It’s hard to imagine the beloved blockbuster disappointment A Goofy Movie without the distinct voice Disney fans have associated with him since Pinto Colvig originated the character in 1932. But according to Disney Plus’ Not Just a Goof, a documentary that dives into the making of the 1995 cult classic for its 30th anniversary, there was a moment where it looked like Goofy wouldn’t be able to keep his iconic...
I already feel preemptively sorry for whatever studio ends up making Baldur’s Gate 4. Imagine watching Larian put out an RPG as massive, impressive, and flexible as Baldur’s Gate 3, and having the license holder Hasbro say "another one of those, please!". Now, as if following in the footsteps of one of the greatest games of all time wasn’t challenging enough, that unfortunate studio may also have to contend with...
Lost Ark was mostly a pleasant surprise for me when I reviewed it back in 2022. I enjoyed both its spectacular ARPG combat and its increasingly absurd MMO story, which shifted from conventional fantasy fare to throwing you into enormous clown battles and exploring islands inhabited by Borrowers-like characters. But there came a point where the progression barriers were thrown down, and my movement across its colourful archipelago was increasingly...
The Count of Monte Cristo is the third most famous fictional count, after Sesame Street’s numerically obsessed vampire ‘The Count’ and the most infamous vampire of them all, Count Chocula. Alexandre Dumas’ classic novel of romance and revenge has nothing to do with vampires (which some may consider an oversight), but it’s still recognised as one of literature’s greatest works, having been adapted into countless films and TV shows.As yet,...
In The Wheel of Time’s very first episode, trollocs attacked the quaint farming village known as the Two Rivers, calling on the might of five tethered teens and a determined Aes Sedai (Rosamund Pike) to keep their humble home from falling in the carnage. Of course, ill-prepared and overwhelmed farmers were no proper army then, and it took Rand (Josha Stradowski), Mat (Barney Harris, now played by Dónal Finn), Perrin...
I was ambivalent about Days Gone when it shambled onto PC in 2021, though my issues were primarily with its clumsy storytelling rather than anything systemic. Exploring the world on Deacon St John’s motorcycle while evading hordes of shambling undead was enjoyable enough, especially when a minor pitstop to pick up some fuel would turn into a cross-country fight for survival.Hence, I was more than a little curious when Sony...

Sifu developer Sloclap has pivoted from martial arts games to sports games with Rematch, a 5v5 competitive football (soccer) game coming this summer. It turns out the skills transfer: Rematch is more Rocket League than FIFA, and it's "something special," writer Daniella Lucas said after visiting Sloclap for a hands-on preview.It'll also be $30, a decision some will probably balk at. Most of today's biggest multiplayer games either started as...
Every now and then a game comes along that seems unassuming at first but totally blows away all of your expectations and reveals itself to be something special. Rematch is one of those games. Yes, it's football, but it's far closer to the likes of Rocket League and Overwatch than it is to FIFA and is all about action and teamplay.Trailers really don't do this game justice (although you can...
