Call of Duty: Black Ops Review
Tuesday, November 9th, 2010It’s like the games made by Infinity Ward but not made by Infinity Ward, so I’ll give it one less point than the Infinity Ward games.
The Spine Of The Box Says Blood Stone 007
Tuesday, November 9th, 2010Finally, games in which I do not have to equip a suit and pistol to a character not called James Bond then run around pretending I’m James Bond have been released. A whole two of them in fact, and both incredibly poorly advertised by Activision as neither of them have Call of Duty: Black Ops [...]
Costume Quest: Trash Candy
Wednesday, October 27th, 2010What with it being my (almost) birthday, I’m an avid follower of the yearly Halloween stylings. This year they come in the form of a video game, which is great, because I enjoy video gaming. The video game in question is of course Costume Quest, and I believe it to be accurate representation of the [...]
Medal of Honor: Medal of Honour
Tuesday, October 19th, 2010This weekend I spent the majority of my time playing Medal of Honor, or as I like to call it, Door Kicking Simulator. A game in which doors are often kicked, provided something doesn’t go wrong with the AI scripting before you get to that point, obviously. I have never had the privilege to own [...]
They Call It… Reach. I Mean, Halo. Halo Reach
Tuesday, September 21st, 2010As a a small child it was always a dream of mine to meet creatures from beyond the Earth and possibly, should the situation require, shoot them in the face. Thankfully video game maker people understand my desires, and put out products such as Halo Reach to enable me to fulfill my destiny. Like Will [...]
The Complete Adventures Of Mafia 2 (excluding DLC)
Wednesday, September 1st, 2010I may have been a victim of the worst headache to ever exist in the history of mankind, but I’m a Gamer, and as a Gamer I feel it is my duty to play through and complete games such as Mafia 2, and then write about them for some reason. It may also simply be [...]
A Title To Represent Driving Games
Tuesday, August 24th, 2010It may have taken two weeks, but I now have a whole new desk set up, taking my total desk ownership to two and hopefully increasing productivity by 5%, making it all worthwhile. That isn’t very interesting though, unless you happen to be a stalker and want to know as many details about my life [...]
In The Wake Of Alan Wake
Monday, July 19th, 2010The back of the box describes Alan Wake as “Part action game, part psychological thriller,” and goes on to suggest “Alan Wake is a pulse-pounding thrill ride.” They forgot to mention the part where it is fun, but you’re probably supposed to assume that due to it being a video game. I did, and that [...]
The Quickly, Someone Pretend To Care Rant About: Achievements
Wednesday, July 7th, 2010Almost recently ago Microsoft’s Stephen Toulouse – a man who wins bonus points for having parents willing to spell Stephen correctly – suggested that ‘hardcore’ gamers would be willing to go out and purchase Kinect simply to unlock additional points to add to their Gamercard. Quite tragically, I’d have to agree with him that such [...]
The Electronic Entertainment Expo Expo E3 Expo 2010
Wednesday, June 16th, 2010I had intended to do long write-ups for every single one of the press conferences taking place over the last couple of days, then two things happened. First Microsoft had an absolutely horrendous conference and made me not want to write about anything ever again, then I also realised it would be incredibly boring to read [...]
