• Merry Christmas, My Friends

    Hello everyone, it’s that festive time of the year again when a judgemental fat guy tumbles down your chimney, paws through your stuff and maybe leaves a few presents provided you’ve met his requirements to be “nice.”

  • Weekend Whammy: Boneworks, The Witcher Show & Sneezing

    Hello my friends, I’ve somehow managed to acquire another bloody cold, so I’ve not really been doing very much over the past couple of days. Still, I wanted to get a Weekend Whammy out there and ask about what you fine folks have been playing over the past week or two?

  • Patch Notes: The New Xbox, The Game Awards Winners & New Games

    Welcome back to another Patch Notes, the place where I grab a few news stories that interest me, recap them and offer up some thoughts! It’s been a busy few weeks, so in this Patch Notes I’m talking about the brand new Xbox Series X, The Game Awards, new game announcements and more.

  • SCUF Impact Syndicate Controller Review – Fiddle With My Sticks, Baby

    SCUF have earned themselves quite a good reputation for building custom controllers over the years. Venture onto their website and you can choose from a variety of pre-made designs that can then be further tweaked in a bunch of different ways. But the most appealing part of SCUF controllers are the extra features that come…

  • Stormland VR Review – Storm, Or Mild Gust?

    It feels like we’re maybe starting to see VR come into its own with bigger, meatier games that feel less like “experiences” and more like…er, well, games. Not long ago Asgard’s Wrath provided us with an immense RPG spanning dozens of hours that was built from the ground up for virtual reality. Now we’ve got…

  • Weekend Whammy: The Week of RTS & Halo Is On PC

    Hello my friends, my family, my loyal minions. It’s time for another Weekend Whammy and this week I’m talking about a few RTS games and celebrating the fact that Halo is coming to PC right about…er, now, actually. What a time to be alive, eh? The world might be going crazy but at least Halo…

  • Sniper Ghost Warrior: Contracts Review – Headshot?

    The sniping franchise returns having somehow managed to find a way to tack yet another word to its already clumsy name. Sniper Ghost Warrior: Contracts is the 4th entry in the Ghost Warrior sub-series but this time it’s a budget release, retailing for £25 on Steam and thus being a much friendlier proposition. This is…

  • Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Review – One With The Force

    How damn long has it been since we’ve had a properly good Star Wars game? We used to get loads of them. Now we have things like Star Wars: Battlefront 2, which is admittedly a much better game than it was at launch, but it still doesn’t scratch that itch for a Star Wars adventure…

  • Weekend Whammy: Discworld Remaster, Fallen Order & KoToR

    It has been a long way, my friends. I love my white German Shepard doggo (called Laoch) to bits, but as any dog owner will tell you life with a four-legged woofer can be tricky sometimes. At the moment we’ve got some field mice who have decided to set up home in our walls, and…

  • Patch Notes: Half-Life Is Back, Stadia Launches & Remedy Addresses Control Sales

    Yes, I know, Patch Notes dropped off the face of the planet thanks to my legendary laziness. But it’s back and hopefully this time I’ll keep it up. As before this is simply a series where I grab a few pieces of news that interested me in particular and chat about them. This week there’s…
