Analysing Batman: Arkham Knight’s Knightfall Ending
The ending to Batman: Arkham Knight is slightly mysterious, to say the very least. No, not that one. The other one. No, the other other one.

Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst Collector’s Edition Is Stupid Expensive
Who exactly is buying these things? I used to love a good Collector’s Edition, but these days the prices are absurd and the contents utter pants, only pants are actually practical, useful things to have. Speaking of absurdity; EA.

Halo: Hunters in the Dark Book Review – What’s A Book!? How Do You Play It!?
I’ve often had the unenviable task of patiently explaining to other gamers why I really just don’t care about the Halo series.
