Preface In a well-timed accidental meeting of each other online, myself, Frostos and Tommygunlovers were able to finally give co-op a go in Assassin’s Creed: Unity. With very little expectation, we dived in! Free-roam = chaos I had no idea free-roam was an option, I thought we had a few special co-op missions to try, […]

Hearthstone – Learning the ways
Preface Ok, so my last Hearthstone post was about getting into it and giving it a go. This is a little update on that, and my thoughts on it after playing it a little over the past few days. Thoughts Well, I did what I set out to do, and unlocked all the classes/characters, […]
Assassin’s Creed Unity – Thoughts
Preface Ok, so I’m a fan of the Assassin’s Creed series, I’ve played and finished them almost religiously. Until…..I got tired of the franchise. No major changes for years, and the same old clunky controls, in an era of open-world games that have fluid fight systems (Batman Arkham series) and fluid movement, it started to […]
Halo Wars 2 – Initial thoughts
Preface Ok, so I love the halo universe, have done since Combat Evolved, and I’ve sunk hours of my life into these games. I’ve read a few of the books, I’ve finished campaigns on every difficulty, and I love the depth of the lore that has been created. I played the original Halo Wars, loved […]
Let’s Play! – Hitman
I love the Hitman franchise, always have, and I’ve played most of the series, start-to-finish. Some great, some not so, but always fun to be had, somewhere in the levels. Switching between stealth and blatantly walking through a place wearing a disguise, it’s always a fun time! This time, wrenches in the face are part of […]
How do game reviews and sites like reddit impact how you purchase or play a game?
Preface I read a massive amount of content around games and gaming. It used to be just a couple of previews or reviews about a game I was excited to play, usually in a magazine like the Nintendo Official Magazine (Buck Bumble, anyone?), Amiga Power back in the day, and now, on occasion I read […]
My top 10 games from the past year.
These weren’t all necessarily released this year, but they have taken my time in 2016 and they have all been excellent. So much still to play and finish, and to continue! How many of these games will be on the 2017 list, too? Destiny and Pokemon wouldn’t surprise me at all! Here’s to an excellent […]
The Division – VasDown style
So, we got a bit bored of Destiny, and all found The Division for a bargain at cdkeys. Thus began our adventure in New York city, post-outbreak of some kind of virus (I think? Not really sure…). I’ve not really streamed it much, or played it too much, but here are 3 of us (myself, […]
Let’s Play! – GTA V Campaign from the 1st person perspective.
When GTA V first came out, I played through it on the Xbox 360. I loved it, it was a great game, great campaign, it looked stunning, it “felt” fantastic. So, when they announced the Xbox One version, with added features like the 1st person perspective, I couldn’t wait to get back into it! So, […]
Update.
It’s a little quiet here at the minute, but things are underway! I’m doing my first full game review, which will be of Titanfall 2 (spoiler alert: It’s great), but a proper review, plus some content, and actually getting to grips with it, all require time, of which I’ve not had a great deal of. […]
