After both sinking some serious hours into the game, Jamie and Charlie are here to break down all facets of Remedy Entertainment’s highly touted title Control. The distinct lack of fan fair and marketing may have let this one slide under your radar at launch, but this nerdy pair (who maxed the game fyi) will hopefully give you all the answers you’re looking for.

In arguably the most brazen example of gross product placement in recent times, Shell is pushing gasoline propaganda through the vehicle of Fortnite.  What are kids most worried about, climate change... what do kids really like, Fortnite.

Broken achievements & trophies should not still be a thing
