Feature: Alone Among the Stars – Playthrough
As promised/threatened in my review of the wonderful, minimalist solo TTRPG Alone Among the Stars yesterday, I wanted to share the results of my first play of the game. Do […]
TTRPG Review: Alone Among the Stars
Though I’ve had an interest in tabletop roleplaying games since discovering D&D in the early 80s, I’ve not played as many as I would have liked to. It’s even more […]
Review: Sea of Thieves: Roleplaying Game
Available now from your friendly local games store or directly from Mongoose Publishing I’ve become pretty addicted to Rare’s wonderfully emergent, open-world pirate video game Sea of Thieves. It’s deliberately […]
News: Transformers TCG: RIP
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 […]
Black Lives Matter: TTRPG Charity Bundles
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 […]
Transformers TCG: Siege II (Wave 4)
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 […]
First Impressions: Jurassic World: Evolution
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 […]
My First Console: A Christmas Story
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 […]
Board Game Review: Terrible Monster
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 […]
Board Game Review: Rhino Hero
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 […]
Board Game Review: Deep Sea Adventure
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 […]
Weekly Round Up
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, […]
Board Game Review: Munchkin
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 […]
Revisiting Assassin’s Creed
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, […]
A New Review – and a Heartfelt Thanks
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 […]
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 […]
