The main selling point of Mekkablood: Quarry Assault to me is its UI. A dirty, greasy mecha cockpit obstructing the majority of the screen is a clever way of presenting an old-school shooter in a different aspect ratio without sacrificing the screen space provided by the modern, larger resolutions. Unfortunately, I once again had to face the sad truth that one cool idea does not a good game make. Regardless of this cool perspective, Mekkablood is just a completely dull experience.

Bioware is my favorite video game developer—a fact I realized just this year, having finished the Dragon Age trilogy. For four years straight I would replay the entire Mass Effect trilogy once a year, until the release of the Legendary Edition, when I replayed it twice. This leaves only Neverwinter Nights, Shattered Steel, MDK2, and, of course, Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood on the list of their games that I have yet to beat.

Bright. Warm. Delicious. Lazy. When it comes to capturing the best collective memories of summer vacation, nobody does it like Japan.

A TV spot for Venom: The Last Dance has revealed the strangest of all the symbiotic creations seen to date. The threequel is proud to present, as seen in the clip further below, the Venom frog. Not a typo, the venom frog. The trouble is, the frog should not look as adorable as it does. Or is that just me?

George R.R. Martin has visited the set of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight, the latest spin-off attached to the Game of Thrones universe, and despite only viewing a “rough cut” of the first episode, has revealed his love for the series. “Dunk and Egg – Peter Claffey and Dexter Sol Ansell, respectively – looked as if they just walked out of the pages of my book, and the chemistry between them was just perfect,” Martin revealed in an entry on his blog.

In 2021, Daniel Craig bowed out from the role as the eponymous James Bond, fifteen years after first taking up the mantle of 007. The twenty-fifth film in the Bond series further marked the first time an incarnation of the spy was killed off, ending Craig’s time in the series – as the character sacrificed himself to save the lives of his family and millions of innocents.

Carole Ann Ford, the last living cast member from the William Hartnell era which launched Doctor Who in 1963, remains hopeful that her character, Susan Foreman, may yet return to the sci-fi series, as the 60th anniversary of her final appearance on the show draws closer (December 26, 1964, the sixth and final serial of The Dalek Invasion of Earth, for those curious). Ford portrayed the Doctor’s granddaughter from the show’s conception in November 1963 and bowed out a little over a year later.

First-person speedrun platformers have long been a personal favorite of mine. Deeply underappreciated for a decade straight, a breakout hit finally reached a wider audience in 2022’s Neon White. For those who found it then, I would like to welcome you all. The rabbit hole goes so much deeper than you can imagine, and Hell of an Office is a hell of a good place to start.
