[Quick Review] Red Dead Redemption
(I wrote this in Dec 2018 but it wasn’t published) It took me 8 years to do but I finally finished the game. I played it when it first released, caught in the hype, hoping to become as enamoured as so many seemed to be. Its pacing, gunplay and overall “emptiness” was enough to deter…

[REVIEW] Alan Wake
Go back to sleep, Bruv! With Alan Wake 2 release and its positive reaction from critics, I decided to do the most un-Efe like thing I could – resist buying it and finishing its predecessor. So Alan Wake – released in 2010, a cult classic that’s sort of stuck in the back of mind as…

And of course, as…

The timings being so beneficial to one another you’d be forgiven for thinking that Nintendo’s PR department invented Covid-19. To explain the game, you become the warden of a tropical island.…

Quick Review Ting: Luigi’s Mansion 3
A delight – a real delight that deserves so much more recognition and celebration than it’s already received.

White Phosphorus – acceptable barbarity and missed opportunities in gaming
Context: Activision/Infinity Ward have increased their output of information for the upcoming release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. As part of this, killstreaks have been confirmed for multiplayer. https://twitter.com/CallofDuty/status/1155886018232328192 Unsure why the inclusion of White Phosphorus has now garnered such a reaction from gaming outlets – baffling on many fronts for me personally.
