• I Play Board Games Alone, And That’s Okay

      Just recently I published a review of XCOM: The Board Game which focused on what it was like to play the game alone. The review is part of an ongoing series titled Single-Player, which as the name implies is all about checking out games that can be played solo and with friends, because for…

  • Konami Seemingly Stopped Hideo Kojima From Accepting Award At The Game Awards

    The Game Awards took place last night, at which The Phantom Pain won best Action/Adventure, an award that was accepted by Keifer Sutherland, who took on the voice of Big Boss throughout the game.

  • (Single-Player)Robinson Crusoe Board Game Review – WILSON!

    Robinson Crusoe is the kind of game that scares people away with its collection of tokens and cards and tiles that contribute to a tabletop experience that’s actually quite easy to understand once everything clicks.

  • The Generic ‘Follow Me On Twitter’ Post

    Hey boys and girls, Yup, I’ve finally started using Twitter.

  • Q&A With Thomas Van Den Berg, Co-Developer Of Kingdom

  • EA And DICE Promise Free Maps And Star Cards For Star Wars: Battlefront

    Needless to say there were a lot of people pretty unhappy with the £40 season pass for Star Wars: Battlefront that will include four expansion packs and 16 maps, especially since the game itself feels very content starved in terms of its battlefield, as I commented on in my own review. Perhaps as a result…

  • Q&A With The Creator Of Saltire, John Ferguson

    You might remember that a while ago I attended Glasgow Comic-Con, having been lucky enough to get a press pass to cover the event. It was there that I picked up Saltire, a graphic novel about a bright blue, ginger-haired guardian of Scotland. I went on to review Saltire and was quite pleased with it,…
