When you finally realise your dream as a gaming content creator, it can feel like the world is your oyster. To a certain extent, that’s true; you’ll finally be able to work as you wish, nobody telling you what to do (apart from Google algorithms, of course). There are still things you need to be

If you’ve never contemplated hosting your own eSports event, now may well be the time to start. eSports events can be amazing fun, bringing together the best parts of video games and sporting disciplines. A great eSports event requires many different organisational aspects to come together; it’s not just the game itself, but also the

Here’s a sobering fact for you: depending on the size and operational scope of your business, a major data breach could not only cost you a ludicrous amount of money but could also potentially compromise millions of customers’ accounts. As a business owner, a professional, or just someone who’s concerned about data security, you really

Planet Zoo is a game all about animals. That might sound like an obvious observation but never has a game had a more thorough approach to its subject matter than Frontier Developments has applied here. Perhaps this should be expected from the developers of stalwart simulation games like Planet Coaster and space trucker sim Elite

Once upon a time, the humble 3D platformer was the go-to game of choice for any developer wishing to make a movie tie-in game but not possessing the resources or time to make that game more unique. Everything from Toy Story to Wall-E to Madagascar got the 3D platformer treatment, and while they were all

For some, Call of Duty is in the midst of an identity crisis. 2017’s Call of Duty: WWII returned the series to its early-2000s roots but couldn’t quite manage to capture the magic momentum of the franchise at its best. In 2018, Treyarch took its turn with Black Ops 4, a game that garnered its

What are the most essential qualities you look for in an external storage drive? The answer to that question will dictate whether or not the SecureDrive BT is for you. If you favour security and protection of your sensitive files over everything else, then there is absolutely no doubt that you should buy this drive

How far would you go to protect your sensitive files and data? This is a question that has a different answer depending on who you ask. For some, security simply isn’t a crucial part of their everyday life; they’ve only got a few photos or documents and they don’t see how anyone could possibly take

If you’re a fan of mobile gaming, you’ve no doubt experienced the joy that is Coin Master. You can get this game entirely for free (though it does contain in-app purchases) on Android and iOS, so if you haven’t played it already then you have no excuse not to try it out and get stuck

Now this is a blast from the past. 2009 being a retro year is scary for those of us who remember being on the cusp of adulthood around that time, but there’s no mistaking it; Resident Evil 5 now feels like it belongs to a bygone era. Not that you’d know it from the amount

The Atelier franchise is completely labyrinthine. A quick trip to Wikipedia (I know it’s not the most reliable source, but it’ll do for our purposes) tells us that there have been an incredible 21 games in the franchise, all of which are subdivided into seven different meta-series. Salburg, Gramnad, Iris…if you’re not familiar with these

When Yooka-Laylee was announced, a great deal was made about how the game was a product of former Rare Studios employees. That’s because Rare has a pretty impressive pedigree when it comes to platformers; they’re the creators of Banjo-Kazooie, Conker’s Bad Fur Day, and, of course, Donkey Kong 64. It was the first and last
