All reviewsBorderlands2009
5 out of 5 starsPeople have been talking about crossing an FPS with an MMO for a while now and the game that usually springs to mind is Huxley. With that nowhere in sight, the bar has already been set very high by Borderlands. Combining an incredibly solid shooter with the quest structure of an MMO, a great set of random drops and a well implemented levelling system has worked out really well and made for a pretty unique…
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves2009
5 out of 5 starsYou can't review a game 3 days after its release date and call it 'the best game I have ever played' and expect people to take you or your reviews seriously from that point onwards. I am aware of this. The fact that I even have to be thinking about this says a lot about how much I liked Uncharted 2. The original Uncharted was my introduction to the PS3 and having sat down overnight with a friend and played right…
Brütal Legend2009
4 out of 5 starsLet's get the important part out of the way right up front: Brutal Legend is a funny, funny game. I liked the story a lot and was glad to see how well Double Fine have captured the ridiculousness of Metal music and lyrics without making fun of them at any point. While the fact that Brutal Legend is or at least includes elements of a real time strategy game has been made publicly available knowledge for many months…
Tomb Raider: Underworld2008
4 out of 5 starsThe original Tomb Raider is still one of my favourite games of all time and the recent PSN rerelease showed me that the original is still pretty much playable thirteen years after the fact. I feel that the series dropped off significantly with every game from there onwards, hitting absolute rock bottom with Angel of Darkness. Tomb Raider Legend was an absolute breath of fresh air and was one of my favourite games of…

Having earned 100,000 achievement points and moved out to university - studying journalism - I'm not playing anywhere near as many games as I was and I'm not missing it as much as I thought I might. Look for this blog to be mainly movie reviews from here on in.
I'd like to thank Quantic Dream for completely wasting my weekend

Heavy Rain tells a great story in an interesting way. I'm not arguing that there is no merit to it. Were it not for the technical issues I'd give it a near perfect score. The unfortunate fact of the matter is that my copy of Heavy Rain has had the audio dropping out pretty constantly in almost every single scene. During one of these I decided I'd missed so much that I popped up the PS3 menu and...
Rapidly approaching 100,000 points.
Jan 29, 2010
Current Xbox 360 achievement score stands at precisely 99500. I managed to hit exactly 55555 and 77777 and I intend to hit exactly 100,000 as well. I managed the most difficult part earlier today when I used Watchmen on XBLA to even up my score so it no longer ends in a 1 or a 6. Finished the first level without getting hit for 11 and while attempting that I clocked over 100 thrown enemy knockd...
Another preliminary list - 2009's movies.
Dec 26, 2009
This is a straight copy/paste from my Word document. The list I still need to see is almost as long as the top ten itself, which says a lot about how final anything on it might be, but here it is: Shaunage's Top Ten Movies of 2009 in order. Inglourious Basterds The Boat That Rocked Watchmen Avatar An Education Moon The Hurt Locker The Messenger Bad Lieutenant District 9 It is worth noting that...
Quick Thoughts - Early GOTY top ten contenders
Nov 20, 2009
I've had a quick look over everything I've played over the last year and have come up with this list of ten. In no particular order: Uncharted 2 Borderlands Infamous Resident Evil 5 Ratchet: Crack in Time Batman: Arkham Asylum Assassin's Creed 2 Forza 3 Modern Warfare 2 Red Faction Guerilla There are a few big name games missing, some because I didn't like them, some because I didn't get time t...
Change of format. Also Backlog news and Morrowind.
Oct 11, 2009
It occurs to me that I've been reviewing games in this blog while this fine site has a system in place to create a starred review so from here on in, anything I finish is getting the star treatment. Tomb Raider Underworld is the first of these and you can expect reviews of ODST and Mass Effect any day now. http://www.giantbomb.com/tomb-raider-underworld/61-20694/user_reviews/?review=11029 I've...
