Oh boy. Video game adaptations have a tendency to crash and burn, don’t they? Unless you’re Sonic. I have a few favourites, but I’m in the minority; I love the Need for Speed movie, and the original Tomb Raider from 2001 (although that’s more nostalgia than anything else.)I’ve joked that I’d like to cast Tom Holland as the hapless Glen, but in all seriousness, I think he’d be awesome. I hear he’s ...

You set a build in motion with zero bugs, grinning with child-like delight as your pixelated paradise floods the screen.That being said, there are challenges - occasionally.

This is painfully slow; many a player has screamed at their PC as the reboot process moves like a glacier, on a snail, in slow-mo.You’re in a rush, it’s life and death, there isn’t a moment to spare… but the machine insis...

Hey! It's time to start our Retail Therapy. But first things first...Pixel Art... Why Pixel Art?!It is no secret that indie devs go for retro-style games because they are easier. There is no 3D modelling, no ray-tracing, and no YouTube videos with commentators sucking through their teeth when the title dips to 30 fps instead of 60.
