What we think about games
Silly Wilson, always mucking about with technologies you don’t really understand. And who listens to their radio when told you could build a mighty machine that would be your break through. Well Wilson, you did, and look where it got you. Wilson is now stuck in a land, one which he isn’t familiar with. Shortly [...]
Cyborg ninjas have been a staple of the Metal Gear Solid series for just as along as Solid Snake has sneaked past guards with his signature cardboard box trick. From Gray Fox in the original Metal Gear Solid to the revamped Raiden in Metal Gear Solid 4 these ninjas have frequently showed off fearsome sword skills coupled [...]
No introduction, No filler content and no delay: Mr. Torgue’s Campaign of Carnage is, by far, the very best DLC Gearbox Software and 2K games have produced in either Borderlands or Borderlands 2. In a previous review I talked about the concept of DLC and how for DLC to be successful it needs to be [...]
If I had to pick one type of game that I would regard as my least favourite, or one that I usually stay away from, I would have probably said RTS games. Therefore the surprise that I have been given the opportunity to review Impire is only outdone by the shock that occurred when I [...]
There’s something intrinsically entertaining about racing cars at extremely high speeds.

Reviewing DLC is almost impossible without at least highlighting my dislike for the concept of even having to purchase downloadable content. Sadly its inclusion is something we’re all going to have to come to terms with as it shows no signs of going away. That said there is a right way and a wrong way [...]
Adventure game logic has baffled and amazed me in almost equal measure in the past. Who’d have thought that a rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle of it would operate as a perfectly serviceable mode of transportation before The Secret of Monkey Island? Not me, that’s for sure but rubber chickens now form a central [...]
If we include handheld, phone and browser games alongside their console cousins then Assassin’s Creed 3 is in fact the 12th Assassin’s Creed game but, obviously, only the second to be deemed a ‘proper’ sequel worthy of a numerical suffix. The last major update in the series improved wholesale on the promise of the first [...]
Dark Souls; if ever there was a game I did not have a grip on this is it. If you’ve clicked this link looking for somewhat of a review then sadly I am going to disappoint. Simon has however wrote a comprehensive article on everything Dark Souls so if you’re looking for a well thought [...]
