A game doesn’t have to be good to earn a place in your gaming memory...

Bungies latest stream reveals changes to Strikes and more!

It's week two and the second livestream celebrating Age of Triumph, the final live update of the Destiny 1 era content which is due to launch come March 28th. "Rituals and Strikes," has taken place - but what did it show? We take a look.

Verdun Review

First seeing the light of day on PC back in April 2015, and then PS4 in October 2016, it's finally the turn of the Xbox One to receive Verdun - "the first multiplayer FPS set in a realistic First World War setting", as M2H and Blackmill Games would have it. For the purposes of this review, I'm not going to take exception to that phrase, and I'll be pretending that whole Battlefield 1 game never happened. So, let's sally forth, go over the top, and see if the game has been worth the wait. Tally Ho!

We Are The Dwarves Review

Imagine for a moment, if you will, that all the previous RPG games and films have been wrong. Dwarves are not just a short tempered, mead quaffing, subterranean race with a penchant for big axes. No, instead the protagonists of We Are The Dwarves are interstellar explorers in a stone universe, boldly going where no short, bearded individuals have gone before. Got that picture in your mind?

Bungie Age Of Triumph Revealed

In a Twitch livestream last night, Bungie stalwart Deej unveiled the path that Bungie have envisioned to get us, the Guardians, to Destiny 2. Entitled "Age of Triumph", it's a 13 page book of landmark moments and feats to help us celebrate everything the game has brought us.

Ghost Blade HD Review

I have to admit, when I first headed in to Ghost Blade HD, I had no idea what I was letting myself in for. Information seemed to be scarce, and even the official website for the game didn't tell me a massive amount. The words "bullet hell" and "shoot-em-up" seemed to be mentioned a lot. "What could possibly go wrong, I thought? I'm an old skool gamer, I played Axelay on the SNES, surely this is just a pretender?" (Google it, kids!). Thus thinking, I fired up the Xbox and sallied forth.

Fallout Shelter Review

First released on mobile platforms back in June, 2015, Fallout Shelter charges the player with becoming Overseer of a new vault, which has to be built up from the ground, well, down! Making the move to Windows 10 in July 2016, it’s now hitting Xbox One as a free to play title, but is it a worthy port, and worthy of your time?

10 things (or possibly slightly less) that I’d like to see in Destiny 2

Destiny is great, but with my three guardians at 400, 399 and 399 light respectively (Titan being the highest because, well, Titan Master Race) my thoughts are turning to Destiny 2, and what Bungie can do to make the transition as easy as possible for me. I've come up with a few things I'd like to see, and that I think would make the game better.

Embraced by Autumn Review

The intro promises some future dramatic, potentially even salacious turns, but not one of the four different stories delivers. It’s all too tentative. In the end, Embraced by Autumn could have done with just a little more confidence and sass.
