 state of gaming. It seems clear that all culture is under attack from mega corporations who possess not an ounce of artistic integrity. I'm also in the middle of studying for a business qualification and am currently learning about co-operatives and it's got me thinking. Do you think it would be feasible for hundreds of small talented indie game companies to team up together and build their own console? They'd all be part owners and free to make their games how they see fit and the large range of games would surely be enough to make it the console a success. I know I'm not the only one who can't be bothered with the triple-A blandness we get){kind=link}

The contendersVery good review of God Of War Ragnarök, GC. Very in-depth. I suspected it might be an 8/10 based on your preview, which made it clear this was just going to be more of the same and not necessarily even as good. I’ve had it pre-ordered for months though, so I’m definitely getting it, and the only part of your review that worries me is that the ending might not be that great, but I guess I’ll see.
It’s obviously not going to be GC’s game of the year but on Metacritic it’s second only to Elden Ring so… does that mean From have got it sewn up in terms of The Game Awards and the other big award shows? I’m not so sure. Recency bias is always very important for these sort of things and I can imagine God Of War being bigger for longer than Elden Ring.
I imagine GC’s big rival for the top spot is Bayonetta 3 but I certainly can’t see that winning with anyone else. With a lot of these other award events, I think a lot of the decisions are based on what they hope will please readers/watchers, instead of what they genuinely think deserves to win.Mr Crow
