    I really enjoyed Blasphemous and happily grabbed Blasphemous 2 when it came out, but I couldn't even finish it. I'm not sure why, I just got really bored about halfway through and couldn't be bothered. I might go back to it someday, but I think the general consensus is that it wasn't quite as...

    Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026)

    Trailer's fine, I always thought the memory wipe arc was a mistake anyway. I'm no expert on Spider-Man comics, but when I think Spider-Man I like to think of a fun quip-throwing acrobatic super hero, not a kid / young man depressed, miserable and self-loathing. The world need less super hero...

    Stargate SG-1

    Clearly the solution is to take the Expanse team and send them on SG-1 missions in an entirely new show.

    Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (2026)

    The problem about this idea of putting those franchises on ice for 20 years... who will even care then? Most kids these days never read comics or read books. Most haven't seen Star Wars stuff except what came out in recent years maybe, and to them it's just a pew-pew space vroom bunch of moving...

    If you're just rushing through the levels, I'd say Yoshi is probably 10 hours tops (maybe a lot less because I'm not sure if you unlock worlds 11 and 12 without having completed a lot of the earlier worlds). You do need a certain number of stars to unlock new worlds, and stars are earned from...

    Stargate SG-1

    Not to go too off-topic, but I wonder sometimes if Amazon will bring back The Expanse in a few years with the actors older to do the post time-skip final books. Ending the show after the Marco arc wasn't particularly satisfying.

    What are you playing?

    I also recently played Shinobi : Art of Vengeance. It's available on PS4/PS5, Xbox, Switch 1/2 and PC. It was made by the same team that did the excellent Streets of Rage 4, with beautiful drawn graphics, smooth animations and responsive gameplay. I enjoyed Streets of Rage 4 but Shinobi Art...

    Finally finished Yoshi & the Mysterious Book. As I said in my early impressions, it's a very cute and whimsical game and it didn't look very deep in the early previews and announcement videos. However, it took me over 50 hours to 100% it, there's a LOT of levels (you have six worlds with six...

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    I don't really watch any streamers, or rather not their streams, I'll watch on Youtube after the fact usually. I generally close the chat window because I too find it insufferable, but it depends on the game too, and some channels have a really slow casual chat that's not full of obnoxious...

    Nintendo Switch 1 and 2

    I agree it was very frustrating, but part of me also thinks it made me play the game differently and made it a bit more interesting and challenging because I'm usually the kind of guy that uses one weapon for a whole game or at least a small selection of weapons/items, but BOTW's weapon system...

    Nintendo Switch 1 and 2

    BOTW was Myamoto being blown away by Skryim and wanting to make his own version of it in the Zelda universe. The end result came too late to break any new ground and it had some features that made it both frustrating (weapons breaking as mentioned) and not really feel like a Zelda game (little...

    Nintendo Switch 1 and 2

    I've been thinking for years they should re-release A Link Between Worlds on Switch using the same engine they made Link's Awakening and Echoes of Wisdom with. I'd also like A Link to the Past with the same engine, but the art style of SNES pixels hasn't aged a day, I still find it beautiful.

    Nintendo Switch 1 and 2

    You may not have liked Metroid Dread, but the same studio also did Samus Returns, a very good Metroid 2 remake on 3DS. That's more what I had in mind when I said give them the Zelda 2 remake personally. As for Ocarina of Time, I played the 3DS version and it was indeed an upscaled remaster...

    Nintendo Switch 1 and 2

    Ocarina of Time remake sounds like an obvious money printing machine (and it WILL print money), but I'll admit I'm not sure what I want from it. If they're going for a 1 to 1 remake with modern graphics, then the game will be done in a few hours because every Zelda fan has played it dozens of...
