  7. Cosmic Spacehead is illogical and a mess and I still love it

    Cosmic Spacehead is a weird mess of a game that felt truly a thing of its time. I can't see it ever existing now. Originally released in the early 90s, I stumbled across it in that way that tends to happen when you're only about 9 or 10 and your access to insightful games media is limited.

I'm not sure how my Mum retraced her steps but a few days later, I inadvertently spotted it in her suitcase and discovered exactly what my main Christmas present was going to be. To be fair to nosy-child me, I never said a word. I acted surprised on Christmas Day, appreciating the importance of the occasion, and dived straight into the weirdness.

    Video | Some more of PAX Online x EGX Digital's best bits

    Horror, space, tactics, and "the Sharknado of video games".

    PAX Online x EGX Digital, the mammoth 9-day digital event about video games organised by our parent company ReedPop, is five and a half days old now, and we're starting to get used to it. Obviously we would much rather be cramming ourselves into a cavernous expo centre with you lot, but that is not practical or safe right now - and there's something to be said for having multiple channels of panels, demos and more beamed straight into your home.

  21. Super Mario 3D All-Stars review - three great games in one lacklustre compilation

    I just don't get Nintendo sometimes. If you want a microcosm of the head-scratching conundrum you'll often find at the heart of the company it's here in this, Super Mario 3D All-Stars. Here are two of the greatest games ever made - and Super Mario Sunshine - in a compilation that's in so many ways lacklustre.

  22. Super Mario 3D All-Stars: remasters, emulation - or a mixture of both?

    Digital Foundry | Super Mario 3D All-Stars: remasters, emulation - or a mixture of both?

    The DF Retro take on all three games.

    Decades after the release of Super Mario All-Stars on Super NES, Nintendo revisits the concept with Super Mario 3D All-Stars - a compilation featuring Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy.

  26. PS5 is a surefire hit, but Sony's broken promises are eroding trust

    As the PlayStation 5 showcase ended, with aggressive price points for both the PS5 and its Digital Edition, a staggered release date (we get it a week later than the US, which is a shame but in the current circumstances I understand), and the announcement of Final Fantasy 16, the next God of War and, most exciting of all, a decent look at the wondrous Demon's Souls running on PS5, I was feeling pretty good about the whole thing. Pumped, even.
