Allegations, Exploitation, And The CEO Who Dreamed Of A Porsche (The Jimquisition)

Aeon Must Die! looks like a terrific game, and I always like to pay attention when Focus Home Interactive publishes something. Attention is something this game has a lot of, and not in a good way. ...

WWE 2K Battlegrounds - A Trash Game For A Trash Brand (Jimpressions)

2K has another bad wrestling videogame to ruin your day, but this time it's made of cartoons! Following last year's disastrous 2K20, WWE is back with 2K Battlegrounds.

A Video About Playing Videogames From Terrible Companies (The Jimquisition)

I'm often asked how one can continue enjoying videogames published by exploitative, harmful corporations. In truth, there is no "ethical" way to do it, not if you're trying to avoid giving money to...

Kingdoms Of Amalur: Re-Reckoning - Re-Reviewing A Remastered Re-Release (Jimpressions)

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is a pretty basic remaster of a game that could have stood to see more improvements. It's not terrible, but Amalur shows its age despite some convenience overhauls....

I Really, Really Hate Ubisoft (The Jimquisition)

I make no secret of my biases. My preferences and aversions are pretty well known, but some feelings just can't be worn on a regular sleeve. In other words, I cannot express my contempt for Ubisoft...

Marvel's Avengers - Earth's Crappiest Heroes (Jimpressions)

It may have the powerful Marvel license behind it, but make no mistake - Marvel's Avengers is just another forgettably mediocre "live service" waste of time.

New Generation, New Nonsense (The Jimquisition)

We're fast approaching a new generation of consoles, and we don't even know what they'll cost or when they'll come out. But we DO know that Sony might allow you to preorder one from them if you're ...

Podquisition 296: Alexander Candlebum

A musical gets a wax-based controversy. A senator refuses the charitable call. Also, Spiritfarer, Fall Guys, and No Straight Roads.

Fuck Fortnite (The Jimquisition)

Incredibly brave and heroic, Epic Games continues its fight to #FreeFornite against Apple's oppressive tyranny. That is definitely the whole story.

Battletoads - The Game That Wants To Be Every Game (Jimpressions)

Battletoads is a game with a very small attention span. One moment it's a brawler, the next it's a bullet hell shooter. When you finally get a handle on it, the thing becomes a rhythmic runner game...

Podquisition 295: Scary Astronaut

Astronauts are scary. Also we have Fall Guys, Mortal Shell, Rad, Spiritfarer, and all that nonsense between Apple and Epic.

The Marketable Genius Of Fall Guys (The Jimquisition)

You have to give credit where credit's due, and in terms of commercial videogame success, Mediatonic's Fall Guys deserves a nod.   

It helps that I'm really enjoying the game, but I...

Podquisition 294: The Giant Robot Bollock

Muscles Of The Apocalypse (The Jimquisition)

The Last of Us Part 2 is a neverending nightmare of discourse, and the outrage hasn't stopped. By far the most absurdly controversial aspect remains Abby, a character whose existence has been offer...

Fall Guys - An Indictment Of Human Selfishness (Jimpressions)

Fall Guys is an entertaining game that shines a grimly colorful light on just how self-destructive our self-service can be. Crabs in a bucket, people!

The Hypocritical Wokeness Of Ubisoft (The Jimquisition)

For years, Ubisoft performed a progressive lie, broadcasting its "wokeness" while abusive predatory executives claimed women can't sell.   

Today's video looks at that hypocrisy, th...

Grounded - The Spiders From Arse (Jimpressions)

Grounded is yet another survival game, but the shrunken conceit it hangs itself on carries the otherwise generic formula surprisingly well. At least when there aren't any spiders around.  &nbs...

Destroy All Humans - A Great Remake Of A Fun, Unfunny Game (Jimpressions)

Destroy All Humans is a good laugh, though it fails when it tries to make you actually laugh. An entertaining sandbox of alien weapons and flying saucers has been improved with this 2020 remake's w...

Paper Mario: The Origami King - Justin Loves The Mario Man (Justinpressions)

Hello, I'm Jim Sterling. I didn't ask him to do this, but Justin did his own video about Paper Mario: The Origami King because I couldn't be bothered. So this is what he thinks about it!
