Pushing Buttons: Video games have always been queer – here are my favourites

Welcome back to Pushing Buttons, folks. In case you're wondering where I've been, I was on secondment from video games for a week covering Glastonbury. Thankfully, a decade-plus of E3 coverage prepared me well for the fragrant crowds and inevitable liveblogging tech issues. Thank you to our ever-brilliant games correspondent Keith Stuart for covering for me while I screwed my head back on after the festival. Pride events took place in London last weekend, and among the million people lining the streets for the event's 50th-anniversary were parade contingents from PlayStation, Microsoft and Square Enix, among other game publishers and developers.
