The Jimquisition 29: The Asset Flip

Podquisition Episode 26: Hot Unicorn Sex Coffee

On this week's bloomin' great episode, we obviously spend some time chatting about The Witcher 3 - don't worry, we won't spend the entire episode bangin' on about the thing. It's okay! Elsewhere, Lau...

Why The Witcher 3's Sprinting NPCs Are Important

In my review, I praised the fact that The Witcher 3 allows you to make NPCs run when you run, turning "follow the leader" quests into something fast paced. Here, I contextualize this praise, explain...

Review: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

This game is so massive that, in all honesty, I have LOADS to do still, but if I didn't get my thoughts down now, I'd never have done it at all. I'm certainly confident I've done plenty to be able to ...

Pictures of Geralt Wearing Masks in The Witcher 3, Because Reasons

Podquisition Episode 25: Fight The Iconic Oppression

On this week's episode, we celebrate Kickstarter's recent surge of fresh interest, and damn Assassin's Creed: Syndicate with faint praise. Unless we're Gavin, in which case we're disgustingly excited....

Crabs With Udders

Okay, so I'm sorry about this one. I'm really sorry. Basically, I talked about crabs with udders in a gameplay video this weekend, and got inundated with so many amazing pictures of them that I had to...

The Jimquisition 27: R.I.P. P.T. - Why We Can't Keep Nice Things

Konami has erased P.T. from the PlayStation Network, killing what it probably saw as little more than a commercial for a now-canceled game. Thing is, it was more than a commercial. It was more than a ...

Podquisition Episode 24: For Caffeine We Mourn

Two thirds of the Podquisition team have now given up caffeine and it's ruining their lives, while Gavin sips wine and haughtily sits upon a throne of misery. Happy birthday, Gav! We talk about Steam...

Wolfenstein: The Old Blood review

I did a review of The Old Blood, that standalone prequel to Wolfenstein: The New Order. I think it's actually better than the main game!

The Jimquisition 26: Warner Bother

Capcom, Konami, Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, Activison... there's no shortage of "AAA" publishers to rail on for their naughty behavior. One company often gets overlooked, however, and it's one of the na...

State of Decay: Year One Survival Edition review

I was looking forward to reviewing this, as I have a soft sport for State of Decay and felt an improved version would be awesome. It still would be. This is not it.

Podquisition Episode 23: Konami & Cornetto

On this week's episode, we still haven't quite worked all of the Konami out of our systems, so we air that for a good, satisfying bit of ranting. We also discuss the thing that broke between this and ...

The Jimquisition 25: Konami Is Konami

Yeah, that's right, you get TWO Jimquisitions this week! We can't not have a nice chat about old nemesis Konami, perhaps the most embarrassing major publisher in the so-called "AAA" space. This epis...

The Jimquisition 24: So Let's Talk About Mods Being Sold On Steam

There was no way we couldn't talk about this one today - in fact, I don't think I've had a more requested topic! Valve recently allowed modders to start selling their work through its Workshop, a move...

Raven's Cry review

The game came out months ago, but I wouldn't consider the year complete if I didn't force myself to get this done. Raven's Cry is gutter trash, and it deserves to be torn to bits.

The Jimquisition 23: Star Wars Battlefront Made Me Realize I'm A Cynical Prick

I watched the Star Wars Battlefront trailer like everybody else, and my not-so-excited reaction to it made me realize just how jaded and skeptical I've truly become. I mean, I've always known that, bu...
