A busy October for video games

Unsplash - JESHOOTS In 2020, Animal Crossing New Horizons and Doom Eternal both released on the same day. These two games would also gain acclaim from fans and critics, Doom Eternal was another solid shoot-em-up game and ACNH would go on to sell over 40 million copies (especially when the COVID Pandemic had occurred that same year). Three years later, the video game scene is experiencing another blockbuster month as new releases have been announced and set for release. Four games have been making waves online and in the general public. While we have seen these type of situations occur throughout the history of video games, it's pretty interesting that Mario, Sonic, Spiderman and Alan Wake will arrive this month.

However, when you walk up the park towards the high street, I find myself looking at a shopping centre where almost every single store has been shut down. The shopping centre is called the Riverside. There are cones situated around the centre, the coffee shop is serving no customers, the local radio is playing music and only a few people pass through to shelter from the rain. So what happened? and why has the Riverside found itself deserted? Let's take a look. Thanks to Teresa Cerra for finding this photo In the early 20th century, Evesham's high street was not pedestrianised; this meant that cars could drive through the street full of shops. But there were no car parks on the street, and so a plan was created to build a shopping centre with a car park to woo over big retail chains from the UK. In 1990, construction wa
