Uncharted 2: Among Thieves – Retrospective

After the release of Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune in 2007, developer Naughty Dog greenlit a sequel to be released for the holiday season of 2009. With the foundations of the new franchise outlined by the first game, Naughty Dog now had to build on those foundations to deliver a sequel perfecting their vision of a playable summer blockbuster. This adventure takes Nathan Drake away from the lush green jungles of the Amazon, on a larger adventure over the Frozen Himalayas. With new characters, a much longer story and new bombastic playable action set pieces. A Vision Realised Set two years after the Uncharted: Drake Fortune, Among Thieves throws Nathan Drake on a new adventure in search of the Chintamani stone. This game continues a similar tone to the original, a fun swashbuckling adv...

Now that PowerWash Simulator 2 is in the hands of players around the globe, fans are soaking in the relaxing rhythm of blasting away dirt with high-pressure water.

Furthermore, the sequel takes everything that made the first game a surprise hit and makes it even better.

Metal Gear Solid: The Orange Box TUBBZ (First Edition) Review

Now you may remember last month I shared a news piece about the opening of pre-orders for the The Metal Gear Solid: The Orange Box TUBBZ (First Edition) and I'm very lucky in that I got sent one to review. My household seems to have developed a bit of thing around ducks and rubber duckies at the moment. I don't know where it came from, or quite why the hyperfixation has landed so heavily on them, but thanks to TUBBZ the love of ducks, gaming and pop culture can combine in the form of awesome collectibles. Making a Tactical Splash As with all TUBBZ products this is of course, an officially licensed collectible. The Metal Gear Solid: The Orange Box TUBBZ (First Edition) has the recognisable Numskull Designs take on a PVC duck. Or at least their bill does. I'll be honest the whole thing jus...

Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune – Retrospective

Straightforward narrative driven adventure games come very few and far between these days. We live in a time when most AA or AAA games on the market try to be wallet pinching live services, or bloated open worlds that require as much commitment as your full-time job. If Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune were to release today, it would easily be seen as an outsider among the crowd. With that in mind, it’s funny to think that not so long ago, Uncharted was the golden example that many AAA game studios tried to follow. That is what I want to explore with this retrospective: how developer Naughty Dog, with their first PlayStation 3 title, laid the foundation for Uncharted to become PlayStation’s poster child for nearly a decade. Not only that, but how they also changed how the industry approach...

Paul’s 10 Most Anticipated Late-2025 Games

The first half of 2025 gave us some huge contenders for Game of the Year; Blue Prince, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and Split Fiction, to cherry-pick a few. Thankfully, the back end of the year also looks stacked with quality. Among them are a new Pokémon game, a follow-up to Ghost of Tsushima, a new Silent Hill entry, and the long awaited Metroid Prime 4. It's also alleged that a sequel to Hollow Knight is due to release before Christmas this year, but I wouldn't know anything about that. Ignoring all those games, though, here are 10 games set to release in the rest of 2025 that I can't wait to get my hands on. I've listed them alphabetically for fairness — I love all my children equally. Cairn | PlayStation, PC Genre: Simulation, Survival Developer: The Game Bakers | Publisher...
