As much as I love realisim, a great narrative, next-level game design and genre-bending mechanics. Sometimes I like to just play a game that knows it’s a game, and just enjoy some mindless carnage. I mean who doesn’t love ragdoll physics on NPC’s and the ability to just blow stuff up on a whim? It’s […]

Overwatch – Halloween Terror 2017
I’m late to the party, in fact, I’m really late because I missed the event completely last year. So I’ve dropped Destiny 2 (long overdue to be honest) and dipped back in to Overwatch. It’s coming up to Halloween, and my goodness do the Americans love it! So, games start to get some Halloween-themed content […]
The difference a headset makes.
Most people know this already, and honestly, I have no idea why it’s taken me so long to realise this myself. Something that rings true with anything involving audio, something I know. I just never put that knowledge, and my love of gaming together….. Audio sounds better through headphones. Ok, so after stating the obvious, […]
Fortnite Battle Royale – Getting started
The drama around Fortnite – Battle Royale has, as far as I can tell, only been a good source of press for Epic Games, and it’s got people ready to give it a go, even if it’s just to say it isn’t anywhere near as good as PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. Evidently, there is no such thing […]
Keeping up……
It’s September, a few weeks after the Destiny 2 release, and I’m knee-deep in glimmer, engrams and the VasDown clan working together. It’s great, I’ve written a lot about it (to be published soon), and I’m enjoying it. Problem is, I’m getting wary of not playing anything else, and I’ve only got some bigger pieces […]
Destiny 2 – Initial Thoughts
It would be completely remiss of me to not make any kind of post about Destiny 2 around it’s first few days of release. Especially after just banging on about how much I enjoyed the first Destiny. I don’t want to get into any great detail at this point, as I’m only a few hours […]
Review scores are dead
I’ve read a massive amount of reviews in my time. So many gaming sites provide such in-depth reviews and quality content that I’ve truly been able to decide on a purchase based on a balanced view of what all these people are telling me. However, I’m certainly guilty of checking review scores and writing-off some […]
Overwatch – More thoughts on Doomfist
Apart from playing Lucio Ball, I’ve been hitting QuickPay as often as possible, and where I can, getting some time with Doomfist. I started out thinking he should be out on the front line, smashing through everything. But he seems so fragile, that jumping into large encounters seemed not to work well. Certainly not for […]
Fallout 4 – The loyalty dilemma
I thought that I had just about written as much as I could about Fallout 4, short of my inevitable “final thoughts”, but I’ve been somewhat inspired to mention a something that I’ve not really experienced in a Fallout game, or any game in recent memory. What’s the issue? There’s no “issue” per se. It’s […]
Gaming Habits – How they’re changing
There was a time where I would exclusively play one game for months at a time. These were the days of my N64, playing through Golden Eye in every which way to unlock new cheats, or to speed run with my friends, or see how many soldier’s hats we could knock off without killing them. […]
