Every time I write about a game in the Exit: The Game series of escape-room-at-home type experiences, I’m setting myself a ridiculous challenge. How on earth do I talk about it without spoiling the contents or giving away what clever little puzzles lay within this particular box of fiendish challenges? If you’ve read my blog for a while, you’ll know […]
I’ve always been a fan of HP Lovecraft’s writing – and his stories have provided inspiration for lots of other writers, as well as for entertainment in other media. Most […]
As a bonus to pick you up after all yesterday’s disappointing gaming news, how about checking out Bad Lip Reading on YouTube? I am so late to the party for this. Though I’d seen a Bad Lip Reading video before – Redneck Avengers – and thought it was both clever and hilarious, I hadn’t stumbled upon their songs; one of […]
As if mid-January isn’t depressing enough, it seemed that almost every video game related piece of news we’ve received recently has been a bit of a downer. First up: we […]
I seemed to cover an awful lot of ground this week; though it was at my usual pace of an article a day, it certainly felt as if I covered more than usual. So I wouldn’t blame you if you missed anything; it seems to me that it’s a good idea take a look at what I wrote about over […]
I almost can’t believe that I’m writing about this again. The first time I wrote about this was last year, early on in my blogging days – and quickly became my most viewed post, holding that record for a number of months. Yet here we are. 2020 has arrived and Wanking Simulator is coming. That’s probably a poor choice of […]
When Magic: The Gathering was released in 1993, few could have predicted the absolute phenomenon it would become, even though it was almost immediately successful. As the first Collectible Card […]
Available now on PC (itch.io) – Price: Pay-What-You-Want If you’ve been reading my articles for a while, you’ll know that I love finding little known, clever indie titles and trying to give them a bit of exposure (and if you’re a new reader, welcome – I hope you like what you find on my site!). Super Co-Op Adventure is one […]
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 […]
A little over a week on from Stadia’s launch and where are we? Sales figures have not been revealed, but anonymous insiders have all but confirmed – without any way to confirm this, of course, so take it with a pinch of salt – that Stadia’s pre-orders were below expectations; reporting this was Kotaku’s Jason Schreier, who goes on to […]
Version Played: Steam – Out Now (£3.99) – Developed & Published By: Village Bench There’s a real thrill in discovering a wonderful indie title that you just don’t get when you’re playing a big budget blockbuster that everyone’s been discussing to death. Part of it, I think, is the joy of discovery that you just can’t get with AAA games […]
Out Now – Version Played: Switch (£6.29/$7.99) – Developed by: Radoslaw Felich – Published by: Ultimate Games Though the premise may initially seem somewhat tasteless, there’s a fascinating question at […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
