Hello and welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we've been playing this week. This week, Bertie finally remembers to include Jim's piece about his Christmas game; Victoria's household gets unexpectedly tense while playing a game billed as a family game; and Tom hides under the bed. And I think he's still hiding under the bed now.

Would you rather a story be exciting or true? Assume the story you're hearing is not current and the validity of it does not matter for any reason other than satisfying your curiosity. It is, for all intents and purposes, a harmless tale. It's not a stretch, I don't think, to say we enjoy seeing the reaction on people's faces when we surprise them with a good story, or when we make them laugh, or when we shock them, just as we like being surprised and amused and shocked by someone else's story in return. Does it matter, then, whether a story is entirely, 100 percent true?-_-Coming-May-15%2C-2025-0-44-screenshot_W9rvEpw.jpg?width=1920&height=1920&fit=bounds&quality=80&format=jpg&auto=webp)
Back in 2023, the Video Game History Foundation announced it was curating a digital library, which would allow users to access its vast collection of magazines, art books and more from the comfort of their homes. And while it didn't pop a date on when it would be available to the public at that time, it now has.
PlayStation hit Astro Bot released towards the end of last year, and quickly won itself praise for its platforming prowess and limitless charm. It went on to win Game of the Year at the Game Awards in December, but its award-winning streak didn't end there.
"In terms of action games, I think ninjas are a good fit," says Fumihiko Yasuda, Team Ninja producer. We're discussing why ninja characters are so enduring throughout the history of video games, right back to the original Ninja Gaiden games in the 1980s.
It Takes Two and Brothers developer Hazelight has given us a fresh peek at the studio's next co-op game, Split Fiction, including a look at its Side Stories.
The story Eternal Strands tells is pretty good. A bunch of magic-users known as Weavers are attempting to recover their cultural homeland, which has been sealed behind a mystical barrier for ages. I am always up for any decent pulpy story that involves getting a gang of misfits together and returning to a hallowed place after centuries have passed. You know, and then trying to find out what went wrong.
