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...
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...
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 ,...
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...
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...
Part 1. Hey guys, Okami happened again today - I cleared a dungeon to say the least. I apologise if this may seem a bit rambling at times but I'm still figuring out the best way to actually write something like this. A Microsoft Paint interpretation of the disguise Amaterasu used to infiltrate the Moon Cave. Okay, we last left off with Amaterasu and Issun entering the third dungeon of the game...
I encountered an incredibly strange situation recently - I was looking for something to play on my backlog and noticed that for the first time in a while I don't really have a backlog. I'm playing a few things but they aren't like... you know, that BIG SINGLE-PLAYER GAME that you feel like you have to complete and it just hangs over you until you complete it. Nope, that particular game isn't on...
So, lemme tell the world about some games and stuff I’ve been playing recently in as succinct a way as possible. DARK SOULS 2 Pretty good ya know, I kind of wrote it off last year as “UTTER SHIT HAS COMPLETELY LOST WHATEVER IT WAS I LIKED ABOUT DARK SOULS” when really I just got a bit bored with it. I don’t think it’s as good as 1 but it’s still fun and the online aspect is really cool. It is a...
