All reviewsPokémon X/Y2013
5 out of 5 starsNintendo are responsible for many long standing and beloved series, and my personal favourite one is the Pokemon games, even over Mario and The Legend of Zelda. Pokemon is long running and is a series which has often stood accused of failing to change with the times, of being stale or lacking imagination. These claims have some truths behind them but Game Freak have refined the formula of a Pokemon game for years…
Catherine2011
2 out of 5 starsCatherine is a rare breed of game, and one that is different from just about anything else that I have played. This first foray by Atlus into the HD era of games combines puzzle gameplay with anime and a dose of Japan that is fitting for the developer of Persona, but Catherine has more issues than one may expect from this developer. Vincent is a miserably weak individual, and doesn't really deserve any of these…

The Last of Us2013
5 out of 5 starsNaughty Dog have a powerful track record in the PS3 with the Uncharted series, but The Last of Us is a brand new IP with a very different tone and world than the swash-buckling adventures of Nathan Drake. The zombie apocalypse setting is a very familiar one by now thanks to a raft of games and other media which have anchored themselves in it, but with The Last of Us, Naughty Dog have managed to put a fresh spin on…

Feb 26, 2014
Thoughts on The Wolf Among Us Episodes 1 & 2 (some spoilers follow, I have hidden the main ones) I have no experience with the Fables comics, and The Wolf Among Us is my first foray into that world and its characters. The only thing that attracted me to the game was that it was developed by Telltale, who I felt did an extraordinary job on The Walking Dead in 2012. With that in mind I was hopefu...
My Top Ten Games of 2013
Dec 31, 2013
Work and life has taken a lot of time from me this year, meaning I have played a lot less games than previous years. My PC has also been broken since the summer meaning I missed a lot of games I want to play on that platform. Despite this I still managed to play a lot of games that I really enjoyed, and cobble together a list from them. This list will likely change over the course of 2014 but a...

End of Generation: Playstation
Jun 13, 2013
Continuing with the theme of the ending of a generation of home consoles and arrival of a new batch, I will talk about the second console I owned. Having bought and absolutely loved my N64 I was given a Playstation for Christmas 1998, allowing me to experience an entire new and fresh set of games. In thinking about the impact that the Playstation had on my gaming tastes and the kind of games I...
