I liked Pony Island and Clustertruck because they both took the joke far enough to make it worthwhile

Depends on what he decides to blow up first

Super Mario Run is pretty fun, though it's a little quirky- it's not got the usual Mario physics in the movement, so it takes a bit of getting used to. Also there's a lot of extra guff that seems designed to fleece you out of extra money, which adds a sinister undertone to the chirpy facade. Still, worth the £8 or…

Yes, this game seems the exact opposite of what happened with Trump and Brexit (and arguably Turkey), and what may well happen soon in France and Germany. In both cases some very visible and charismatic people - Donald Trump, Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage, Le Pen - sold people on the idea that things were better in the…

I've not played a Final Fantasy game since FF8 but "making sense" has never seemed like a top priority. They're mostly about the silly names and .misaligned clothing

I'm more interested in how asymmetrical the outfits are

Sadly no longer all- in 2012 it was succeeded by ISO/IEEE recommendation 11073-10420:2012 (part 2) that also specifies that Jonathan has no dick and changes the text colour on each iteration

So did Bioshock, and it was utter bobbins.

More evil than regular Ikea?

Only other game I can think of to pass the Bechdel Test recently was Wolfenstein: The New Order

Will 15 be the actual final Final Fantasy? From what I can tell they could just skip the game part and just release a book containing new cosplay options and a Twilight audio book with some grunting and explosions spliced in.

The museum was a big highlight for me- more games need a giant stuffed owl. I'm going for a non-lethal-unless-pushed play through with minimal reloading, which is I think the right way to do it. A really nice trick for thinning out guards is to get high up, use the heart to find the one who seems nastiest, crossbow…

Missed music opportunity: "It's Raining Men"

Both Dishonored games are more fun if you allow yourself a bit of murder when things go tits up rather than instantly reloading- that way you have to fight and improvise and perhaps actually use one of your hoarded springrazors. I'm saving the pacifist ghost run for Corvo.

I decided to have an impromtu holiday to NY to see some friends and watch the election, which has been a bit of a mixed bag to say the least- Tuesday evening wasn't quite the big party I was hoping for, but rather a re-run of Brexit Night in the UK.

There's that horrible moment in Spelunky where you start playing and five minutes later look up and see that its 4am and you've aged six years

Who would you like to see? My personal wishlist:

Fun tip: if you keep pressing space to skip dialogue in the conversations Adam has you can turn them into a very frowny shrugging competition

I finished Mankind Divided during the week- the main missions were all excellent but I couldn’t help feeling the whole thing was a little undercooked. The main Prague hub never became particularly convincing. There’s something about semi-open world / freeform games like Deus Ex and Mass Effect that put you in places…
