Assassin’s Creed Odyssey – Further thoughts
I’ve hit just over 20 hours in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey now and I think I’ve got the measure of it. Compared to the excellent Assassin’s Creed Origins, it doesn’t quite stack-up, but it’s one hell of a game anyway. It looks stunning, gives you a massive world to play in, and countless hours-worth of stuff […]
Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Animal Crossing is a series that I’ve had very very little to do with over the years. Apart from the mobile game that I got bored of quite quickly, I’ve never really given it a chance. I know that people that are into it, are really really into it. I know the bells are a […]
Embarking upon an Odyssey with Assassin’s Creed
I had a really good time in Assassin’s Creed Origins and had always planned to eventually get to the next game in the series “Odyssey”. Although I hadn’t expected to get into it quite so soon. Feeling a little burnt-out on the open-world of Origins, I’ve had a few months away from the series. Plus […]
Visiting the past: Link’s Awakening
My first Zelda game was Link’s Awakening on the Gameboy. I didn’t really know what it was, but the box with a sword and shield on it seemed to be enough to make me want it. Bearing in mind I was 10 at the time, I had a love for the Zelda series kick-started and […]
Raid life – Ding dong Calus is gone
We did it! Raid night was a success. Released September 2017, the Leviathan raid was the first to come in Destiny 2. Never known as a clan to attempt world firsts, or even manage to get into raids until they’re likely complete backwards, solo and one-handed by a dog. That’s never been important. The VasDown […]
Games and our approach to them
A mantra used in so many methodologies, from project management to development of software and plans for meetings/sessions. What about games, though? Plan, Do, Review. It’s clear, it’s concise and it’s remarkably effective. A cycle, not a linear map to follow. As soon as you hit the “review” phase, you go back to planning your […]
Pokemon Sword – Change is good
My love for Pokemon is years-long and runs deep. I’ve played everything from Blue, onwards (with exceptions of non-base games like Ultra Moon and Ultra Sun). I haven’t finished them all, mind. Pokemon Black was just enough to bore me to tears, and I’ve not finished Apha Sapphire. However, I did finish the original Ruby, […]
Ninja Refinery 2020
A whole new decade is upon us! 2020 is going to see the release of the next generation of consoles, and no dooubt the improvement of the “games as a service” model (Stadia, XCloud etc). Fantastic, right?! Well, yeah. But that’s potentially a lot of money, and honestly, a lot of time that I’m not […]
