  • Chivalry 2 – An Axe In The Back & An Arrow In The Eye

    Like a modern – well, medieval – Paris of Troy, I stalk the ramparts and scaffolding surrounding the gatehouse. The gatehouse must be defended from the modern – well, medieval – Achilles of Greece, and his allies, who swarm like wasps towards their objective while my allies and I...
  • Star Wars Squadrons’ Refreshing Embrace of the Dark Side

    Back in 2017, Star Wars: Battlefront 2 left me bitterly disappointed. After the first game lacked a story mode, the sequel not only flaunted such a campaign but also promised to deliver a narrative from the imperial perspective. I even read the prequel novel following the prior exploits of...
  • Tanked Up 268 – E3 Overboard on Maravilla Island

    It’s E3 week so we chat all about the various previewed games and our top anticipated games, so you don’t have to wade through all them trailers We also talked about “Overboard” a cruise-ship detective ididit and “The Beasts of Maravilla Island” a photo-cataloguing game on a magical island...
  • The Space Odyssey Begins To Unfold

    Elite Dangerous: Odyssey is incomplete. It’s incomplete, partly, for the same reason Elite Dangerous as a whole is incomplete. There will always be more. Players will always want more.

    For the past few years, I’ve only played Battlefield games when they’ve arrived at no additional cost on PlayStation Plus. It was true for Battlefield Hardline, Battlefield 1, and now Battlefield V which has been added to the service a mere month before the big reveal of the upcoming...

    Lucasfilm is more than just Star Wars. While the space opera in all its incarnations is still the company’s behemoth franchise, the newly branded ‘Lucasfilm Games’ (why not just Lucas Games?) is bringing its other nostalgic film series back to video games: Indiana Jones. It seems we live in...
  • Addicted to Orlog in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

    It’s November 2012 and I’m pissed off. You see, I’m something of a Trophy Hunter myself. Maybe not obsessively so but I look at the list of those useless little things before playing any PlayStation game and aim to unlock the platinum whenever possible. I’m also a big Assassin’s...
  • Valhalla’s Vinland Arc is my Favourite Assassin’s Creed Content in Years

    Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is a huge game. The last few entries in the series have expanded the franchise into a full-blown RPG with hundreds of hours of content across a massive open world. There was some push back against the sheer size of Greece in Odyssey, as well as...
  • Discovering Dishonored

    With the PlayStation 5 on the horizon, I’ve dedicated the past few months of gaming to filling in some of those gaps we all have in our respective gaming knowledge by playing through acclaimed games and franchises that I’ve somehow left untouched. The Bioshock games were fantastic, as were...
