Risk: Legacy – Review

Welcome back everyone. Today we’ll be looking at Risk: Legacy. Surprisingly this is a Board Game with spoilers and while I’ll get into more detail about those in later posts, I’ll be keeping the review as spoiler free as I … Continue reading Risk: Legacy – Review

How far would you go?

  “Take a look at the Lawman! Beating up the wrong guy” Hello again, sorry for the lack of post last week (like anyone cares lol) but was a bit sick of just posting about video games so I stayed up all night trying to think of something else and…well yeah I got nothing. What a sad life I lead lol. Anyway despite it being a video game I just have to talk about one of the most amazing games I’ve ever played. That’s right readers it’s Heavy Rain. I have no regrets about buying a PS3 now because it … Continue reading How far would you go?

To Boldly Go Between Instances

“Thats the way we do things lad, we’re making shit up as we wish” Hello again readers. First off in regards to my last post I’ve decided I will be getting a PS3 + Heavy Rain at the end of next week. As of that time I’ll own all three major consoles plus a kick-ass PC, Take THAT statistics! Now onto more recent yet kinda old news. About 3 weeks ago I picked up a copy (reluctantly) of Star Trek: Online and I’ve gotta say I was very impressed at the time. Considering I don’t much care for MMOs or … Continue reading To Boldly Go Between Instances

The Best Video Games of 2000 – 2010: Part Eight: Special Awards

“We’re leaving together, but still it’s farewell” Well here we are at the (late I know) end of this series. I’ve enjoyed it, but I’m looking forward to posting about random crap from now on. I’m looking at keeping either a regular Monday or Wednesday schedule from now on. We’ll just see how that goes lol. So for this final part I’ll be showcasing some games that I feel deserved mention but didn’t fit into a genre award. This awards are more about games I really enjoyed or that left a mark on me. So lets kick this baby into … Continue reading The Best Video Games of 2000 – 2010: Part Eight: Special Awards

The Best Video Games of 2000 – 2010: Part Seven: Best Open World

“uptown, downtown, speed all around” Sorry about the late post guys, just wasn’t up for it last night (opening 50 packs of D&D Miniatures really takes it out of you). Before I start I’d just like to take a moment to mention a special person. I went home on Sunday before heading to D&D and was deeply saddened to find out that a good friend of my dad’s named John Harris died a few weeks ago. John was always a great guy, happy and full of life. He was an avid wargamer and all round general geek. The man was … Continue reading The Best Video Games of 2000 – 2010: Part Seven: Best Open World

The Best Video Games of 2000 – 2010: Part Six: Best Real Time Strategy

“To the leader, to the prior, the victim, the Messiah” Well here we are at part six of this series. I’ll start this one off by saying I’m not much of an RTS fan. It’s not really a genre I play very regularly. I find that too many of the games in this genre place a focus on massing as many resources as possible in the shortest amount of time. I’ve never really understood where the ‘Strategy’ part comes from. Using a Zerg or Mamoth Tank rush is not what I would consider strategic in anyway. Doesn’t matter though, people … Continue reading The Best Video Games of 2000 – 2010: Part Six: Best Real Time Strategy

The Best Video Games of 2000 – 2010: Part Five: Best Horror Game

“Please don’t loose hope…” Welcome back for yet another late post. I apologise but, like Mass Effect 2, Doctor Who has priority. Hopefully I’ll get Wednesday’s post done on time. Firstly I’ll talk a bit about about this issue. Read the article and the comments (on that site and on every gaming related website around the globe) and make up your own mind. Here’s my opinion: DRM is mostly a bad call. Why do I say this? because unlike most I buy games. I have often borrowed a game or taken a copy at a LAN party but 98% of … Continue reading The Best Video Games of 2000 – 2010: Part Five: Best Horror Game

The Best Video Games of 2000 – 2010: Part Four: Music/Rhythm Game

“Tonight! I’m a Rock n’ Roll Star!” Welcome back. Another late one I know shut up. First up I should mention the ‘platform’ that I list after a game is the platform I played it on not the only one available. Today I bring you one of the newer genres in video games. Sure it was around (Japan mostly) but it didn’t really become established until the last decade. These games are a fresh new way to enjoy music and have become a very popular ‘party game’ probably the only party style games which aren’t exclusive to Nintendo’s Wii. Everyone … Continue reading The Best Video Games of 2000 – 2010: Part Four: Music/Rhythm Game
