The Lord Of The Rings: Gollum Will Take 20 Hours On A Slow Playthrough

The Lord of the Rings: Gollumwill apparently take around 20 hours to beat, as long as you’re taking your time and soaking up all the sights. The devs also add that you’ll be able to blast through faster than that if you wish, but if you keep at a “relaxed” pace, they say that you’ll be able to explore much more of this take on Middle-earth. This comes from an interview withGaming Bolt, in which producer Harald Riegler gave us a better idea of what we’ll be getting up to in the long-awaited Gollum game....

The Nintendo Switch Makes Games Too Easy To Ignore

The big joy of theNintendo Switchcomes from its portability. While I do play some games docked, on the TV like I would with thePlayStationor theXbox, most of the time I play it handheld. I don’t necessarily need to go anywhere with it. I might play it in bed before I go to sleep, at my kitchen table on my lunch break, or even just sitting on my sofa while my wife watches TV or while the football is on....

The Sims 4 Horse Ranch Shows Horses Deserve Their Own Time To Shine

A criticism often leveled atThe Sims 4is that it lacks depth or is cutting out features. As The Sims 4 Horse Ranch expansion nears its release date of July 20, this is a viewpoint you’ll see trotted out again (sorry, not sorry) on social media over the coming weeks. Largely because in The Sims 3, horses were included as part of the pets expansion, leading many to believe they were “left out” of Cats & Dogs so EA could charge us a few extra pennies....

Time Travel Leads To Tragedy In The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom

This article contains major spoilers for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Is there anything quite as potent as two lovers separated by an unbridgeable gap? Sometimes that separation is physical distance, with entire continents and oceans keeping them apart.

Why The Mario Movie Grossing One Billion Dollars Matters

I’ve been reluctant so far to celebrate the success ofThe Super Mario Bros. Movie. I liked it well enough, being in the minority as a critic with a ‘certified Fresh’ review, but it’s not as if I personally gained anything from its success. Gaming audiences are quick to point out how much more revenue gaming makes over film and TV, conveniently overlooking the fact mobile games bring in the majority.It feels immature to be desperate for the validationof a movie doing well or a TV show pulling in a crowd - but one billion dollars is more than just ‘doing well’....

Wraith In Spider-Man 2 Will Confront Peter's Biggest Flaw

There were a lot of reveals inSpider-Man 2’sPlayStationShowcase trailer. Most notably, we saw Peter Parker don the symbiote suit, which brings with it new powers, but also new challenges. Presumably new responsibilities are in there somewhere too. Peter has all new attacks with this suit, but also seems to be affected emotionally, which would make sense given its parasitic nature. It has beenconfirmed that Venom will be in the game, voiced by Tony Todd, but it could yet be that VenomisPeter, rather than taking over Eddie Brock....

19 Years Later, The EA Spouse Still Has A Point

Game development has changed drastically over the past two decades. Development times and budgets have both skyrocketed, with series that formerly promised annual entries now spending more than five years on their sequels.
