Developed by […]

Let People Enjoy Things
I was afraid of stepping into the gaming side of social media for a very long time, concerned that it was a toxic cesspool of problematic views and targeted harassment. Thankfully, for a very long time I seem to have kept away from those aspects and my Twitter feed is generally full of positive, welcoming, supportive and inclusive people. It’s […]
Review: Gears of War: Ultimate Edition
I finished Gears of War again at the weekend (yep, Game Pass strikes again!).

Not only that, but the whole game has been given a lick of paint […]

Goat Simulator
Whenever you sort a digital game library by hours played, it throws up a few surprises. For example, there are some games I swear I’ve played way longer than is registered (have I only spent that much time with Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, having played through it multiple times?); then there’s the opposite, with one of the Arma games showing […]
