Video games

I’ve had my Nintendo Switch since day one (only the 2nd day one console purchase I’ve done, with the Playstation Vita being the other) and I love it, being able to play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on the go is awesome. I was the first (and probably the oldest) to pre-order […]

You may well have heard on our interview show with Kevin Toms that I was addicted to Football Manager on the Spectrum 48k back in 1982. This obsession with football management games reached its peak with ‘Premier Manager 98’, a series I always preferred over the ‘Championship Manager’ games (before it then went on to […]

I’ve been banging on about PSVR on my blog for ages and it’s another one of my latest obsessions. If you know me well enough you know that I go through a lot of gadgets. “Monkey see, monkey wants“, that’s me. I’ve owned so many versions of consoles over the years that I’m afraid to […]

Let me make things clear from the start of this review. Konami are responsible for making some of my all-time favourite video games! My childhood was filled with days playing titles such as Batman Returns, Green Beret, TMNT: Turtles in Time, and Sunset Riders to name a few. Let’s be honest, I could list dozens of […]

Can a video game featuring psychosis and mental health at the core of its story treat the subject matter respectfully yet also be entertaining?  I’ve had my eye on Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice since 2015. I attended a presentation at Eurogamer Expo (EGX) featuring developer Ninja Theory. Commercial Director Dominic Matthews chatted about their vision for […]

Well this was a pleasant surpise..Rewind a bit. Now I am not a young man, true I am not a fossil of humanity riddled with dust but nor am I a sprightly young buck. Due to being this age I can remember arcades though, proper ones. Well sort of. I am not talking about the […]

This is not a full review as I’m still playing through the game. It’s more a first impression of the game. Detroit Become Human is the latest game from Quantic Dreams, and after their previous games, I think they have finally got it spot on. The game is centred around three playable characters. All three […]

I am a dolphin on a mission. Heading to the surface I pop my head out of the water and look at the man stood on the edge of the ocean. ‘Squueeak squeeeaky click click squeak‘ (‘Something is wrong my friend, the water levels are rising’) The man bends down and replies: ‘Hi Flipper, would […]

Trying new things is good. Unless you are a lion trying a cabbage diet, in which case trying that specific new thing is somewhat ridiculous. Table of Tales : The Crooked Crown, henceforth shortened to ToT to save my fingers, is a new thing for me, a genre I have not really dabbled in. So […]

Spider-Man returns with a brand-new story called The City That Never Sleeps. But how does the downloadable content (DLC) stack up against the main game? I’m sure if you’ve already checked out my review of Spider-Man (and if you haven’t then click here) you’ll know that I absolutely loved it! I was keen to carry […]
