Game Informer Magazine and Website Is Back?! 📖
When I heard last year that Game Informer was being shut down I became immediately nostalgic and sad for a magazine and a website that I'd heard soooo much about but never really engaged with.
Game Informer was and still is regularly referenced in the video games Podcasts from the USA that I insatiably consume on a weekly basis. This has created a knowledge of Game Informer by osmosis as I lap up my daily dose of Video Games goodness via intravenous Podcast to the ear lug.
So to my absolute surprise I saw a news article on VGC that proclaimed:
"Game Informer rescued by blockchain firm, with ‘entire team’ reunited"

YOCOWOCO BOX02 - Bluetooth 5.2 Wireless Audio Adapter Review [Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Elite 2 Controller] 🎮 @YocowocoStore
A few weeks ago I discovered the realm of wireless Bluetooth audio adapters for Xbox. Something that had always quietly bothered me when playing Xbox is that I’m forced to use wired headphones, with no option for wireless earbuds, and as mentioned in previous articles, being the parent of a young child, the ability to pop one noise-cancelling earbud in late at night (or to quietly use earbuds that aren’t noise-cancelling so that I’m aware of stuff happening around the house as I play– is a massive boon that was very much of appeal to me as a consumer. In this regard, I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to cover the Skull & Co. wireless Bluetooth adapter for Xbox, and whilst there were minor niggles, it has genuinely been a subtle revelation in my gaming experience in the evenings, I can still get the full effect of the impact of the video game’s audio, immersing me in the gaming experience, without the impracticality that headphones can cause for me, personally.

SelectaPlay Unleashes Terrifier: The ARTcade Game Collector’s Edition. Prepare for Pixelated Carnage! 🔪🤡🩸
A blood-drenched physical edition slashes its way to PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch
Brace yourself for a massacre of the most magnificent kind! Publisher SelectaPlay and developer Relevo are bringing horror fans the ultimate grisly treat, a killer physical Collector’s Edition of Terrifier: The ARTcade Game, launching for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch alongside its digital release for Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Step into the oversized, blood-splattered shoes of Art the Clown in this old-school, arcade-style beat ‘em up inspired by the most brutal horror games of the ‘80s and ‘90s.
But don’t expect a scripted scream-fest as Art carves his own path of chaos, gutting cops, mangling stunt performers, and terrorizing film sets with his signature blend of sadistic humour and nightmarish brutality.
Gorgeously grotesque pixel art brings the madness to life, while fluid animations ensure that every slash, stomp, and skull-crushing finisher is as satisfyingly savage as the films.

Why I Love The Games Master TV Show 🕹️ #RetroGaming
I grew up in the '80s and 90's so I was the perfect age for Games Master when it first aired on a cold and wet Tuesday in January 1992. I was at Secondary School and video games plus football is what I obsessed over.
In 1992 I also owned my favourite video games console of all time, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. To say I was the target audience for the show would be an understatement!
When episodes aired during the week on Channel 4 in the UK they were the talk of the playground the next day at school and boy did we talk about these episodes a lot. I used to tape every episode onto a blank VHS and watch it back over and over again.
