Taking the bones of the original 2010 game and expanding upon them in a manner that had never been envisioned before, Borderlands and its first sequel kicked off a trend in video games that saw many an imitator rise but never saw a successor topple Gearbox’s glorious loot ‘n shoot from its throne.

As similar as it is to other iterations, I’m happy to have the good doctor back. It’s the sort of hyper-casual gaming that I can afford 5 minutes of every day to. I can’t pretend it’s made me any smarter, or even feel any smarter beyond becoming slightly more proficient in its specific exercises.

After proving that the back to basics approach of series 27 was no fluke, series 28 is doubling down on that theme thanks to the chemistry of its three main stars: Chris Harris, Paddy McGuinness and Freddie Flinthoff. Two thirds of the team were present for the premiere of the series 28’s first episode, which features Flinthoff taking on a challenge that would give James Bond a license to ill.

With one of the most addictive turn-based battle systems you’ll find today in a JRPG, Tokyo Mirage Sessions was a blast to play. It’s just unfortunate that the story and characters were about as bland as flavourless rice cakes.

Conan The Barbarian, much like most franchises that have at one some point or another based their success on the boisterous muscles of Arnold Schwarzenegger, are at their best when they’re not taking themselves seriously. Sure, one could point at the Robert E. Howard’s high fantasy Hyborian Age and proclaim the warring factions and political turmoil of a world ravaged …
