has had some wild video game adventures before, but the wildest is the Nintendo Wii exclusive that’s set in a dark, depressing world that exclusively stars characters the House of Mouse has abandoned. Throw in a bizarre morality system and the creator of Deus Ex at the helm, andEpic Mickey feels like a game that could have never been made....

Quick Links The Saga games have always had a unique approach to character progression. Needless to say,Romancing Saga 2: Revenge of the Sevenhas a similarly off-beat approach to leveling. And it wouldn’t be a Saga game if that approach wasn’t utterly opaque and consistently baffling. However, that’s why I’m here. I ran a series of tests and was able to get, what I believe to be, a complete understanding of how leveling works in Romancing Saga 2....

Summary If you owneda mobile phoneback in 2013, chances are you had Flappy Bird installed.It was a viral sensation at the time, covered by practically every popular online content creator out there, and even some news channels. However, its popularity was pretty short-lived, ascreator Dong Nguyen delisted the game in February 2014after claiming that its runaway successwas ruining his “simple life.” Ever since, Flappy Bird has been unavailable to download, and phones that still had the game installed became collectors items....
