Video Game, Board Game, Comic Book & Movie Reviews – and more!
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! […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
My love for gaming in all forms – including board and card games – is well documented elsewhere in my writing and I’ve also written quite a bit about my […]
A few weeks ago, I managed to trade my way to a ‘free’ Xbox One X. Covering the cost with trading in or selling previous purchases is generally what I […]
Long running TV shows – particularly sitcoms – are famous for relying on ‘clip shows’ when they run out of time, money, ideas or a combination of the three. The […]
Escape rooms are a big thing at the moment; I wrote yesterday about how warehouse-sized spaces were – still sometimes are – used for large scale laser tag games, but […]
Who knew that four anthropomorphic reptiles – named after renaissance artists – with a penchant for ass-kicking would turn out to be such enduring icons? Yet here we are, on […]
Those of you who have been reading my blog or interacting with me on Twitter are likely aware that I’m a huge fan of gaming in many forms; I don’t […]
Steve Jackson Games, price varies but £12.50/$9.29 at time of writing – UK: buy here or US: here You’re a zombie. You need brains. You need to chase humans. You definitely don’t need to get shot. That’s the setup for Zombie Dice, which first came out in 2010. I still own my original set, despite it being used a lot […]
As you can probably guess from the title of this post, I’ve now reached fifty consecutive days of posting on the blog. Which, I think you’ll agree, is quite a milestone! Without counting today’s post, I’ve only once resorted to what I’d consider ‘filler’ – even then, it was a similar piece to this one in that I was reflecting […]
There’s an increasing number of games that aren’t afraid to use technology in an interesting and pivotal way. Chronicles of Crime is one such game: a police procedural board game in which the components can be used in a variety of scenarios, both included with the base game and as downloadable extras, via an app available on iOS and Android. […]
There’s a deluge of games released every single day on a huge variety of formats and digital storefronts. Though it’s great to have so much content to choose from, it presents an unfortunate problem – discoverability on digital storefronts is a major issue. Most gaming websites seem to concern themselves with only AAA games or relatively big budget indies; where […]
The 8-Bit Box from IELLO is an incredibly appealing concept. Billing itself on the box as ‘the first generation board game console’, it’s a collection of games lovingly homaging classic […]
