Independent gaming journalism and esports coverage, built by gamers for gamers in Australia.
BlastCores was founded in Sydney in 2021 by a team of competitive gamers, journalists, and esports enthusiasts who believed the Australian gaming community deserved better coverage. What started as a small review blog quickly grew into one of Australia's most-read gaming platforms.
Today, our editorial team of twelve writers, analysts, and tournament correspondents covers everything from AAA blockbusters to indie gems, with a particular focus on the thriving Australian esports scene.
We attend major events across the country — from Melbourne to Brisbane, Perth to Sydney — delivering first-hand reports, player interviews, and unbiased game reviews that our readers trust.
The principles that guide every review and article we publish.
We accept no payments for positive reviews. Every score reflects our genuine assessment of the game.
We cover the local gaming scene with the depth it deserves — from grassroots tournaments to national championships.
Our reviews go beyond surface impressions. We spend meaningful time with every game before publishing a verdict.
Our readers shape what we cover. We actively listen to community feedback and prioritise the games that matter to you.
