Global Agenda – First Impressions
Having been told about this game from an old clan mate, I decided to give the trial a go. Everything I have read about it says the same thing: Great idea and game play, lack of content. So far I think I agree with it. Although the trial doesn't allow you to engage in AvA (Alliance vs Alliance, effectively clans fighting against each other for [...]
Crysis 2 – My thoughts (because they’re not worth more than 2 cents)
By now you've probably seen the tech demonstration and trailer for Crysis 2. If you haven't, go here. So, being a bit of a self-professed Crysis expert, here is my take on what I have seen so far. Firstly, I have some initial concerns about Crysis 2 being able to actually run on current generation consoles. Having played and seen how hard the [...]
Theres Never Been A Good ‘Racing’ Game
Wait just a sec, before you go nutso on me for this one, hear me out. I’ve been hooked on Forza Motorsport 3 for the last 6 months or so, invested around 70 Hours, made driver level 45 and own about 100 cars. So obviously I am comfortable in saying it’s a great driving game, perhaps the best I’ve ever played. But it’s not a racing [...]
First Impressions – Mass Effect 2 (spoiler alert if you’re one of those people)
FINALLY managed to download the game (12.5gb) from steam on my shonky internet connection and have spend just two days playing it. So these are my initial impressions with the game. Firstly, game looks like number one in terms of graphics. But then given the lack of games looking better than it, thats not a problem really. And the visuals [...]
Quest for the Baltic – Part 1
I may have mentioned previously, several times in fact, that I had recently within the last month acquired a brand spanking new PC complete with all the i7 bells and SLi whistles. Having access to such a machine has of course in turn been most beneficial to my gaming, having recently completed Mass Effect 2 and right away delving deep into my [...]
Mass Effect 2 + Humanity Thoughts
(but not the kind I'm sure you were after). So I've finished 1 play through of Mass Effect 2 on the PC, and I do apologise for being too lazy to write up some indepth piece about all the ways in which I complete adore this game, in quick summarisation this is the direction video-games need to go. But while I have a few minutes to kill I [...]
The Five Build Principles of Gratuitous Space Battles
So my review of Gratuitous Space Battles just went up, check it out if you wanna get a better insight to my overall thoughts about the game, as here my only intention is to impart some knowledge I've come by in playing around with the games ship building & consequently combat system. I'll also be very interested to field comments from you, [...]
Yes, I Kiss My Mother with this Mouth
But should I really? It's a question that's become more apparent to me recently trying to brave through the countless number of child prodigies currently playing Modern Warfare 2 online. Having only a limited amount of time for the game myself, it's no wonder I'm so behind the ball in unlocking those nice gifts of perks & weapons that [...]
Sharing on Bladestorm
I took the free time today to (finally) give Bladestorm a shot, and just quickly I'm really digging it. If your not aware of the game, its a Koei released medieval themed action game which pits England against France in a loose interpretation of the 100 years war. Taking the role of a self-employed mercenary conveniently allows the player to fight [...]
Deadspace – Quick Thoughts
As usual, I'm behind the 8-ball of community interest about a title. Luckily for me in this case the buzz around Deadspace is still very much alive & relivant... as I soon found out why. Released last year to acceptable sales amongst glowing critical reviews, I picked up Deadspace around early Q2 this year and left it to sit on my shelf, [...]
