  • The Fun Of Playing Alone

    The Fun Of Playing Alone

    Today is going to be a little different. It’s still going to be about games, however it’s going to be a bit more personal than usual. You see today, I want to talk a little bit about how I engage with video games when the camera’s aren’t on. Now, you would be forgiven for thinking…

  • Every “Soulsborne” Game Is Easier Than The Last…Or Maybe Just More Accessible

    Every “Soulsborne” Game Is Easier Than The Last…Or Maybe Just More Accessible

    I’ve finally played every “Soulsborne” game. (Though admittedly only about an hour or so of Demon Souls so don’t expect that review for a while). Having played them all, I came away with one overwhelming opinion… Every “Soulsborne” game is easier than the last. At least in certain ways. This was most clear to me…

  • Is The Toys To Life Genre Dead?

    Is The Toys To Life Genre Dead?

    For a time it seemed like the toys to life genre was to be a permeant fixture within our world. With things like Skylanders, Disney Infinity, and Lego Dimensions releasing new characters and packs at an almost constant basis for players to collect and use in game, the stage was set for this genre to…

  • Nioh…Sure Is Something

    Nioh…Sure Is Something

    I’ve been playing Nioh and well… It’s a thing of beauty and madness! Now yes, ok, I know this game came out in 2017, so once again I am embarrassingly late to play it, however, on this occasion I think my lateness is understandable. Pretty much everyone I talked to regarding Nioh said the same…

  • The Witcher 3 – Every Bit As Good As Everyone Says

    The Witcher 3 – Every Bit As Good As Everyone Says

    The year is 2023 and I am only now playing The Witcher 3 properly for the first time ever. Yep that’s right, one of the most famed games of the last 10 years and I’m only playing it now. I’m nothing if not constantly late for trends. I am happy to report, that in the…

  • What Could Marvel Games Do Next?

    What Could Marvel Games Do Next?

    In the past few years, Marvel video games have been getting released left right and centre. With Spider-Man PS4, The Avengers, and Guardians of the Galaxy all releasing fairly close to each other. Each release receiving a slightly different reaction. (Spider-Man seems universally loved, Avengers hated and Guardians, well Guardians as always has split opinion).…

  • Assassins Creed Valhalla – A Slow And Sluggish End

    Assassins Creed Valhalla – A Slow And Sluggish End

    It’s official I have now finished everything that Assassins Creed Valhalla has to offer and…Well I’m pretty tired. From the main campaign, to the three DLC packages, and even the free Updates, I’ve seen it all. And finally, after spending an hour or so reinstalling the game, I have now completed The Last Chapter, closing…

  • Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order – How To Do A PS5 Patch Right!

    Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order – How To Do A PS5 Patch Right!

    Recently, in the run up to Star Wars: Jedi Survivor being released, I chose to give Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order a second playthrough. This choice, I must admit, was partially to refresh myself on the story, but also to see exactly how much of a change the next gen update truly was. As the…

  • Where Could From Software Go Next?

    Where Could From Software Go Next?

    As many of us know, Elden Ring recently picked up the Game of the Year award at the 2022 Game Awards. This cemented it as yet another out and out success for From Software, continuing their legacy of well loved games. This newest success on From Software’s part got me thinking about the future. Now…

  • My Highlights Of The Game Awards

    My Highlights Of The Game Awards

    So, there we have it. The Game Awards have been and gone, and there were more than a few stunning moments. Due to this, I wanted to take a minute to go through some of my highlights of the show, because oh boy there were a lot of them. Before I get into the highlights…
