Something To Sink Your Teeth Into!
I first knew about Interview with a Vampire thanks to Neil Jordan’s 1994 movie of the same name, starring Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise. I loved the movie and set me on my course of consuming anything Vampire related. Including the 2002 Queen of the Damned movie,...

HBO’s The Last Of Us is Going to Break The Curse of Video Game Adaptations

Why I Gave Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order A Second Chance
I recently admitted in my top five most anticipated games for 2023 ranking that I’ve been replaying and very much getting into Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. I played it at launch in 2019 and found it to be a repetitive and underwhelming experience, full of long...
Mikey’s Top 10 Rock and Metal Albums of 2022
2022 has felt like a very healthy year for rock and metal, and for every music genre in fact. Bands are back out on tour properly, festivals are back to full capacity, and legends of yesteryear are both going out in style and returning to their former glories. Amongst...
Alexx’s Most Anticipated Games of 2023
I keep reading people say that 2023 is going to be the year for gaming that we all hoped 2022 would be. Unfortunately that can’t be the case, as Elden Ring did release in 2022. I’m only joking (sort of), and while I have very recently uninstalled Elden...

Luke’s Top 10 TV Shows of 2022
I didn’t watch a great deal of TV in 2022, in fact there was only a handful of shows that actually held my attention and some things that I really wanted to watch but didn’t get around to (sorry Andor). Such is the life of being the dad of a 2 year old I suppose!...
Alexx’s Top Five Games of 2022
5) Stray While Stray wasn’t quite as long as I had hoped in the run-up to release, by the time I finished my playthrough I was happy that it wasn’t. In its roughly five to six hour runtime it achieves all it sets out to do in a consistently surprising and...

Mikey’s Top 8 Games of 2022
That’s right, this is not a top ten list, nor is it a top five list, it’s a top eight list. Why, I hear you ask. Well, it’s because I only played eight new games this year and I didn’t have the heart to leave any of them out – which may...Stuart’s Top 5 Games of the Year (Plus One Massive Disappointment)
5) Return to Monkey Island Starting off with a recent release and a return of a classic series. It’s funny, it’s charming, the artwork is quirky and I loved every second of this silly tale of a mighty pirate searching for the SECRET OF MONKEY ISLAND after...
Jav’s Top 5 Games of 2022
This top five was pretty easy to put together as I really hadn’t played a tonne of new games this year. That mostly being down to there not being loads of new games I wanted to play (I spent a lot of my year playing games like Dragon Quest 11 and Sekiro) and...

Challenge-Levelling in Elden Ring – The Black Blade Blockage
The long-awaited difficulty spike has arrived in my Elden Ring playthrough. Challenging the Fire Giant, a fight I had not been looking forward to, I was as surprised as anyone that I defeated him not only in my first attempt but also with relative ease. Helpfully I...
Evil West – Wild Wild West or just Ranch Dressing?
I’ve been guilty of falling for hype trains and flashy game trailers all too often. Most times these have to led to disappointment and annoyance at the final product. Despite this, I fell for Evil West’s PR train from day one. Its flashy trailers, its...

Blood-Levelling in Elden Ring – Rune Showers and Blood Palace
Somewhat predictably my hiatus from Elden Ring was much shorter than I intended. I finished the games I wanted to be done with prior to God of War Ragnarök’s release (the best being The Artful Escape which you can find my review for here) and had a few days with...
The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil In Me Review

Star Ocean: The Divine Force Review
JRPGs feels a bit like paint by numbers. All the elements that make a JRPG great are there but are simply things that have been seen a million times. Story is arguably the most important part of a JRPG and Star Ocean usually shines on that front by blending together...
Disney Dreamlight Valley: First Impressions
Disney Dreamlight Valley is a game which will eventually be free to play some time next year but is currently available either through one of the purchasable founders packs or if you have Xbox Game Pass. I have a PS5 so I purchased a founders pack. There are three...
Serial Cleaners….A Late Review

Give us more DRAGON QUEST, you cowards!
We all like to moan about something related to games begrudgingly, and Colin won’t stop complaining about DRAGON QUEST.
Colossal-Levelling in Elden Ring – The Praetor and the Poisoned Castle
Elden Ring is the gift which keeps on giving. The lion’s share of thanks for this goes in part to the fact I still find grinding for runes as addictive as I ever have, and because I’m massively over-levelled already thanks to my 127 levels worth of runes...
The Artful Escape Review – Music and Colour Incarnate
The Artful Escape has one of the best sounding and beautifully presented original story ideas of recent memory. Developed by AnnaPurna Interactive and released in 2021, the same team who made Stray, another game I reviewed and thought a lot of during this summer....
Steelrising Review

Forza Horizon 5’s First Birthday!
Forza Horizon 5, my favourite game of 2021, is a year old today! In that time I have racked up over 500 victories across 151 hours of gameplay which I have loved every minute of. I’ve mentioned before but it’s worth bringing up again that the time figure...
Dragon Ball: The Breakers Review
By Shenron, what have they done?! The only thing Dragon Ball: The Breakers is ‘breaking’ is the record for how quickly a game has paralysed me with frustration and boredom. I have a lot to say about this game but, unfortunately, none of it is good. The concept...
Luke’s Journey Through Middle Earth – Part One!
Join Luke for Part One of his new series – Luke’s Journey Through Middle Earth! Recorded and narrated by Luke. Video edited by...
It’s a good time to be a Survival Horror fan
OH BOY I love survival horror so much, it’s easily my favourite genre in all of video games and for years my dedication to the genre has gone unrewarded. Yes I understand the odd ‘walking simulator survival horror’ game, by which I mean games like Amnesia...

Alexx Ranks The Disney Plus Marvel Shows
This article is entirely spoiler free. Now that we have eight completed Marvel shows on Disney Plus I thought I’d take the opportunity to pit them against each other and determine which ones are my favourite. That being the case all views from here on are my own but...
Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris First Impressions
It’s important to preface this initial impressions article with the fact that I know absolutely nothing about Sword Art Online. I’m not a fan, nor do I have prior knowledge, and I imagine the game to be far more enjoyable for someone who is already...
Our Thoughts On Overwatch 2
Overwatch 2 has been out for a week or so now and some of the Respawning gang have had quite a lot of time with it and collated their thoughts. These range from huge fans of the original game to people who just didn’t gel with it… and yet here they are. Find out what...
Over-Levelling in Elden Ring – Fortune Favours The Frauds
How the tables have turned! In my last Elden Ring progress article I was five hours in with my new character, a Samurai blood-build, and had hit level 47 thanks to VaatiVidya’s guide. Now I am 22 hours in, and have just hit level 186.. Allow me to explain. Through an...

Metal: Hellsinger Review
I LOVE Doom, like I love LOVE Doom and everything about the Hellscape that Doom is set in. I also love the soundtrack and not once did I ever think to myself: What if Doom was more… metal? Well it would appear that the fine folks over at The Outsiders asked themselves...

Dead Space Remake Trailer
So I’m a day late writing this but I needed a little time to calm down after seeing the gameplay trailer for the upcoming Dead Space Remake. Now anyone that has watched The Bear’s Den on YouTube will probably know I am a fan of basically two games, Alan...
