Intro The recent release of Redfall has been a sour affair, at a time Xbox really needed a hit, they released what both critics and gamers have perceived as a misfire. I have not played the game yet (though thanks to gamepass, I will), but it got me thinking of the games I’ve played overContinue reading “I LIKE IMPERFECT GAMES! MY TOP IMPERFECT GAMES.”

HOW GAMEPASS SAVED MY LIFE!
OK, Xbox Game Pass didn’t save my life, but who doesn’t love a dramatic headline? There’s one thing that as a Brit we often don’t talk openly about, 1 of those things is money and the other is mental health. But I wanted to share this, both my story of my struggles through the pandemic,Continue reading “HOW GAMEPASS SAVED MY LIFE!”
WHAT DO GAMERS WANT?
Philosophers and academics have been asking this questions since the dawn of time and the answer to this conundrum will always be the same… literally. Gamers want the same things, that’s it, I’ve solved the riddle – pay me a million pounds , give me the Nobel Peace Prize, done. Do you want a newContinue reading “WHAT DO GAMERS WANT?”
A Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 Wishlist…
I make no secret about my love for the first Hellblade game. It came as a complete surprise how much I loved it, the game was barely on my radar till Ninja Theory was acquired by Microsoft and I finally played the game once it hit Gamepass – I wish I hadn’t waited. I wasContinue reading “A Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 Wishlist…”
IN DEFENCE OF FABLE
OK gamers as Meryl Streep said to Goldie Hawn in the film ‘Death Becomes Her’ as she shoots her in the stomach with a shotgun “you’ve bought this on yourself”. Yes readers it is you that has driven me to this, and possibly the extreme boredom bought on by a 2 week isolation, but insteadContinue reading “IN DEFENCE OF FABLE”
THE XBOX GAME STUDIOS TO WATCH IN THE NEXT GENERATION
It’s 2013 and the Xbox division isn’t in the best place, the end of the 360 generation had funnelled all their energies into creating gimmicky Kinect games and the direction of their newly released console was muddled under the stewardship of Don Mattrick. Despite this Xbox still managed a fairly appealing set of games forContinue reading “THE XBOX GAME STUDIOS TO WATCH IN THE NEXT GENERATION”
TOP 10 GAMES THAT COULD (OR SHOULD) HAVE BEEN GAME OF THE YEAR
We love ourselves a Game of the Year, a prize with such gravitas that it renders all other games obsolete. And we could argue for days whether a game deserves the accolade… *cough Dragon Age Inquisition cough* – but the games that win these top prizes are critical darlings, made by developers that are atContinue reading “TOP 10 GAMES THAT COULD (OR SHOULD) HAVE BEEN GAME OF THE YEAR”
BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER – RETRO GAME REVIEW
It’s crazy to think Buffy ended 17 years ago and started 23 years ago! The show still holds up today despite some questionable special effects and fashion choices. The reason it holds up even now is the witty and intelligent writing, believable characters and multi-layered protagonist whose super powers and destiny gave her an interestingContinue reading “BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER – RETRO GAME REVIEW”
A GENERATION OF EXCELLENCE – PLAYSTATION 4 AND XBOX ONE IN MEMORIAM
It’s a tad early… there’s a Cyberpunk hole in my life that can only be filled by CD Project Red. I long for some Cyberpunky goodness, a role-playing game where I can finally have the ‘double E’ breasts and the 10 inch appendage I have always desired, nay deserved! But I’m here today to celebrateContinue reading “A GENERATION OF EXCELLENCE – PLAYSTATION 4 AND XBOX ONE IN MEMORIAM”
HOW XCLOUD COULD REVOLUTIONISE MOBILE GAMING
Console and high-end PC gaming will always have its place in the gaming pantheon, but there was a time towards the end of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 generation when analysts believed mobile gaming might completely eclipse console gaming. That obviously did not happen, and AAA gaming is as strong as ever, but thatContinue reading “HOW XCLOUD COULD REVOLUTIONISE MOBILE GAMING”
