Monday Games Club – What have we been playing, and what’s going on in the world of Gaming?
Welcome to Respawning's new regular feature, Club Articles! These articles have been created as a way of all us guys getting together every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, and generally waffling on about whatever takes our fancy! Today we're talking about what games...
Declan Revisits – Hitman: Contracts
In the honour of the recently released Hitman: Game of The Year Edition, I went back and played one of my personal favourite Hitman games – Hitman: Contracts. The game has certainly aged, and whether it’s aged well or not is a matter of opinion. However, it is...
Javier Reviews – Justice League
When I think about the DC cinematic universe, I often forget how much I like each individual movie (Except Suicide Squad...) - Man of Steel was a good standalone film that they just-about managed to stretch/force into the start of a new universe; I really really like...
Josef Remembers – Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away... This will surprise a lot of people, but I really like Revenge of the Sith. It's a weirdly enjoyable film compared to the other two prequels. As well as that, there's a huge meme culture surrounding this one specifically...
Does Stranger Things draw inspiration from too many other Franchises?
Before you read this it’s worth noting that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed both seasons of Stranger Things, I think that the story ideas are exciting and keep you involved, the kids (And adults) are charming and incredibly talented and it has a good mix of suspense, horror...
Guest Feature – World of Warcraft Classic Servers: What Are They, What Do We Know and Why Should We Care?
Almost three weeks ago, one of gaming's largest single-studio events, Blizzcon, took place in sunny California. The convention was packed full of interesting details, including an upcoming World of Warcraft expansion and the announcement of free-to-play Starcraft II....
Luke Reviews – Uncharted 4: The Lost Legacy
Like many others, I was really worried about Uncharted 4.5: The Lost Legacy. Like everyone else my thoughts took quickly to thinking that Naughty Dog had finally fallen for the cash grab method of many other developers and created this as a standalone game just to...
Why Sebastian Castellanos is a Perfect Video Game Character
I was talking to the other guys in Respawning this past couple of weeks about The Evil Within 2 (LOADS, I’m literally obsessed with this game), and one thing that stuck out to me was when we were discussing the game's numerous characters; one quote in particular stuck...
James Reviews – Echo
It can sometimes be difficult to find games in which all of its parts are working in interesting and engaging ways. I have played many games that narratively have taken me on incredible adventures with unique characters, but not showed the same level of innovation in...
Clarice Reviews – DOOM (Nintendo Switch)
The moment I heard Doom was being ported to the Nintendo switch, I was immediately excited, not just at the fact that the Nintendo Switch is becoming a jack of all trades console, but that the impossible will be possible...! Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you my review...
Josef Remembers – Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones
A long time ago... In a galaxy far far away. This week really hasn't been good for Star Wars fans has it.. I've already covered the tragic story that was Battlefront 2, but now I have to make myself more depressed by talking about the worst movie of them all. If the...
Josef Reviews – Star Wars Battlefront 2
If anyone knows me at all, you know I love Star Wars. I've been getting excited about this game for over a year, having hope that "It would be different." That this would be a modern day equivalent to the 2005 release. However, due to the best star card in this game...

Luke Reviews – .hack//G.U. Last Recode
I was a massive fan of the original .hack series but missed GU when it first came around, so it has a lot to live up too as I would sing the praises of the original hack quadrilogy to my friend group. I even own all 4 hack games – Which any game collector will tell...
Salman Reviews – Call of Duty: World War II
I was never one of those guys who hated CoD with a passion. I actually quite like the games, the futuristic stuff that people complained about starting with Black Ops 2 was just one small gripe because they didn’t go all the way with it, but when they did it gave CoD...

Javier Reviews – Demon Gaze 2
Demon Gaze 2, developed by Kadokawa Games and Experience Inc., and localised by NIS America is the sequel to the rather well received Demon Gaze; allowing you to recruit a number of Demons and "Demonize" them into far stronger forms, you begin your adventure through...
