How on earth does someone describe Inscryption? Let me tell you now, I’d heard a lot about it, but didn’t really know what it was. So I thought it would be easier to play it and explain it from there. I was wrong. Inscryption is a gem, it’s creepy, clever, fun and well…..it’s Inscryption. I’m […]
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 […]
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 […]
Anthem isn’t a game I’ve been particularly fussed about if I’m honest. Another online loot shooter with rpg elements…..it isn’t exactly breaking the mould, right? Well, yes and no. Thanks to a friend code, I was able to download the demo and jump in for a couple of hours over the weekend. Having not really […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I finished my playthrough of Sleeping Dogs. Re-living some fond memories, seeing how times have changed my expectations of open world gaming, and most importantly…….kicking ass as Wei Shen at every given opportunity. I finished the main campaign, collected all the Jade Statues, did some cop work, opened some lock boxes, won some fight tournaments […]
