Can the fundamental trouble with esports ever be properly solved?

No time to explain - Hit Points returns to Eurogamer. I’ve been watching quite a bit of basketball lately. I have no favourite team, but a few I like to watch and see win. I know what a pick and roll is now! I think, anyway. just don’t ask me to explain it, however. The commentators agreed both decisions were correct, but declined to elaborate on why.

In praise of screensavers

Burnt into our memories. I probably encountered screensavers around the time I read Dune for the first time. We are talking secondary school, the early years. Words spinning in an abyss. The folding of space - this is what computers do, right? And screensavers for me were where you got to see this most clearly. I am easily hypnotised, and have been since I was young. We were all fascinated by screensavers, all of us early PC kids....

The rise and fall of the legendary Evolution Studios. This sense of busyness specifically lends the game an energy quite unlike other racing games of that era. It perfectly straddles that line.

Agatha Christie was a great games master

This piece contains spoilers for The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. Where to go from there? Christie felt like a locked door, behind which a deeper understanding of what Turton was up to awaited. This is true, I think, but there’s much more to it as well. If all of Christie is like Roger Ackroyd, the reverse is true for her stuff. Roger Ackroyd is a book that exists purely to be solved....

Warner Bros.' MultiVersus feels like a blend of Super Smash Bros. and IP law

What’s IP doc? So we decided to have a chat and figure things out. Martin Robinson:So, multiverses are quite the thing now I guess? I just went to see Everything Everywhere All at Once at the weekend, which was great! They missed a trick by not calling it Warner Smash Bros? Chris:They did, but the lawyers probably wouldn’t have loved that. The first thing I get from this game is ‘lawyers’, actually....

Evil Dead: The Game understands Evil Dead: The Movies better than I expected

My cup runneth over. Is that an Oldsmobile to pootle around in? It was fun, and it looked like Evil Dead - so many Ashes! But it didn’t always feel like Evil Dead. The same is true for what I think is the single-player stuff. I headed out as Ash and quickly got into serious deadite trouble. The woods looked perfect - but it felt like a lot of other horror games....

Saints Row looks colourful and amusingly chaotic, but lacks some polish

Pulling in the prophets. Last week, I got to have a closer look at the Saints Row reboot from Volition. Right now, it just looks and feels like more of a last-gen game than a current one. With all that said, Saints Row still looks as if it holds the potential for fun. I mean a complete head to toe switch up. This all happened in a mere matter of moments before the player went back to continuing with their business....
