Chella hails from the UK and joined Gameindustry.com around the year 2000. It was so many moons ago, she can't quite remember. Back then, the only women you saw in the games industry were in bikinis and vertiginous heels at trade shows - oh how times have changed, kind of. Chella started as a humble reviewer, but soon became our European Correspondent and keeps us on top of industry happenings across the Pond.
She tends to like the weird Japanese games we've never heard of, so that's good for making us look all-encompassing and stuff. Chella does like games, so don't be fooled by the copious amount of columns devoted to bemoaning the lack of variety in the industry. When she's not surfing (the sea, not the internet) or camping up mountains, Chella likes a good action RPG (especially if it's sci-fi), anything with a good narrative and like we said, the weirder the better. She's also a regular in the GiN Lounge, but that's just because we like her accent.
This week on Argue the Toss, Drew and Chella discuss Uncharted: The Lost Legacy – the standalone game starring Nadine Ross and Chloe Frazer. It seems Uncharted is just as good without Nathan Drake.
Nathan Drake is the charismatic heart of the Uncharted series. At least, he was until Chloe Frazer and Nadine Ross swung into town for their own standalone game, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. We go treasure hunting with this new dynamic duo to see what golden gameplay we can uncover.
Dean Takahashi posted a video of himself playing Cuphead badly and the internet lost it. Chella looks at the obsession with games being hard and gamers having to ‘get good’ as another form of gatekeeping.
Drew and Chella Argue the Toss about The Defenders – the new Marvel Netflix show, which brings together Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Daredevil and Iron Fist.
Too many 30-hour games just use filler to distract the player. Chella examines the benefits of shorter video games and the need for developers to respect the player’s time.
This week Argue The Toss discusses Fullbright’s space exploration game (no wait, not that kind of space exploration) Tacoma, and Ninja Theory’s unique Celtic/Norse psychological action-thriller (yes, really) Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice.
Chella’s surprised by the amount of great games coming out this August. If you’ve been caught napping, have no fear because here are the must play August games of 2017.
This week on Argue the Toss, Drew and Chella have distilled the 50 or so new trailers released at San Diego Comic-Con 2017 to the eight or nine that you should really care about. Thor Ragnarok, Star Trek Discovery, Dirk Gently and more.
New research from Nesta shows that the average gamer is educated, cultured and a woman of 43. Chella says it’s time to stop asking ‘do women play games?’ and focus on becoming an industry that encourages more women to make games.
Drew and Chella offer an in-depth discussion of Night of the Living Dead, in honour of George A. Romero who died this week. The ATTeam look at the evolution of zombies from films to games.
