All reviewsGalak-Z2015
4 out of 5 starsI'll admit it - I bought Galak-Z on a whim and didn't really have any idea what I was getting myself into. Of course, I had seen videos of the game - it looked like a standard dual-joystick shooter and as far as I was aware it had a fairly standard level-based progression. This lead to me having a somewhat muted first few hours with the game as I played through the arcade mode (where if you die, you restart from the…
Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair2012
4 out of 5 stars(No major plot points are spoiled in the review, only minor details.) Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair is the sequel to Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc that came out earlier this year - both games have reached the west for the first time this year on the Vita after previously coming out in Japan on the PSP. In short - Goodbye Despair brings a lot of the same things to the table as the first game, pros and cons, and…

Dec 30, 2019
Hey all, another year has passed and another bunch of great games have came out. 2019 felt like a really strong year in terms of video games which makes it slightly unfortunate that I've not been able to play as many 2019 release as I would have liked - hence, this list will be slightly different again, just like last year. Apparently I missed out on a game called Outer Wilds? I'll get around t...
My top 10 games of 2017.
Dec 20, 2017
2017 was a good year for video games. Here are some of my favourites. As always, spoilers will be touched upon so read with caution. 10. Yakuza Kiwami (PS4) Yakuza Kiwami is the first of two Yakuza games on this list and definitely the weaker one. Despite this, it still presents a dense crime drama full of the twists and turns you would expect from Yakuza. The game is at its best when centred o...
My Top 10 games of 2016.
Dec 29, 2016
Another year... another bundle of games that I played a lot of, games I wish I played more of and games that I haven't got to but will fill my backlog for the foreseeable future. First, I want to give a little hand to some of the games that didn't come out this year that made this list even more difficult to create by dragging me away from 2016's latest and greatest. Thank you Yakuza 4 and 5 ,...
My Top 10 Games of the Year for 2015.
Dec 22, 2015
Well, it's the last few days of 2015 and that can mean only one thing - it's time to put on some music and rank video games. 10. Titan Souls Titan Souls minimal pixel art really makes the bosses stand out. Titan Souls caught my attention due to my love of Shadow of the Colossus. Thematically it's almost exactly the same - you're dropped into a large, pixelised world with no real explanation on...
Earthbound, Mother 3 and the concept of Destiny - Part 1.
Jul 27, 2015
I originally posted this article on my blog which you can follow here if you want: http://experimentalrambling.tumblr.com/ - I'll aim to upload the second part on both whenever I get around to it. Earthbound is a fantastic game, one that despite being 20 years old (happy twentieth!) feels like it could still come out today. Despite relatively standard mechanics, Earthbound manages to take a gen...
