Friday Wishlist Sale: Six Great Deals And One Man Who Is Wrong About GTA 6

Arielle Pieterse — Fri, 28 Aug 2026 08:15:47 +0000

There are weeks when putting together NAG’s Friday Wishlist Sale is a peaceful little exercise. We gather everyone’s picks, find some good discounts, write a few paragraphs about why we want them and send you into the weekend with considerably less money than you started with. This is not one of those weeks. Last night, the NAG crew gathered together to watch the extended Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay reveal. There was excitement. There was shouting. There were people losing […]

Agent Avenue Is a Delightfully Sneaky Board Game About Retired Spies, Bluffing and Bad Neighbours

Arielle Pieterse — Fri, 28 Aug 2026 06:51:50 +0000

There are plenty of reasons not to trust your neighbours. Maybe they keep putting their bins out three days early. Maybe their dog has been staring through your window for an uncomfortable amount of time. Or maybe, just maybe, the lovely retired fox across the road is actually a former secret agent trying to expose your identity. Welcome to Agent Avenue, a wonderfully colourful competitive card game where suburban pleasantries and international espionage collide. Designed for 2-4 players and with […]

5 More Upcoming Games From Gamescom 2026 That Have Taken Over My Wishlist

Arielle Pieterse — Fri, 28 Aug 2026 06:18:26 +0000

Apparently, five games weren’t enough. After digging through Gamescom 2026 Opening Night Live and finding Acornia: Mirror Worlds, Murals, Age Twisters, Mariachi Legends and LEGO Skylines, I could have closed my browser, congratulated myself on discovering some cool upcoming games and carried on with my life. Instead, I kept looking. This was a mistake. Because hiding among Gamescom’s endless trailers, announcements and enormous releases was another collection of games seemingly designed specifically to make my already unmanageable wishlist even worse. […]

Busting My Backlog: Blasphemous

Cody Nery Thomson — Thu, 27 Aug 2026 12:39:29 +0000

Another week gone by, another game from my backlog busted. After seven whole-ish days of me getting as much time as I can with a game, I’m going to let you all know what I think of it by ranking it into the following categories: 1. Buyer’s Remorse Loading (Don’t buy this game, and if you already have, as I did… Eish.) 2. It Can Wait (Play it like at the end of your backlog. Maybe even after a few […]

Acer Nitro V 15 First Look: AMD Ryzen 7 and RTX 5050 included

Regardt van der Berg — Thu, 27 Aug 2026 09:05:13 +0000

I’m always excited when a new gaming notebook lands on my desk. Ever since Nvidia’s 50-series mobile GPUs became mainstream, gaming notebooks have had a noticeable bump in performance versus price, across the board. For budget gamers like me, this means we get a lot more value from entry-level and mid-range gaming notebooks than ever before. One GPU that has really filled a nice gap in the notebook space is the Nvidia RTX 5050, which sits on the entry side […]

5 Upcoming Games From Gamescom 2026 That Immediately Earned a Spot on My Wishlist

Arielle Pieterse — Thu, 27 Aug 2026 08:00:56 +0000

There are sensible ways to maintain a gaming wishlist. You could carefully curate it, remove games you’ve lost interest in and only add things you realistically intend to play. Or you could watch Gamescom Opening Night Live 2026 and behave like me. Because while the enormous announcements and familiar franchises inevitably get much of the attention at events like Gamescom, I’m always hunting for the slightly stranger games lurking between them. The ones built around a mechanic, art style or […]

Avatar: The Gap Year – Tipping Point Review: What a Fresh Place Pandora Used To Be

Sock0Puppet — Thu, 27 Aug 2026 07:12:23 +0000

I have to admit something right here and now, before Arielle figures it out and personally drives to my apartment to hang me. I don’t like James Cameron’s Avatar. Genuinely, I thought this was connected to the new Avatar: The Last Airbender projects when I said I wanted to review this comic. Wow, I feel so much lighter after that. Almost like a new spring in my step. So how was Avatar: The Gap Year – Tipping Point? Pretty damn […]

Dystopicon Review: Who’s Watching The Watchmen?

BigMacDaddy — Thu, 27 Aug 2026 06:38:04 +0000

Are you the type of person who speaks in a hushed tone around the phone in case it is listening? Do you wish you could SMS “STOP ALL” to the algos? Then Dystopicon is type of game that will have you put a tinfoil hat on your tinfoil hat! Taking leaves from novels such as 1984, Ubik, Animal Farm and just about any dystopian satirical literature you can think of, the game acts as a social experiment about time management […]

Wishlist Wednesday: Well Dweller, Corpse Knight, Entropy And A Marvel’s Wolverine PS5

Arielle Pieterse — Wed, 26 Aug 2026 08:54:48 +0000

Another Wednesday has arrived, which means it is once again time to inspect the increasingly crowded corner of my brain reserved exclusively for things I absolutely do not need but have nevertheless decided would improve my life considerably. Wishlist Wednesday is where I gather the comic books, board games, video games and wonderfully unnecessary pieces of gaming tech that have been living rent-free in my head over the last seven days. Sometimes there is a theme. Sometimes there is restraint. […]

3 Wonderfully Nerdy LEGO Sets That Belong on Every Geek’s Wishlist

Arielle Pieterse — Wed, 26 Aug 2026 08:25:27 +0000

There has arguably never been a better time to be an adult LEGO fan. There has also arguably never been a worse time to be an adult LEGO fan with limited shelf space, limited disposable income and absolutely no ability to look at a wonderfully nerdy LEGO set and say, “No, thank you.” LEGO has become exceptionally good at taking the games, movies, television shows and franchises many of us grew up obsessing over and transforming them into elaborate LEGO […]
