In the world of Red Dead Redemption, regret hangs heavy over the heads of our protagonists. Roads not taken, choices made poorly, lives never lived. John Marston's sins are so great, he can't accept that he'll ever find salvation. What are your favorite moments from Rockstar's western saga?

Across the entire cast of unique characters in Harold Halibut, one of our favorites was absolutely Chris Tinnerbaum! A teacher, a peacekeeper, and a STUD! Who were YOUR favorite characters in this charming stop-motion game?

CONKER’s BAD FUR DAY was one of the last Nintendo 64 games to be released, but its legacy was cemented via its clever and raunchy humor! A cartoon cavalcade of irreverent comedy! Who else had this controversial game on the N64?

METAL GEAR SOLID 2 gets rightly praised for accurately predicting the future. But let’s not forget that the rest of the MGS franchise has some poignant writing between all the wacky sci-fi action. Is it possible for connection to emerge from destruction? Otacon’s question feels painfully timeless.

David Lynch wrote and directed some of the most mesmerizing art to ever make it to film and television. His vision has even influenced video games including Hi-Fi Rush and The Legend of Zelda franchise. I’m very sad he’s gone but also grateful to have experienced his work. RIP.

What's a video game line that CHALLENGED you? Kratos and Atreus have a lot of heavy one-on-one moments during their family journey in GOD OF WAR. But the heart of all of Kratos' wisdom comes down to one idea: To "be better" than before. #GodOfWar #PS5 #screenwriting #videogames

Best Zelda dialogue ever is Ganondorf from Wind Waker, lamenting how all he wanted was a better life after growing up in the harsh desert.

Heartbreaking. With American video game arcades basically extinct, racing games like this are forced to live out on the streets. Begging for loose change next to massage chairs and photo booths. Not a DDR Machine in sight. Sad.

Love Actually (2003) is a beloved Christmas classic but what many fans don’t realise is that the country it’s set in, “England”, wasn’t just made up for the film - it actually exists! It has a population of 69 million people and its chief export is gas turbines.
