All things gaming
2018 has been a pretty great year for Ninja Refinery, but better still for gaming in general. Of course, it’s the end of the year and everyone feels obliged to create “best of” lists and rate everything, usually in a ranked list. To hell with that though. Ninja Refinery doesn’t believe in scores and rankings. […]
I have no idea how to say this, nor did I ever expect to say it about a game in a series I’ve clearly misunderstood. So, I’ll try this: God of War is one of the best games I’ve ever played. It’s in that top 10 of all-time greats that I maintain in my head. […]
It’s no secret that I’m a Halo fan. Hell, my wedding ring is a Halo! As far as Halo games go, I’ve played them all. Most of the campaigns have been finished multiple times, and all of them on Legendary. Beyond that, I’ve spent countless hours playing multiplayer, either online or LAN’s between bedrooms at […]
It’s been 12 months as of December 12th since Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) was released on the Xbox one. In this time, it’s been a shoddy mess and it’s been fixed up and refined. The fixes and patches haven’t made it this 60fps wonder-shooter. In fact, it’s still a little ropey. Truth is though, there’s no […]
I expected to blitz through the story of God of War. Envisioning a linear, fast-paced, brawler of sorts, with what appeared to be a strong narrative. Well…….I’m an idiot and now I feel like I’ve not given the whole series even half of the chance it deserves. Since getting deep into the PS4 title, I’ve […]
We mostly play games for fun, right? To attain a certain level of satisfaction. Whether that’s achieving something (solving a puzzle, getting that last shot in to take someone down with you, seeing the conclusion of a story you’ve clung to from day one etc). Beyond these almost “expected” satisfactions, though, are arguably the deeper, […]
God of War has been on the “must play” list for a little while now, but never enough to get round to buying it. Thankfully, a very generous benefactor send me a code to buy it through the PSN store, and well, here we are. After writing only a week ago about not getting new […]
I’ve done it! In just over 40 hours of play I’ve completed the main story of Red Dead Redemption 2. What a ride it was. The last time I wrote about my experiences, I was a little dour and perhaps negative. In truth, I was in the midst of a long slog through a game […]
Gaming is without a doubt my favourite hobby, alongside writing on here, playing guitar, drinking coffee etc. The problem is, no matter what I’m doing, I’m almost always considering what’s next, and never fully “in the moment” as it were. Sure I get immersed, but then I have to return to real life and I […]
I’ve just about hit the 30 hour mark in Red Dead Redemption 2, which is actually kind of incredible, considering that I rarely get more than an hour at at time to play anything in one go. The thing is, 30 hours in a lot of games would have seen a high percentage toward completion. […]
