I’ve written briefly about the contenders for this years’ Game of the Year and honestly, it hasn’t been as cut-and-dry as some might expect. 2023 has been an absolute belter of a year for gaming, and whilst my contenders are but a small sample of what’s been out there. They’re certainly some of the best, […]

Quick Look: Max Payne 3
I’m not massively familiar with the Max Payne series, truth be told. Although I did buy and try to play Max Payne 3 at release on what I think was the Xbox 360? Dropping off for various reasons years ago, I just never gave it any further thought until recently. It was a a recommendation […]
Game of the Year 2023 – The Contenders
I’ve toyed with this for a good month now. Looking at how I can write about the best games I’ve played this year. Going over them in advance etc. But honestly, time to get it all together and make a big fuss out of our game of the year 2023 hasn’t really been there. Still, […]
Review – The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was like a breath of fresh air, offering an experience that somehow goes beyond what its predecessor, Breath of the Wild, delivered. Not only revisiting the charm and vastness of Hyrule but enhances every aspect, making the familiar feel new and fresh. That first skydive from the […]
Quick Look: Sifu
I’ve had a few hours in the PC version of Sifu now, which became available earlier this year on Steam. Thanks to some Black Friday magic, I’ve been able to dive-in fists first to see what its all about. The game itself isn’t quite what I’d expected, but based on reviews etc that I’d read, […]
Horizon Forbidden West: Final thoughts
When reviewing a game, I try really hard to get it done efficiently. Enough time to take it all in, enough time to see the story through, see some side quests and explore the world. Horizon Forbidden West was no different, or my intentions weren’t any different…. Now 14 months later, I’ve finished it. I […]
The Finals – Open Beta
Until yesterday, my awareness of The Finals was minimal. I saw a lot of press get excited about a closed test earlier in the year, and promptly forgot about it. Then it was brought to my attention (thanks TommyGunLovers!) that the open beta was live as of 26th October. So, a quick download (it’s a […]

This season, aptly named “Reckoning,” ushers in a host of changes and additions that promise to redefine your Halo experience. From new maps and modes to enhanced customization […]
Quick Look: Monster Hunter Now
Niantic’s ongoing quest to replicate the monumental success of Pokémon Go has led to numerous attempts, but it’s Monster Hunter Now that might finally break through. From the moment I was greeted by the iconic “Proof of a Hero” theme song on the game’s home screen, it became evident that Monster Hunter Now was a […]

Note it’s for the Windows Store in Europe only, but that shouldn’t be an issue for anyone really, so get entering and get stuck in! ninjarefinery.com – Halo Master Chief Collection […]
