Okay. It’s done. The floodgates were holding all the pressure they could. The pot was ready to boil over. The One Ring with ancient Elven dollar signs etched into it was just too tempting for the big boys in suits. Triple-A games have just had another significant jump in price. The catalyst? The plumber. Mario Kart World, the long-awaited follow-up toMario Kart 8, is $80.All we needed was someone to do it, someone to take the plunge, and now the others will follow....

This article has major spoilers for Oblivion’s Dark Brotherhood quest line. Yes, this is a warning for a nineteen-year-old spoiler. Summary Oblivion Remasteredis a very faithful recreation of Oblivion. The two games are far closer aligned than anyone would have imagined during the rumour-laden months preceding the game’s surprise release.

Whether that be because you pickpocketed a few things you shouldn’t have or ‘accidentally’ killed someone in plain sight,it’s safe to say that most of us have been behind bars a few times....
