• Murderous Pursuits Preview – Murder Most Okay

    As I admire a painting while munching on a pork pie I can’t but help reflect on the senseless violence that I’ve been a part of over the years. How many enemy combatants have I gunned down without a second thought? How many people have I run over? How often have I just punched people…

  • Firefly Adventures: Brigands & Browncoats Review – Can we maybe vote on the whole murdering people issue?

    Y’know, it has been a while since I professed my undying and eternal love for Firefly, a cult sci-fi show that didn’t even get to run for a full season before it was callously canceled by those muppets at Fox, a crime so heinous that I still have not forgiven them. The point is for…

  • Goblin Grapple Kickstarter Review – I Grappled, I Groped

    Ah Goblins. They got their big break in the Lord of the Rings movies, really. They’ve always been lurking in fantasy, but when Peter Jackson brought the epic books to life suddenly Goblins were all the rage, with everybody wanting to have them in their games and their books and their movies. And now look…

  • Far Cry 5 Review – It’s Not A Far Cry From Far Cry

    For better or for worse Far Cry 5 is very much a Far Cry game. Ubisoft isn’t known for their big risks, though, so it’s hardly surprising that six Far Cry games in (not counting Blood Dragon as a full game) they don’t want to take huge risks with a series that has clearly been…

  • SteelSeries Arctis 7 Wireless 7.1 Headset Review – Whisper Sweet Nothings In My Ear, Baby

    Oh, the freedom of having no wires attached to you yet still being able to chat with friends or listen to music while wandering around naked in your own home clutching a bowl of coco-pops like it’s the only thing left in your life worth anything. Yup, the wireless age is a golden one, or…

  • Surviving Mars Review – But Where’s Matt Damon!?

    Mars, the Red Planet that has always held a strange fascination for us little Earthlings. Like so many, I watched the film adaption of The Martian and was intrigued by the story of survival on an alien world. Scientists and regular ol’ people have long dreamed of colonizing Mars, but just how difficult a task…

  • Expedition: The Roleplaying Card Game Review – Roleplaying, But Not The Kinky Kind

    If you’ve ever played a table-top RPG with a talented gamemaster who has spent many laborious hours crafting an adventure for the whole group to enjoy then you’ll know just how absorbing it can be. Who can count the time you spent forging your character? And all those cool moments where you do something awesome,…

  • Warhammer: Vermintide 2 Review – Hack ‘N’ Slash Blast

    Let me preface this review by stating that I didn’t play the first Vermintide game. I had a few chums slicing and dicing the Skaven hordes, but I never found the time to pick up the Left 4 Dead style game set in the Warhammer universe for myself, so this review of the sequel is…

  • Roccat Khan Aimo 7.1 Surround Sound Headset Review – Gunfire From 7.1 Directions

    Review sample provided free of charge by Roccat. The wonderful thing about a fantastic headset is that lovely comforting feel it can provide, the sense that you’re isolated from the hustle and bustle of the outside world, able to ignore all the yelling and shouting and screaming and stabbing and gunshots going on behind you.…

  • TT Isle of Man: Ride On The Edge Review – Flawed But Brilliant

    The Isle of Man TT is absolutely insane, a relic of a bygone era where racing was raw and dangerous. It’s 37.73 miles of public road weaving through several towns and then up the Snaefell Mountain that gets shut down so that a bunch of lunatics on beautiful motorcycles can scream around the epic track,…
