And so it begins again Sometimes a game can just sneak up on me, without my knowing it becomes a large part of my playing time – even if it is always a little too far from the front of my brain when talking about favourite things to play, or games that I come back to. For the last few years, No Man’s Sky has been that sort of a game for me. I picked it up when it first came out on PC and have p...
I get very influenced by the video output of the GB Team. I will completely forget how I might love to watch fighting games but rarely like playing them; only to see a clip of Jeff playing a Street Fighter game and I am re-installing every version I have, playing them for 10 minutes before promptly uninstalling them again. I love games, all sorts of games, but I am often made very aware there a...
Getting away from it all was probably the biggest goal of the year for some of us. Although, unlike these poor stranded guys, the option to return was something I had. Coming up with top ten lists, especially only looking over games of the last twelve months, has been tough for me the last few years as my time and budget to keep up with all the things I’d like to becomes less available to do so...
Ah, exactly how I remember my journey to school. The 80s were a strange time. As a person who grew up in that decade, I have a somewhat difficult relationship with the nostalgia and reverence for certain aspects of that period of time that creeps into modern media, particularly music and games. I got very into synthwave music a few years back, partly down to the rabbit hole that the Drive (film...
A truly gorgeous looking game that I couldn't quite see to the end. So, a while back now I thought I’d start a series of blogs on here about trying out various faming games, with a leaning towards the Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons games. After having a good go at Littlewood (which has had some great updates since that blog) my plan had been to dive head first into Doraemon: A Story of Seasons....
Really should have noticed the version number on this screen before hitting play. 2019 was a particularly rubbish year in our little house. We went through losing family members and job redundancies which pushed us into challenging times mentally and financially, which alongside all the other life stuff changed the way I was able to approach and play games – up until recently a major part of my...
(Old Blogger blog from April 2015) State of Decay has been a wonderfully clunky, not quite what it could be but still a great deal of fun to play addition to my digital pile of games that I hope that one day I get to finish. As I am unlikely to ever probably invest my time in the franchise behemoth that is a GTA game again it has been a nice alternative and stopped me having to return to Red De...
(Moving posts over from Blogger to here. This is from Feb 2105.) Two weeks, five days, twelve hours and a handful of minutes. That figure was the total amount of playing time I clocked up on the Gamecube version of Timesplitters 2. I was confronted with that figure when I thought I would take advantage of a rare day when I got the chance to break out one of the old consoles to try and remind my...
