TOP 10 GAMES OF 2024

 

 

This site frequently harps on about old-school games, but this is the time of year where I get to give my thoughts on new ones. If you ask me, 2024 hasn't been as great a year as last years. There were less  depth in the larger games and less invention in the smaller ones. And my most anticipated games - Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth and Spider-Man 2 are locked out for me and other PC-users until the end of January (soon!). But that's not to say I didn't have fun with interactive media these past twelve months. Read on to find out what I think was the best of it.

TOP 10 MOVIES OF 2024

 

 

2024 has been a funny year for entertainment. Unlike many previous years, I cannot speak of one cinematic event that truly stood out. There's no Barbenheimer counter programming despite Glicked trying too hard to be a thing (maybe if they chose Wadiator it would be different?). No teenagers in tuxes turned out for Despicable Me 4 like they did with the pandemic-delayed Minions 2. And more to the point, there were a notable lack of comic book movies whirling through projectors. It is also the year that, after the success of Everything Everywhere All at Once and Poor Things (which was a 2024 movie in the UK), the uber-weird became the new critical darling. Watch The Substance, Love Lies Bleeding or Better Man and you'll get an idea what I mean. But that doesn't mean this year wasn't a memorable one. Far from it. Read on to read my movie reviews of the year and catch my Top 10 while you're at it...
