If Pokemon Were Made for iPhone
Although it's my usual fanart feature for a beloved game, I'm pretty sure this article actually belongs in the "Horror" section. Because I am looking into the face of hell, and it makes my game-loving blood run cold.

Should Disney Revoke EA's Exclusivity Deal?
For the past couple of weeks, anyone with access to the internet will have heard about the Loot Box controversy involving EA's newest game Star Wars Battlefront II. The general gist of the criticism falls upon the notion that the developers had made it so difficult to unlock their favourite characters in the game without paying more money, that if the player really wanted these characters, then they would be compelled to fork out the dough.

Sonic
Well hello there, old friend. I’m guessing you have something to do with the angry fanbase. Jokes aside, I find it disheartening that a character of Sonic’s calibre has endured such a relentless onslaught of terrible-to-mediocre games in recent years. Even after going back to games like Sonic Adventure 2, which was the recipient of any and all free time that my 11-to-12-year-old self managed to find, playing it again in my mature years has resulted in perceiving its several flaws, such as the less-than-impressive voice acting (not super important) or how badly rehashed the levels are from story to story (kind of important). There will always be saving graces such as the old 2D Sonic games and games like Sonic Heroes, but the blue blur’s significant decline simply isn’t something that can be ignored.

Attention PC Gamers: Get Ready To Be a Lawbreaker!
If you don't know the name Cliff Bleszinski, then I'm probably not surprised, but if you don't know his work then I'd be thoroughly surprised. Cliff is a legend in the field of video game design. His first game was unveiled when he was only seventeen. It was a point-and-click adventure called The Palace of Deceit: Dragon's Plight. This game impressed the founder of Epic Games so much that he brought Cliff onto the team and they brought us many shareware games like Overkill, Brix, Jazz Jackrabbit, Radix: Beyond the Void eventually turning to the incredibly successful Unreal Tournament. Cliff later turned his attention towards Microsoft's Xbox 360 and served as the lead designer for the Gears of War ensemble of games. It turned out to be one of Microsoft's early defining properties and earned Bleszinski universal acclaim.
