Coverage Archive

Older news, previews and reviews from earlier in the site’s run, going back to 2009. This is the full back catalog outside the current review slate — browse by date below.

The list spans several console generations rather than a single era: Xbox 360 and PS3-era reviews sit alongside DS and 3DS handheld coverage, Wii mini-game round-ups, and PC previews from studios that in some cases no longer exist in their original form. Some entries are full reviews with a final verdict, others are shorter previews or news posts written around a single trailer, screenshot set or announcement — the format simply reflects how games media covered releases at the time each piece was published.

Nothing here has been rewritten to look newer than it is. Publish dates are left as originally posted, and older posts are kept in their original voice rather than edited to match current-generation review conventions. The current review slate — PS5, Xbox Series X, Switch and PC titles reviewed under today’s scoring system — lives on the platform hub pages and the Game Rankings page instead, so this archive stays a straightforward historical record rather than a mix of eras competing for the same spotlight.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far back does the Coverage Archive go?

The earliest entries date to 2009, covering the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and original DS generation. The archive runs forward from there up to the point where the current review slate begins.

Are archive entries reviews or news posts?

Both. Some are full reviews with a verdict, while others are shorter previews or news items written around a single trailer, screenshot batch or announcement from that period.

Have the older posts been rewritten to look current?

No. Publish dates and the original voice of each post are left as they were, so the archive reads as a historical record rather than new content dressed up as old.

Where do I find the current, actively scored reviews?

Current-generation PS5, Xbox Series X, Switch and PC reviews live on their platform hub pages and are compared side by side on the Game Rankings page, separate from this historical archive.
