All things gaming
It’s no secret that I’m a sucker for a battle royale game. But it’s a market that quickly became saturated, and essentially dominated by only two games (up until recently when Black Ops 4 came out with their Blackout mode). One game that came out on PC a while ago, and tried to join in […]
True story: I had low expectations for Red Dead Redemption 2. I don’t know why, because it was obviously going to be critically acclaimed, and there was almost a guarantee of the 10/10’s and 5-star reviews. I kind of dreaded the prospect of playing it if I’m honest. Knowing it would be big, and perhaps […]
Horizon Zero Dawn seems like a game that requires no introduction. A runaway success almost straight out of the gates, and completely drowning in critical acclaim. Released in February 2017, I’ve often fancied giving it a try, but it’s never been at the top of my list in the ever-increasing world of current-generation “must play” […]
The Battlefield series is one that I’ve loved for several years now. From Battlefield 1943 to the Bad Company games, Hardline and the core Battlefield games (namely 3 and 4). Then came Battlefield 1……..I was kind of unimpressed at the premise. Don’t ask me why, because I’m not sure. Perhaps because I was burned-out on […]
Sometimes we have an experience with something that ends up either being so profound, or perhaps exceptional, that we struggle to leave that world. I’ve had it happen with books, films, TV series and of course games. What’s the problem? As I mentioned before, sometimes, you just give up and get on with your […]
Spider-man games have been published for years and years, in fact, one of my first Game Boy games was “The Amazing Spider-Man”, a game that 6-year old me loved, but didn’t really progress through very far. Since then, I’ve played plenty of Spider-Man games across different consoles. Movie tie-ins, stand-alone titles, the lot. I always […]
It’s here! It’s finally here. PUBG is now out of beta and officially “full release” on Xbox. As such, it seems like it should be eligible for a proper review now. Right? Beta to full release? How different is the PUBG full release compared to the initial release at the back-end of last year? Well, […]
To be clear, Shenmue is one of my all-time favourite games. A title that it’s had for the better part of 20 years. This isn’t a review of the game, rather a review of the remaster that was released a couple of weeks ago. By modern standards, Shenmue isn’t a masterpiece, and I’d certainly struggle […]
Sometimes you just can’t find the time, nor the will to see something through. Never watched all of that classic film? Didn’t finish that play through of a game that everyone raves about? That killer Netflix series that you just stopped watching half-way through? We’ve all done it, and I think it’s ok. This is […]
It’s very easy to write Warframe off as a free-to-play game and ignore it (like I did up until this year). Having said that, it’s also very easy to get lost and confused by the depth and quantity of systems in-game. Multiple currencies, planets, alerts, different Warframes, quests, Archwings, Kubrows, Sentinels, mods, statues, stars…….There’s so […]
