After cracking Ascended Heroes boxes, I’m convinced: this Pokémon TCG set is a gorgeous collector feast that mostly skips the meta.

Watching The Crew vanish from my library was the moment DRM snapped for me. If pirates have more reliable access than paying players, the system is broken.

A single 7-minute 1v1 in Bungie’s Marathon summed up everything I love and hate about extraction shooters, from audio paranoia to loadout-value dread.

Looking back at 2017, I’m convinced we didn’t realise how good we had it: battle royale was new, mobile puzzles peaked, and gacha still felt fresh.
