I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike The PC Gaming Show is never a stream I focus on as I don’t really game on my PC. But with so many of these games jumping over to console, I decided to give it a go this year and I’m glad I did. Because had I skipped the show, I likely wouldn’t have learned about Parcel Corps.

While it’s not the product of a Photoshop wizard, the calendar earnestly features gigantic cats being their amazing furry selves. They play, they scratch, they think about life, and…

The trifecta Konami is responsible for my top three games on the Sega Genesis console. I’ve covered Rocket Knight Adventures and Castlevania: Bloodlines already, but the third is Contra: Hard Corps. The thing is, while the former two titles are difficult trials in their own right, Contra: Hard Corps is one that I’ve never been able to fully consummate with. It’s hard. It’s right there in the title. The biggest reason why these three titles are even difficult is that Konami had this strange insistence on using limited…

The English translation of the title of Cédric Klapisch’s latest could be a little more evocative. The original French title, En Corps, is a kind of double entendre, both something related to the body and also the company of a dance troupe. Appropriately so, as this film is all about the self-discovery journey of Elise (Marion Barbeau), a classical ballet prima donna who struggles to reclaim her place in the dance world following an injury on stage.Her affliction is emotional as well as physical; it occurs right after…
