Xbox has been doing some marketing (something Microsoft's gaming division has often been accused of barely doing, especially around new game releases), and it's released an absolute clanger of an advert to promote Xbox Game Pass. Initially I thought it was OK, a little odd for sure, but fine. Centred on a comparison between renting games from a store in the past and having access to games on Games Pass... Read more ›

More specifically, I've been thinking about my Dragon Age: The Veilguard review - the five-star review I wrote for Eurogamer. It plagues me. Because to be blunt, I'm not happy with how it sits. I don't think The Veilguard is a five-star game and definitely don't think it's BioWare's best game. To have suggested such a... Read more ›

I’d argue that there was probably no greater poisoned chalice in games than taking on the job of remaking Final Fantasy 7. Hyped for years before it was announced, its reveal part of the so-called ‘E3 of dreams’, and it is of course a reimagining of one of the most important and beloved role-playing games of all time.
