• Weekend Whammy: Xbox Taking Over

    I’ve spent the day climbing up hills, slipping and barely avoiding large drops while exploring some nearby woods. I’m bloody knackered. I’m 27. I’m not old, but by Odin’s hairy beard that was some hard work! BUT LETS DO THIS! This week I pushed out my review of Crackdown 3, a game I think got…

  • Bannermen Review – Wait, Is It The 90’s Again?

    Ah, the 90’s were a hell of a time for the real-time strategy genre. It was the birthplace of one of my favorite games of all time; Total Annihilation. It was also the time of Command & Conquer, Age of Empires, Homeworld and Starcraft. It seems that developer Pathos Interactive view this as a golden…

  • Crackdown 3 Review – Mindless Fun

    Crackdown 3 serves as the perfect example of a game being announced long before it was ever ready to be. First announced some five years ago and originally scheduled for a 2016 release the game has a rather troubled development. Ideas of using the Cloud to power an impressive level of destruction were the big…

  • Weekend Whammy: Getting Dirty & Training Dragons

    I’m getting old for this Saturday night drinking malarkey. I’m old before my time, I guess. So let’s keep this short and sweet, shall we?

  • Intruders: Hide And Seek Review – Worth Seeking?

    Look, Intruders: Hide and Seek’s biggest fault really isn’t one of its own doing. You see, it constantly made me wish that we had gotten an official VR update for Alien: Isolation. As I hid in a cupboard in Intruders: Hide & Seek and watched one of the three goons look for me I couldn’t…

  • DiRT Rally 2.0 Review – Rally Very Good

    Here’s a little known fact; while the original DiRT Rally may title itself as a rally sim it’s actually a horror game in disguise, especially in VR. It has an uncanny ability to constantly put you on the edge of your driving limits with rocks, trees and drops mere inches away from your spinning tires.…

  • Weekend(ish) Whammy: What The Hell, Activision?

    Okay, okay, I may have missed the weekend there. Punctuality is clearly not my strong point. Once again, though, the weekend has steam rolled through our collective lives, leaving behind a mess of bodies and squashed pizzas. So, let’s chat.

  • Random Loot: Going Back To The Division

    I won’t try to lie and claim that Ubisoft’s The Division left me feeling impressed when it first launched. There were some good ideas and man was it beautiful from a visual perspective, but it was ultimately a hollow experience. Still, with The Division 2 coming in a few months and lots of people saying…

  • Angry Birds VR: Isle of Pigs Review – Virtually Okay

    Y’know, I don’t know why it’s called Angry Birds VR: Isle of Pigs when none of the birds look particularly furious. Sure, they maybe look a tad serious but when you bring them up to your face they’ll cheerfully wave at you, ready to achieve their goal of smashing stuff up and probably dying in…

  • Weekend Whammy: EA Being Stupid, Devil May Cry Demo & More

    This week I put out the review for Spinnortality, a cool little management game where you run a corporation. While it didn’t have the depth needed to keep me playing for longer than I needed to for the review, I still appreciated the idea of amassing money and power by selling new products and gently…
