Feature: Thoughts on Video Game Maps and Worlds
Can you remember the first time you saw an in game map that truly gave you a sense of wonder and the feeling that there was a whole world out […]
Post 600
Well, this feels like quite a milestone. Since starting the blog in 2019, I’ve been able to maintain a daily schedule of posting at least one article a day – […]
Opinion: The Influence and Appeal of Retro Games
Note: This is an amended and expanded version of an article I wrote for the first issue of print magazine, Pixel Bison. There was a time back in the 90s […]
Opinion: Next Gen – Again
I know I’ve written about this before, but something weird has happened not just with the ‘new’ next gen consoles, but also with the last few generations: I’m just not […]
Opinion: Next Gen
You’d barely know it, but the next generation of consoles is now less than a month away. Yet the hype and the excitement seems to be incredibly muted. Both PS5 […]
Opinion: Nintendo Direct
So after months, if not years, of speculation regarding a collection of more modern Mario titles than we’re used to seeing, it was finally revealed in yesterday’s Nintendo Direct, which was also a celebration of the 35th Anniversary of seminal video game Super Mario Bros. Containing Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy, it’s coming very soon […]
Opinion: Maneater
I was well on course to have had a Maneater review ready by now, but unfortunately a bug in the game deleted my save file and wiped my 16+ hours of gameplay. Though developer Tripwire Interactive have said that they’re aware of the issue and are working on a patch to fix the problem, after two weeks on release there’s […]
Opinion: Backwards Compatibility
There’s endless rumour and speculation about the lengths to which Sony’s upcoming console, the PS5, will be backwards compatible with previous PlayStation consoles. Though this will be put to rest this week – hopefully – with the PS5 event scheduled for June 4th, we already have a very clear idea as to where their closest competitor – at least in […]
Opinion: Google Stadia – Staying Alive?
This time last year (or close enough – the announcement came at GDC 2019 on the 19th of March), Google were busy hyping up their incredible looking games streaming service – Stadia. It was a massive and presumably very expensive event, for a service that was – again, presumably – very costly to develop and launch. Pre-orders for the Founders […]
Opinion: Xbox Series X Features
I must be psychic. Just a day before the Xbox Series X specs and features announcement, I was bemoaning the laziness of remasters – now here we are with the knowledge that first party (and third party, if the publisher chooses) games will essentially be forward compatible on Xbox One, meaning that you will be able to purchase a game […]
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 […]
Into the Sanctum
Today sees the long-awaited launch of Into the Sanctum, a new website dedicated to covering all things gamey and geeky. With lots of very talented people onboard (and me too!), […]
This Week’s Game Pass Adventures
I’d intended for this article to be published earlier this week, but it became clear when I was some way through my piece that I’d be better off repurposing it […]
Opinion: Netflix for Games?
Game Pass continues to be an absolute revelation for me in terms of the games I’m able to have access to on a regular basis. Not being in a financial […]
