Weekly Round Up
It’s been another busy week for me; somehow, however, I’ve still managed to maintain a pace of an article a day. For most of the week, I’ve tried to push myself into slightly unfamiliar territory and wrote several non-video game related pieces – there’s definitely been a more traditional, card-and-board-games feel to the blog this week, which wasn’t necessarily intentional! […]
Transformers TCG: More Than Meets The Eye
It’s been a while since I wrote about the Transformers Trading Card Game (TCG) – and since my last article, I’ve had the chance to try out a number of […]
Google Stadia
After a huge reveal in March this year, the release date for Google’s cloud-gaming platform seemed an awful long way away. There was a lot of excitement for the platform […]
It Came From The Bargain Bin: 26 – Stuntman: Ignition
Version Played: Xbox 360Current CEX Price: £2.50 I never got around to playing the original Stuntman on PS2, though I’d always been intrigued by its premise. So I was extremely […]
Rainbow Knights
I’ve written a few articles on tabletop games of late, with my most recent articles of that nature being a look at the point-and-click PC adventure inspired The Dungeon and the D&D-themed, fast-paced chaos of Dungeon Mayhem. Both are very different experiences indeed. Rainbow Knights is another tabletop game that feels very different to a lot of games out there, […]
The Origin of Q*bert’s Name – and Other Stories
I always wondered how Q*bert got his name. For many years, that kind of information was at best very difficult to uncover and a much more laborious process than it […]
Dungeon Mayhem
I’ve talked quite a bit on here about my love for tabletop roleplaying, and old school Dungeons & Dragons in particular. Though not an RPG itself, Dungeon Mayhem is a card game ostensibly set in the D&D universe, albeit with a much more cartoony look than players may be used to – along with very simple gameplay. Contained in the […]
Adventure Games: The Dungeon
Having already succumbed to the wonderfully inventive – and sometimes maddeningly brainbending – charms of Exit, the escape room style series of games by Kosmos, I was keen to check out their newest series, Adventure Games. Deliberately evoking the feel of old school PC point and click adventures, the Adventure Games have a great advantage over the Exit series, in […]
It Came From The Bargain Bin: 25 – The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn
Version Played: Xbox 360Current CEX Price: £2 2011’s The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn was a motion-captured animated film with some seriously heavyweight cinematic personnel behind the […]
Agony – Switch
Out Now – ($19.99/£17.99) – Published by: Forever Entertainment A descent into a visceral, bone and sinew-covered hell with some astonishingly graphic visuals and often explicit nudity (though not sexualised, […]
This Week’s Game Pass Adventures
Since picking up an Xbox One X – and signing up for Game Pass Ultimate on the same day – I’ve written a few articles covering what I’ve been playing […]
Well, that escalated quickly…
The digital ink has barely dried on my very first Nintendo Life review – and yet, here’s another one! Thank you to everyone who was kind about my Beast Quest review, especially those of you who wanted me to get a chance to review a decent game next. Your wish came true! So without any further ado – here’s my […]
Corpus Malicious – Update
I featured the deliciously dark DnD 5e companion Corpus Malicious shortly after its crowdfunding campaign launched on Kickstarter (at which point, impressively, it had already smashed its funding goal) – and, with ten days to go on the campaign, I thought I’d check in and see how it was doing. Turns out the answer to that is very well indeed. […]
Weekly Round Up
Well, that was a weird week. Travelling to a very intimidating meeting for my day job and having a day out of work to attend a funeral for a beloved family member added to my general lack of energy this week – and yet…I still, somehow, managed to get an article published every day. Let’s see what I covered this […]
Lonely Mountains: Downhill
Available Now – Version Played: Xbox One – Developed by: Megagon Industries – Published by: Thunderful Publishing Though Lonely Mountains: Downhill bills itself as a relaxing ride down a mountain trail, I actually find it pretty stressful most of the time. That’s not to say that I haven’t enjoyed it; nor that the scenery, art style and general ambience aren’t […]
