Video Game, Board Game, Comic Book & Movie Reviews – and more!
Very sad news to report today – Hasbro subsidiary Wizards of the Coast have announced that Titan Masters Attack – which was released on the 29th of May – is to be the final expansion for the Transformers Trading Card Game. According to the press release: “The Transformers TCG was truly a labor of love for the Wizards team, and […]
Those of you who know me either personally or through the blog know that I’m a big fan of TTRPGs. Though not historically well known for being a progressive or particularly socially aware space in the gaming universe, I’ve seen some great initiatives being undertaken in the community to raise money for worthy causes in recent days. The first one […]
Regular readers will know that I’m not only a huge Transformers fan, but also a fan of collectible card games too; having played Magic for more years than I’d care to admit (though on and off – and more casually than serious), I was very excited when I first saw the Transformers Trading Card Game in the wild. The impressively […]
Thanks to December’s Games with Gold freebies, I have finally downloaded and played Jurassic Park: Evolution. I may be a little addicted already… Review scores weren’t particularly high, so I […]
Though my parents had owned consoles – mostly Pong clone machines and, in the late 80s, an Atari 2600 – I’d never had one that I could truly call my […]
I’ve spent the last few days reviewing small, clever and unique board games – and I’m continuing the theme today. It’s almost Christmas, after all – and surely the festive period is the ideal time to be checking out board games! As tiny games go, Terrible Monster is one of the smallest there is. It’s comprised of just sixteen cards […]
Unofficially, this week seems to have become board game week for me; after writing a few board game focused reviews, I thought it’d be a good idea to continue spotlighting […]
In my review of Flip City yesterday, I mentioned how minimalism in various aspects of board game design was something that really appealed to me. In Deep Sea Adventure by […]
Has another week passed? It sure has! As we hurtle uncontrollably towards Christmas and the end of another year – as well as, terrifyingly, the end of another decade – let’s take a look at what I wrote during the first week of December. Revisiting Assassin’s Creed I struggled through about a third of Assassin’s Creed around nine years ago, […]
Last week, I covered the first digital adaptation of Steve Jackson’s Munchkin card game. In that article, I mentioned a number of the different editions and variations of the game […]
I’ve had a quiet week in gaming terms. With an awful lot on my plate in other areas, it was inevitable that something was going to suffer – and, unfortunately, […]
I’m a bit late to the party with this post, but I’m immensely proud to have once again had a review published on Nintendo Life. Without further ado, here’s my […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
