It’s funny the things that the brain remembers given the correct prompting. Prior to my recent playthrough of the game I only remembered three things about Jade Empire, an RPG by Bioware released way back in 2005 (before Bioware was known for Bioware RPGs). I, even then, remembered hearing literally nothing about it prior to getting it […]
Read More Jade Empire Retrospectacle – MAI HONOURS!This is a post which usually comes around the first week of January, however I personally decided to postpone it for a little longer because there was one game which I had yet to play but knew I would be playing relatively soon. It took a bit longer than expected to finally get around to […]
Read More The MMGaming Awards – 2013Do you know what Tim said to me when he and I first had seen the cinematic trailer for Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag? We were speaking on an IM at the time and he straight-up said “This looks like the first Assassin’s Creed I’m interested in since the first one, it looks properly legit”. […]
Read More Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag review – Does attaching hidden blades to cannons defeat the purpose?Assassin’s Creed is a series that has always and will always hold a special place in my heart. It’s hard for me to say what exactly it is about the series that so hooked me way back when I was jumping about as Altair, but it’s irrelevant because it happened. Since AC2 I have counted […]
Read More Retrospectacles: Assassin’s Creed 3 – Everybody makes mistakesBrothers: A Tale of Two Sons (or, more simply: “Brothers”), developed by Starbreeze Studios, is a big name now and in fact it has been since release.

Read More Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons review – Review: Some Writing on a BlogFTL is one of the poster-boys for Kickstarter campaigns. It’s the heart-warming and fun-filled story of how two men, Matthew Davis and Justin Ma (and their company Subset Games), were making a video game and turned to the gaming community for aid in their time of need. Because the gaming community was their only hope. […]
Read More FTL review – Playing as part of the Empire has never felt betterTelltale Games jumped rather suddenly into the public perception last year with the release of the episodic, story-driven, point-and-click adventure The Walking Dead. This has put them into the rather unenviable position of having a lot of pressure on them to keep up the same high standards that were seen in The Walking Dead, a game which […]
Read More The Wolf Among Us Chapter 1 impressions – Keeping the genre aliveThe Stanley Parable, a mod for Half Life 2 developed by Davey Wreden and Galactic Cafe, is the indie hipster band of video games. If you are into the scene in any big way then chances are you will be aware of just how good the game is, but if you aren’t really into […]
Read More The Stanley Parable remake review – This is the story…In hindsight I sort of regret posting my review for the first chapter of The Raven, the crime-thriller game from King Art and Nordic Games, way back in August. See the issue it provided is that I not only wrote an incomplete review for a measly one third of the overall game, but I also had […]
