John-Paul Jones

John-Paul Jones

Scribbling about videogames since 2005, John-Paul Jones first stoked his love for the industry with the Atari 65XE at the age of four before proceeding onto the ZX Spectrum, Amiga and beyond. These days, he finds himself unreasonably excited about Sega's Yakuza franchise, foreign cinema and generally trying to keep his trio of sausage dogs from burning his house down. Clearly, he is living his best life right now.

Legacy Of Kain: Soul Reaver At 25 - Why We Need A Remaster

August 19th, 2024 John-Paul Jones
Ever since Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver stalked onto the scene a quarter of a century ago, it’s fair to say that the trials and tribulations of its spectral protagonist, Raziel, have lingered long in the memories of those who were lucky enough to play it back in the day. With a whole new...

While sprawling amusement parks and beloved animated movies often spring to mind when you think of the House of Mouse, the company has also produced a wealth of video games over the last three decades. Beyond the classic 2D platformers of the 8-bit and 16-bit eras, Disney has delivered a diverse...

How Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown Evolves The Test Drive Unlimited Series

August 13th, 2024 John-Paul Jones
Though the eye-searing sheen of Microsoft’s Forza Horizon games might convince more contemporary players that the whole open-world racing shtick was pioneered by The House of Xbox, that whole template was actually conceived much earlier by the Test Drive Unlimited titles way back in the dark...

Ten Things We're Looking Forward To In Warhammer 40,000: Space Marines 2

August 8th, 2024 John-Paul Jones
Thirteen years is certainly a long time to wait for any game and yet fans of 2011’s Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, including myself, will tell you that by all accounts Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 looks to be worth it and then some. So with that in mind, here are ten things that we’re...

How Frostpunk 2 Brings Back The Series Brutalist Strategy In A New Way

August 7th, 2024 John-Paul Jones
It was probably after desperately stealing some medication from someone’s ailing grandfather in 2014’s This War Of Mine, that I realised developer 11 Bit Studios had a real grasp of brutalist tactics and more pointedly, a handle on making the player twist their moral compass in the name of...

Everything You Need To Know About Star Wars Outlaws

August 5th, 2024 John-Paul Jones
Quite possibly the most promising Star Wars title in years, Star Wars Outlaws reimagines the Lucasfilm space opus as a huge open-world extravaganza, tasking players to strap on the boots of a rugged smuggler who must traverse, shoot, sneak and steal their way across the galaxy in an epic odyssey...

How Capcom Became The Masters Of Remasters And Remakes

August 3rd, 2024 John-Paul Jones
It’s fair to say that the notion of remastering or remaking a title of any renown inhabits the same mind space as creating a new title from scratch. Sure, while you effectively have a source material of sorts to start from, versus nothing for an entirely new title, you still must wrestle with...

Everything You Need To Know About Concord

July 10th, 2024 John-Paul Jones
Concord combines the hyperkinetic ferocity of Overwatch with the roguish intergalactic shenanigans of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy and a real focus on story progression to create a fresh entry into the increasingly crowded hero shooter genre. If you’re tired of the current crop of hero...

How Slay The Spire Became The Gold Standard For All Card Battler Games

June 25th, 2024 John-Paul Jones
Right up until November 14, 2017, my disdain for the card battler genre was both all-consuming and utterly ignorant. Though I had tried my hands at earlier fare such as Blizzard’s Hearthstone among others, it’s fair to say that card battler games just didn’t click with me and as time went on...

Easily one of the most highly anticipated releases of the year, not to mention a remake that has been a good few years in the making, Konami and Bloober Team’s reimagination of survival horror classic Silent Hill 2 is almost here. Though the story remains untouched, it will nonetheless bring...
