Hello. My name is Simon, and I write articles and produce videos about games, movies, and TV. Sometimes, they're even interesting to read and watch.

I’m excited for Crimson Desert, just also a little afraid that by trying to be everything, it may end up achieving nothing.

With this piece, I was just trying to share some of my frustrations with what I see as preemptive judgment when it comes to unreleased games.

While I can perfectly see why some wouldn't agree, I'm not sure I deserve to be torn apart for it by someone who doesn't know me. I'm pleasant, I promise.

Barely less than an hour into Inkle's latest, TR-49, but I'm already hopelessly sucked in. They've only gone and done it again.

Steadily be getting annoyed by this, so decided to rant about how we should probably play games before writing them off.

I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with the incredible Jennifer Hale to chat all about her most iconic characters.

It was a lovely time.

Been thinking about how much of an impact Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare had on my life.

Tried to sort through those thoughts in a short tribute to Vince Zampella:

Only played Despelote last week, but it instantly became one of my favourites of the year. A coming-of-age story with a real personal edge that does a couple of things I've never seen a game do before over its 2 hours.

Think Y Tu Mamá También, but with a football-loving kid instead of horny teens.

Very much enjoyed the theme of reveals at The Game Awards shifting from soulslikes to BioWare-likes this year. Surely this will heal us.
