For all the things in life which make me glad I'm not dead yet.
Gaming
Finally. Someone gets it!
Jul 23rd
Following on from the pleasant surprise that the next installment of Saint’s Row will drop the series’ traditional half-arsed multiplayer component come these quotes out of Bethesda that indicate that at least some studios realise that multiplayer isn’t the be-all-and-end-all of gaming. [People ask us] for a game like Skyrim or Prey 2, why doesn’t it have More ...
Gaming Recap – 11 July 2011
Jul 21st
This was the week I finally beat Blue Dragon, taking my total game time to just under the 100 hour mark. Civ Rev proved a very addictive game clocking up over 32 hours gameplay in just 4 sessions in a little over 3 days; I simply could not put that game down at times — the epitome of a “one more turn” game! More ...
Boulderdash-XL: Extra Large Disappointment
Jul 14th
I’m not sure whether I have unrealistic memories of Boulderdash on my C64, but one thing I know for certain is that Boulderdash-XL is a poor game; So poor in-fact that it makes me question how good the original actually was. Released onto Xbox Live Marketplace yesterday I couldn’t wait to get my hands on More ...
Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions
Jul 5th
I’ve been spoiled with high quality single player experiences lately, rumours of the demise of single player gaming, it would seem, are grossly exaggerated.
Although I wouldn’t put Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions on the same level as Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys simple combo-based 3rd person action games, the kind of which were all the rage about a decade ago. More ...
Free games at the end of the Rainbow (Six Vegas)
Jun 11th
Since the early hours of Sunday morning my 360 has been running round in circles racking up XP. Which leaves me at a bit of a loose end so I finally logged back into PSN to pick up my two free games (Little Big Planet & WipEout HD/Fury). More ...
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
Jun 11th
If you enjoy story-driven single player games & science-fiction, you have to play this game. I finished my first playthrough of the campaign in around 8 hours on hard difficulty, unlocking the majority of the achievements, without a guide. I’ve just completed my achievement clean up playthrough (3-4 hours max), collecting the couple of achievements More ...
Great News for AC Revelations
Jun 9th
Two major game changers were up next, with Meunier first explaining a new concept for AC multiplayer in “contested kills.” In so many words, rather than being stabbed by someone clearly running at you full speed, should you spot them in time and press the punch button, a “contested kill” will result in both players More ...
QOTD: Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper
Jun 3rd
Sherlock Holmes: Now for the motive. Despite my almost complete lack of practical experience on the subject, I have a rather precise idea of the usefulness of a uterus and a vagina. Nonetheless, once they are separated from their usual envelope, I am more circumspect as to the uses one can make of them. What More ...
Hail to the King, Baby

Hello First Access Member, As the launch date for Duke Nukem Forever approaches, we would like to offer a heartfelt thanks to you, the true believers who have already placed your bet on Duke with your pre-order, or Borderlands Game of the Year purchase. As a sign of our appreciation, Gearbox Software and 2K Games More ...
G.O.A.T.
Apr 25th
I’ve had a second 360 kicking about the house gathering dust for nearly 2 months now as I haven’t got around to putting it on ebay since replacing it with a 360S. h On a whim I decided I’d have a crack at GOAT/Hall of Famer in Rockstar Table Tennis this weekend, taking advantage of More ...
