I call it Cadbury Physics.

You can now play Gears of War on the PlayStation 5. Despite the changes to the video game landscape in recent years, that sentence still makes me react similarly to how I would if someone said "you can now drink coffee with a fork". My brain's immediate reaction is to dismiss it as nonsense. It's not. We've seen plenty of Xbox games on PlayStation already, but there are some games that bleed Xbox. Gears of War is one of them.

Some of us absolutely love to push ourselves when it comes to games, and believe the harder the better. Overcoming such challenges can offer an immense thrill and sense of achievement, after all. There are even some among us who won't reduce the difficulty level in a game if we are struggling, and would actually rather stop playing altogether.

Let's kick off with a confession: I never really rated 2003's Kirby Air Ride. I'm well aware that some regard it as a GameCube classic, but I'm not one of them.

All of us who grew up in the 1980s and 1990s have had a decent amount of time to ponder what it is that really makes the video game ninja such a special thing. It’s the hard strikes and the proximity to magic, sure, but it’s also something else. A ninja moves with a particular lightness. No need for a foley artist to mix in footsteps, because when these characters move it’s as is icing sugar is being dusted over the soft earth. So there’s a lovely contradiction at the heart of it. Cor, it hurts when one of these people kicks you through a wall, but cor, they’re so nimble and and deft and precise - so gentle - you kind of have to forgive them for everything.
