I’m very happy to be one of the first to grab the PlayStation 5 having successfully pre-ordered it back at the initial announcement! I picked my system up from my local EB Games on launch day with an additional DualSense controller and Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition. I also ordered the Pulse 3D headphones and […]

Parenthood, nostalgia and the Sega Mega Drive Mini – a Dad’s perspective
The Sega Mega Drive Mini came out around two months ago at the time I’m writing this. It’s been an unexpectedly interesting experience too. While I’ve snapped up and had a great time with the NES Classic and SNES Classic mini consoles, the Sega Mega Drive Mini has presented a unique experience both as a […]
Square Enix recreates iconic Final Fantasy VII Artwork
In celebration of the 22nd anniversary of Final Fantasy VII’s North American release, Square Enix has recreated one of the game’s most iconic artworks. In the remade image, additional details and colours pop anew as Cloud stands before the Shinra building, one hand resting on the hilt of his sword as green fumes of mako […]
Review: Metal Slug 1 OST (Vinyl)
Metal Slug drew all sorts of excitement when the series hit arcades in the ’90s on SNK’s fan-favourite Neo Geo platform. Nazca’s legendary development on the iconic visual splendour and awesome run and gun gameplay have been the focus of all sorts of fan discussion over the years, but with this release from Data Discs […]
Video: SNES Mini – First Impressions
You know how the internet got all excited at the end of September about the SNES Mini? Well, we did too… except real life got in the way, so here’s a belated nerdtastic look at an hour of messing around with the Australian release of the SNES Mini! You can keep up with our YouTube […]
Red Dead Redemption 2 Trailer Release

Serving as a prequel to the 2010 Red Dead Redemption, the new addition to the series tells the story of Arthur Morgan, an outlaw part of the Van der Linde gang who robs and fights his way across America. […]
Review: Sonic Mania OST (Vinyl)
Sonic Mania’s captured a fair share of love on the internet and certainly stole our collective hearts away, leaving a gushing initial playthrough in its wake, but in addition to a great presentation and razor-sharp gameplay, its soundtrack performs an amazing job of revisiting classic tracks and creating new ones to accompany the additional levels […]
Video: Sonic Mania – First Impressions
I’m genuinely amazing we’ve had two amazing trips back to Sega’s glory years in 2017 – first Wonderboy, now Sonic. The result of an uber-collaboration between Christian Whitehead, Headcannon and PagodaWest Games, Sonic Mania is pure class – or at least the first 40 minutes of gameplay is! It’s so glorious we thought we’d share […]
Review: Altered Beast OST (Vinyl)
Altered Beast roared into arcades on Sega’s mighty System 16 arcade platform in 1988 before famously joining the Mega Drive as a pack-in title at launch. The game has copped plenty of criticism over the years for its simple gameplay, but to be honest I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for it. Cutting […]
Video: Smashing Hard Mode in WonderBoy: The Dragon’s Trap
So I’m a little obsessed with the WonderBoy: The Dragon’s Trap remake on the PS4 (I embarrassingly gushed over it in a previous video), so much so that I’ve put together a quick video going through my thoughts on how to work through the game’s Hard Mode if you’re a bit of an average gamer […]
