Weekend Whammy: Hades, Sony & Movies

By on • ( Leave a comment )

The first thing on the agenda this week is a little bit of site maintenance news. Normally I put the the donation box on the bottom of the page, but this week it’s up top. I know, Know. I don’t want to come across like a clingy ex. The reason its up here is because in the next few weeks this site’s annual running costs will be, totalling just under £300. It’s not a lot of cash in the grand scheme, but as most of you already know I don’t work due to my Cystic Fibrosis and I don’t run this site for profit outside of the occasional sponsored post. So if you can afford to chuck a few coins toward keeping WGB going, I’d appreciate it greatly. If you can’t afford to then I understand perfectly. Maybe considering sacrificing a family member on my behalf? I won’t judge.

Weekend Whammy: Insomniac Recast Spider-Man, But Why?

Today, my fellow squishy beings, is my birthday. Therefore I will be requiring you all to worship my divine brilliance for at least five minutes before you read the rest of this week’s Weekend Whammy. Start worshipping. Done? Alright, we can get on with this, then. Joking aside, as always I hope you’re all keeping well, staying safe and getting to play loads of games. On this Weekend Whammy I’m going to tackling Insomniac’s announcement that they’ve recast Spider-Man. I’ll also be talking about what I’m playing and planning on review. So let’s do this!

Marvel’s Avengers Beta (Demo) Impressions

The “beta” (Read; demo) for Crystal Dynamics forthcoming Avengers game was open to everyone to play over the weekend, so I jumped in and spent some time smashing stuff as the Hulk, flying around as Iron-Man, kicking ass as Black Widow and generally avoiding playing as the annoying Kamala Khan as much as possible. With less than a month until the Avengers is out, this demo is our chance to see if we’re going to get an awesome new superhero game that can stand with Marvel’s Spider-Man and the Arkham games.

Weekend Whammy: SUSHI! And Maybe Some Games

Fear not, dear reader, for I have returned to guide you unto the shining light of excellence that is ME! Thou shall bask in my brilliance and my all-round awewsomeness at doing the video games. Seriously, though, welcome back guys and gals. It’s time for more random chatter. This week I’m talking about sushi, rising game prices and probably more sushi.

Weekend Whammy: All the Stuff

By on • ( Leave a comment )

I’ve really been letting these Weekend Whammys slip, haven’t I? I’ll be honest, the motivation is a tad lacking at the moment. My physical health took a bit of a plummet recently, and in turn that’s smacked my mental health right in the mental balls. But never mind that because since my last Weekend Whammy there’s been loads of stuff happening, some of it good and some of it bad! I’m going to chat about just a little bit of it, so let’s chat The Last of Us 2, Sony’s PS5 and more.

Weekend Whammy: Sony Reveals PS5 Controller & Half-Life: Alyx

By on • ( Leave a comment )

It has been a bit since my last Weekend Whammy, but the simple truth is that there isn’t much to talk about when you’ve basically been hiding underneath a massive blanket for two weeks, only emerging to eat Haribo and hiss at the sun. Yup, being in lockdown is a bit on the boring side. It does, however, leave a lot of time for playing games, reading books and watching movies, so that’s cool. This week we’re going to chat about Half-Life: Alyx, the new PS5 controller and The Last of Us 2 being delayed!

Weekend Whammy: Isolation, Next-Gem & Doom Eternal

It appears, my dear friends, that the world has gone a tiny bit mad. But I’m here to bless your horrible day with my mere presence, with my unadulterated brilliance! Alright, seriously, I hope you’ve been staying safe and looking after yourselves in these tricky times. Luckily we’ve got games to occupy ourselves with, so this week I’m chatting about Gamestop being stupid, Doom Eternal being awesome and next-gen consoles being delayed.
