All things gaming
Overwatch isn’t a new game to me. I’ve spent countless hours grinding my way through seasons on Xbox, trying out all the heroes, giving maps a spin and working to get out of Silver. Truth be told, I got bored and frustrated. So I haven’t played for a good 10 months or so. When it […]
Not content with two different sets of gaming earbuds, I decided it was worth checking out another competitor in the space. HyperX, another big player in the gaming headset and accessories market. I’ve reviewed and used their headsets in the past and had really positive experiences, so my expectations are perhaps a little higher than […]
Forza Horizon 4, Battle Royale. What?! A series of games synonymous with realistic driving, licensed car models and sprawling world maps in which to explore and race. Dipping it’s toes in the water of a pretty well-established genre that rarely involves racing, realistic cars, or anything that Forza delivers as a standard. There’s no way […]
On paper, the idea of a crossover between the iconic Mario series, and the Ubisoft Rabbids, does not seem like a good idea. Rather, it sounds like a kids game, likely full of little party games and very little depth. In practice, I’ve found myself a light-hearted, colourful and fun tactical game to help satiate […]
I’m no psychologist or even anyone with knowledge/interest in human behaviour, so this isn’t some kind of scientific piece. But I’ve been noticng the impact of being rewarded with achievements and trophies in gaming, and it’s got me thinking. Are we better with them, or would we be better without? Achievements and trophies Achievements/Trophies/Badges, […]
We all know Turtle Beach as one of the leading purveyors of gaming headsets, right? I know that when I see the brand, I can expect a headset of good quality for a reasonable price. With that in mind, I’ve been thinking a lot recently about how best to cover my gaming audio requirements across […]
Where on earth do you draw a line under Super Smash Bros. games, to be able to confidently give them a review? A seemingly endless game, packed-full with fun, collectibles, game modes and spirits. Worse still, how do you review a game in a series as iconic as Super Smash Bros? Easy, really. All Smash […]
Level 30, World Tier 1. What?! The Division 2 did the impossible, and kept me engaged, when I didn’t expect it would. I’ve finished the story and hit max level in The Division 2. As with any kind of MMO, that means I’m now in the “proper” game, right? This is where you get all […]
The past month has seen quite a drop in me creating and publishing posts. Not so much because I have nothing to write about, but because I’m struggling for time at the minute. Coffee is being drunk, games are being played, but I’m not getting it all up here. With four or five half-written pieces […]
Approximately a year and a half ago, I decided to give No Man’s Sky a spin on the PS4. At the time it was a Playstation exclusive and had seen somewhat of a renaissance since release, so I was pretty excited to pick it up. Everything was good. Fun even. But I’m not a survival/crafting […]
