    19/05/2016
    CD Projekt Red have released the main theme for the 2nd Expansion for The Witcher 3, Blood and Wine. Composed by Marcin Przybyłowicz, this piece of music has quite the epic feel and no doubt sets the tone for the expansion itself. The soundtrack is one of the many highlights...

  • To Boldly Go

    13/05/2016
    To Boldly Go… One particular franchise has lived long and prospered on both the big screen and small screen. Star Trek, from the original in 1966 through multiple series, movies, cast, crew, Star Ships and decades, it has continued where so many others have disappeared. Very few franchises have...

    Rumours suggest we may see Sony launch a PS4.5, dubbed PS4K by the internet, which has a significant GPU upgrade allowing full 4K output for games and video. It seems unlikely but let’s speculate wildly anyway. Consoles usually have at least one major redesign during their lives, commonly taking...

  • Ratchet & Clank is More Important Than You Think

    09/02/2016
    It’s been said many times, Ratchet & Clank was just going to be an HD remaster, of the PS2 Classic, just like any other. That is, until the project morphed into much more. It became a re-imagining of the original, a new game with plenty of familiarity. If the...

  • Lifeline

    03/02/2016
    Big shout out to Chris Goodwin for bringing this game to my attention. Lifeline is really something else, impressively so but it doesn’t sound like it. A text based adventure, told through the character communicating directly with you with dialogue options and choices for you to make. As I...
