"Why Did You Want To Become a Games Journalist?" My class was asked this question in a charming first-year university discussion about the purpose of journalism. At first, it may seem like a huge topic. To answer that you have to first understand what journalism is. What does it mean to be game…

FPS Games
FPS games have been extremely popular ever since the emergence of classics like Wolfenstein and DOOM. It’s been 25 years and the genre has grown exponentially since its humble beginnings. The wide variety of choices available now can feel a little overwhelming for many. Well, there's no need to worry. I'm here…
Pokemon Sword & Shield
It's the season of leaks in the video game industry. We went into Blizzcon pretty much knowing everything Blizzard had to show. Similarly, a massive leak just dropped about Pokemon Sword & Shield revealing tons of new information. Of course, avoid this article if you want to experience Sword and Shield…
Fallout 76
Fallout 76 has gone down in the history books for all of the wrong reasons. Bethesda promised so much for their newest Fallout game but just about every promise has been broken. Their latest announcement of Fallout 1st feels like the final straw in an ongoing series of betrayals.
Furthermore, it doesn't look…

Ten years later, this number usually sits around just 80,000. So, what went wrong? This is a tale of development mistakes and a refusal to…
Borderlands 3 Review
Borderlands 3 Review. Borderlands is Gearbox's signature franchise. For many, Borderlands 2 became a cult classic FPS when it was released in 2012. A great co-op experience in a time when co-op game development seemed to be drying up. A sequel felt inevitable. 2K Australia gave us Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel two years…
Videogame Industry
Fans were outraged when they finally got the chance to play NBA 2K20 last week. 2K Social Media manager Ronnie Singh had promised several game-changing features leading up to launch. However, almost none of them appeared in the final product. Even now neither Ronnie or 2K have addressed these lies or even given…
