3 out of 5 starsStanding on a rooftop in Harran is surprisingly serene. This fictional Turkish city is not your usual post-apocalyptic playground, after all. Beyond the burnt-out vehicles clogging up its highways and the bellowing black smoke ascending on the horizon, there’s beauty to be found as I gaze out upon its deserted streets from my elevated perch. The clear blue skies, glistening waters of its harbour and the orange hues…
Assassin's Creed Unity2014
2 out of 5 starsI’ve had a scattershot relationship with Assassin’s Creed: Unity . I played through its first half during the initial week of its release before opting to put it down and take a self-appointed break. That lasted for roughly three weeks until I went back and finished it just a few days ago. Now, some of you may be wondering why the gap in-between, but if you know anything about Ubisoft’s latest neck-stabbing opus you…
Far Cry 42014
3 out of 5 starsBeing a stranger in a strange land has always been one of the core conceits of the Far Cry series. As a foreigner in an unfamiliar country, you explore the landscape and learn about its varying cultures just as the protagonist does, helping to ground you in their shoes, the world and its story with a first person viewpoint that remains a constant throughout. With Far Cry 3 , a dollop of insanity was layered atop…
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare2014
4 out of 5 starsIn a year where the biggest shooters both feature some sort of assisted double jump, it’s fitting that Call of Duty (the biggest of them all) should join in on the party, strapping on its technologically-advanced exosuit to dash and double jump its way to mobile parity. Call of Duty is no stranger to near-future warfare, of course; both Black Ops II and Ghosts meddled with such futuristic tomfoolery, but Advanced…

All articlesSome people look up to movie stars and musicians, I look up to Ryan Davis
Jul 10, 2013
Well, it finally happened. I suppose the timing is fitting, coming a week after he sadly left us, but tonight I finally shed tears for the best friend I never met; the king of the Summerjams, Mr. Ryan "Taswell" Davis. The podcast did it, which is probably of little surprise to those who have listened to it. The heartfelt thank you's of those who are feeling this the most (along with his wife an...
Reintroducing Maximum Payne
Jun 13, 2012
After a nine-year absence and a shift in developer, Max Payne 3 was always going to be a curious title. Its early reveal, presenting a bald, overweight Max Payne amidst the slums of Brazil, was steeped in trepidation for fans of the series. This was a character well known for his slick stylings, leather coat and bad tie combination; a perfect protagonist for the surreal film noir world he inhab...
In the Company of the Force: A Newcomer's Look At An Old Republic
Jan 28, 2012
Delving into the world of MMOs can be a daunting proposition. More so than any other, it’s a genre that almost seems reserved for a certain type of person. One who knows and understands the terminology, the way each intricate system works, and one who is prepared to lay down a standard fee every single month. That fee can eat at you if you’re not careful. Every day you’re not playing you feel l...
Life and death of the PS3
Apr 7, 2010
As a reminder, here's what happened yesterday. After trying to resuscitate it with some cold air and cleaning today, I eventually I gave up and ordered a 250GB Slim. Costs a bit more than repairing it but I'll get it much sooner and I'd much rather have a new system with new warranty than a repaired one that could go again at any minute. Of course, there was still the issue of the game being st...
The "unbreakable" is broken
Apr 6, 2010
Yes, tonight my PlayStation 3 bit the dust. First time I'd turned it on in two days, played for around 15 minutes before it suddenly turned itself off. I thought maybe there was a problem at the mains but the red light came back on so I pressed that, the green light came on as normal before a yellow light switched on for a split seond before it began flashing red non-stop. Looks like the Yellow...
Let's try this again
Jan 10, 2010
After my recent tragedy it's time I did a new blog post. SPOILERS FOR BORDERLANDS, DRAGONE AGE: ORIGINS AND MASS EFFECT Shieldy The reason for my failed midweek post was because of a few recent completions. Borderlands came first as I finished it at a level 36 having done every quest in the game. The last boss was a little disappointing and it's a shame you never get to see what's inside the va...
