Youtuber – Reubs 

Reubs is a Kiwi youtuber recreating nostalgic games like Modern Warfare 2 and The Simpsons: Hit and Run on his computer. Reuben gives himself a week to create at least one level or mission from the game. The way technology has advanced since these games were released, he is able to create higher definition graphics and animations for the character’s movements – overall creating a remastered version of the game.

So nostalgic and fun to watch – check him out on Youtube and support an innovative Kiwi.

Elden Ring

The latest and greatest action open-world RPG Elden Ring has become one of the biggest games of all time. Notorious for being extremely difficult and with no guidance or training in the early stages of the game, players are immersed into a fantasy world having to fend for themselves from the get-go.

The game has been praised for its graphics, gameplay and captivating storyline but it has also been criticised for being too difficult and not providing enough information to new players.
