Opinionated: Sorry Switch – The Steam Deck Just Stole Your Job

by Chris Thomas

As someone who still occasionally plays on their Atari Lynx, it is fair to say, I like handheld gaming. I have happy memories of Mortal Kombat 2-player, via a cable on the Game Gear.

Opinionated: Slipcases, Steelbooks & Shelf Art – How the UK Became the King of Physical Media Packaging

by Phil Wheat

The Boutique Boom Nobody Saw Coming When everyone said physical media was dying… UK labels quietly levelled up. Remember the doom-and-gloom era when streaming was supposedly going to kill discs?

Ten Best: Horror Video Games of All Time
