The Jimquisition: Arkham Shite

Batman: Arkham Knight's shameful PC tale is one for the history books. A chaotic mess of controversy with some unprecedented situations, it's a masterclass in how exactly NOT to treat a PC version of a major game release.

It's a meaty story, and one worth recording. Let's pull apart th...

Review: Sonic Runners

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/06/sonic-runners-review/ Reviews of bad Sonic games just bring out the best in me, I feel. Sad thing is, this could've been good. It sort of IS good... until ...

Podquisition Episode 31: Fuck The Batmobile

On this week’s bat-episode, we talk about how utterly horrible the Batmobile is in Batman: Arkham Knight. We also

natter about the shoddy PC port, which hadn’t been pulled from Steam when we’d recorded.

There’s plenty of other chat too. We talk about Her Story for a bit, L...

The Jimquisition: Shenmue 3 - The Good, The Bad, And The Iffy

It was an undeniably strong E3 2015 last week, with little room for upset. Unless you're a Metroid fan, obviously. After days of strong representation, exciting new games, Final Fantasy VII, and a PC showcase that lasted seventeen hours, it's time to get back down to earth.

Let's chat a...

Please understand - due to some outdated information thanks to Shenmue 3's PR mess, I've decided to add some further content to the video and swap out the less relevant stuff. A better episode of The Jimquisition will be here very soon!

Podquisition Episode 30: E3 2015

Laura Kate comes to us LIVE from the E3 2015 press room as we discuss everything that went down during a surprisingly excellent event. Xbox did good, Sony did good, Square Enix... well... Square Enix had a big round headed guy, at least.

We go through all the pressers, from Bethesda to ...

Review: Her Story

http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/06/her-story-review/
Experimental, and most definitely not for everybody. Found myself drawn in by this one, though. It's surprisingly gripping if you allow yourse...

The Jimquisition: The Episode About Unity Engine Being Good

Remember when I said I'd do an episode about Unity Engine being good, and instead whined about amiibo a whole bunch? Well, it's finally time to pay the piper, and stick up for an engine that's gone through a lot of abuse lately.

Let's balance the scales and get to it, shall we?

The Jimquisition: Steam Refunds

Steam has finally delivered some basic customer service in the form of a refund policy. This is a good thing. A damn good thing. A long overdue, much needed, very good thing.

Naturally, this means there's a debate about it with some people saying it's a bad thing. A number of developer...

I wrote about what would happen at E3 if I were running the show. I should really run the bloody show!

Podquisition 28: Fallout 4 And Torture Porn

On this week’s podcast, we manage to get a whole lot of conversation in about Fallout 4 and Steam’s refund policy, both of which made the show fly by!

We also provide our predictions for E3, and by that I mean Laura has become legitimately scary and might very well be in line to dir...

The Jimquisition: The Splatoon Straw That Broke Amiibo's Back

Amiibo can go take a running jump at this point. After the abysmal mess that was Wave 4's launch, and the continued benefit to scumbags that these things provide, I'm done.

Splatoon was the final straw - a great game in its own right, with amiibo functionality that genuinely justifies t...

Podquisition Episode 27: Dank Cumsocks

On this week's vile excuse for a show, Laura finally gets The Witcher 3 working, but doesn't play it. She also eats horrible dogfood-chocolate stuff, because that's what you're here for.

Threats, murder, and shaky political alliances. Just another day in Westeros.

Mad Max Makes Me Wonder Where All The Australians Went

Despite capitulating to fan demand and making Max Australian in the new Mad Max game, it seems Avalanche Studios will still boast a predominantly American cast. Is it nitpicking to find this a problem? I don't think so, and explain why in this editorial.
