With another third of the year gone the time has come to judge the free games given through a PlayStation Plus Essentials subscription. If you wish to play catch-up on the verdict rendered for the first four months you can find that article here. I will not be...

If you have read any of my previous pieces you might note that I grew up on Theme Hospital so was absolutely ecstatic when Two Point Hospital came out. The excitement only grew when Two Point Campus was announced. I've had the game for about a week now and absolutely...

This review contains minor spoilers of mid-game mechanics. Stray is a game I’m confident many who saw it first shown off at the PlayStation 5 announcement presentation in June 2020 have been looking forward to. Commonly known online ahead of release as the ‘cat...

Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness is one, an absolutely sick video game title, two, a game based on a popular anime and manga series, and three, not a very good game. Although the concept and idea behind the show and game are absolutely fascinating and...

I started this game thinking that it would be just a Wish version of Sekiro / Bloodborne, and in many ways it is. You can tell it's made for £20. However that’s no fault on the developers or publishers, more a fault of the gaming industry and definitely shows that...

Where does a franchise go after giving you superheroes with the thought process of a crack addict stuck in the Matrix? Back to the “””grounded””” basics apparently! The Saints are back in a new city, with new enemies but the same healthy dose of wink-to-the-camera...

When Rings of Power was announced way back when I found myself staunchly against it. I didn’t like the idea of a TV show breaking canon and creating something from nothing that Tolkien had ever written. Over time I got over myself a little bit and realised I simply...

The latest season of Destiny 2 is now entering week two of its release and it has its highlights and lowlights. Season 18, called 'Season of Plunder', allows you to live out your pirate fantasies - in space. Utilising the Eliksni once again as the main character race...

Rollerdrome is one of those games where all I want in life is to be good at it. Don’t be fooled or dissuaded by its deceptively simplistic graphical style as, while it looks by no means bad, it is clear the bulk of the effort in development went into making the...

The new album by Malice - Hyperaggression - is out now and streaming on all platforms worldwide! Experience the 15 tracks conjured from the dark mind of Malice, with beat production by Godsynth, Dansonn, Noctur, Stir Crazy, Monoxide and Fritz TC! The new single, Get...

Like a lot of people I imagine, I am slowly working my way through the games on offer with PlayStation Plus Premium. I started with Stray, which I initially upgraded for and then was at a loss at what to play next, until I saw Wytchwood. I'm pretty superficial when it...

I am not good at difficult games. I don’t enjoy being challenged and I certainly don’t appreciate getting close to the end of a gruelling fight, only to be instantly killed by an attack I couldn’t see coming or be prepared for and have to start the entire ordeal...

I upgraded my PS5 Plus subscription so that I could pick up Stray which is now included in the higher tiers of PS Plus. Let me tell you, I do not regret it one bit. When a friend messaged me and asked if I had played Stray yet I had not yet had the chance to pick it...

Gamescom somehow managed to sneak up on me this year, but even with the apparent lack of warning I definitely didn’t struggle to decide on the five games I am most hoping / looking forward to seeing more of during the event. First up is one of my currently most...

Void Euphoric Records presents the second album by Malice - Hyperaggression! The album will be on all streaming platforms on Friday the 2nd of September! Featuring beats produced by Godsynth, Dansonn, Stir Crazy, Fritz TC, Monoxide and Noctur. Track List Pain...

The Xenoblade Chronicles saga is one of those games series that gets its hooks into you and forces you to talk about it like someone who does CrossFit or practices veganism. There is something so addictive about it that you just want to share it with everyone and let...

We asked for it for years and now, finally, we've got it: a new Hot Wheels expansion for the Forza Horizon franchise! The bright orange tracks, lavish vehicles and mad races have returned, and it's... OK. The introduction to the expansion, rocketing up into the sky in...

After many delays, Digimon Survive, developed by HYDE and published by Bandai Namco, has finally released on 29th July 2022 and is available on every major platform. "Digimon Survive sees a brand-new group of teenagers, led by Takuma Momozuka, get lost on a...

Although I found the previous two Assassin's Creed Valhalla DLC packs to be quite boring, I was excited to jump into Dawn of Ragnarök. This could be down to the fact that I found all the mythology-inspired aspects of Valhalla to be the most interesting and was very...

Please note that I wrote this before the multitude of announcements by bleddy Marvel and our lord and saviour Kevin Feige, but hopefully I still raise some valid points. I can’t believe I’m writing this: in fact, I think a few of us can’t believe we feel this way...
