It’s sort of weird thinking of bosses in the Elder Scrolls series considering the notable lack of unique character models or abilities for them. There are however the stronger than normal characters that you’d fight at the end of quests and questlines. Or as I like to call them ‘loot piles’ because the shiny and […]

Eventually one begins to tire of the auto-tuned pop songs that stagnate the top of the charts like scum atop a pond. The same beats, tunes and lyrics. A homogeneous din about ‘loving you baby’ or ‘partying at the club’. It’s rare I hear a song on the radio once without it phasing through me little more […]

I think everyone has that one game that they played when they were younger that they return to. It’s sort of like a safe haven in a world of increasingly confusing games. You know how the mechanics work, you remember each street or pathway on the map like the back of your hand and every […]

After the countless modern warfare shooters of the last decade or so, I for one are glad to see the first person shooter genre turn back towards the World Wars. While we have had numerous games set during World War II over the years, there has been a gap in the market for a truly authentic […]

2002 was an odd time to be alive. A year where Matt Damon voiced a horse, The Queen Mother died and people thought it was still a good idea for Eminem to continue making music. Considering I was about 8 at the time, I don’t really remember much of the year itself, but one thing […]

From the outset of the DLC, it […]

IO Interactive’s Hitman series is infuriating. At times it reaches new highs of video game enjoyment and then gets dragged back down by nasty little flaws. The stealth sections are exquisite but the cheap AI and the occasional rubbish boss battle have plagued the entire franchise since day one. All these pros and cons can […]

A line has been drawn in the sand for many over the last few weeks! On one side, Paladins: Champions Of The Realm is a fun, free, Overwatch inspired title! On the other those who cry foul and cheat and decry Paladins as a total rip-off! Well regardless of what side you’re on (or not on!) it […]
