I don’t know about you guys, but there is nothing quite like gaming paraphernalia that makes me part with my hard-earned cash. Whether it’s a replica figurine, a cute plush, or a fancy new controller that I don’t need, I’ll always fork over the dough. Well, it seems my wallet is destined to be empty …
When you hear the term ‘Hitman,’ there should only be one image that comes into your head, and that’s a sharply dressed, bald man armed with some piano wire. Agent 47 has been one of the most instantly recognizable and iconic characters within the gaming industry for decades, and within that time, he’s starred in …
Toad in the Super Mario franchise. Alfred the Butler from the world of Batman. Dudley Dursley from Harry Potter. Oh, what am I doing? I’m listing characters that would be just as likely to be the protagonist of a AAA feature game as Gollum from Lord of the Rings. It’s not often I can begin …

Good triumphs over evil. Light overcomes the darkness. Love conquers all. It’s all a little played out, isn’t it?

A hero is born, they are faced with adversity, the odds are stacked …

A few video game characters stand out from the crowd, to the point that even the most casual gaming fan will know exactly who they are. I tend to use my mother as a litmus test for this sort of thing. If I show her a picture of a certain famous mustachioed plumber, or a …

As someone that has played just about every FromSoftware Souls title, and just about all the other Souls clone out there for good measure. I feel that I know a thing or two about this game format. I still don’t know how to avoid getting pummelled on a regular basis, but that’s part of the …
