My second “Inspired by” piece is a little broader than just the “NoClip” name, it’s actually more about the man behind the project and how I’ve followed his career, being inspired over and over by the quality of his work, his obvious passion and of course his delivery. That man is Danny O’Dwyer, a gaming […]

Headset Review: HyperX Cloud Stinger
I’ve only ever heard of HyperX in the context of computing, so I was very surprised to find that they create gaming headsets, and not just basic gear, but proper, high-end headsets. Not necessarily aimed at the console market, HyperX are (to my surprise), quite a big name in the PC gaming arena. With that […]
Playing Battle Royale games the “right” way
Playing “Battle Royale” games is becoming something of a big deal in gaming as of late.

Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds – It’s here!
A few hours early, and my code for Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds was sent through to get stuck in on Xbox One. After weeks of waiting, reading and studying, I felt like I was quite prepared to dive in and go for it…….I was, kind of. By my 3rd round, I managed to get a 3rd place […]

That’s no bad thing at all, in fact, I’m pleased and a little surprised at my consistency in my approach to certain things. Mixing things up On the flip-side of being pleased of how consistent things have grown […]
Mobile gaming: Lineage 2 Revolution
Here’s a sentence I never expected to say or write: I’m currently playing an MMORPG on my mobile phone. Weirder still, it’s actually really good, and feels (to my limited knowledge and level of experience), like a “real” MMORPG. The game is Lineage 2 Revolution, and it’s kind of blowing my mind at the minute. […]
Coming back to Titanfall 2
The best thing about playing Mirror’s Edge Catalyst, was the fact that it reminded me of how fluid and excellent it is being a pilot in Titanfall, and more specifically Titanfall 2. The Titanfall games I was one of those that pre-ordered Titanfall for the Xbox 360. No game footage was shown for it, the […]

Clocking in at just under seven and a half hours, I’ve finished the campaign of Mirror’s Edge Catalyst. Honestly, I’m not sure I’ll bother going back for more, it is what it is, and it’s done now. The good Ok, so it does the parkour thing pretty well (it’s the main selling point of the […]
