It’s been a while. I know. I’ve probably had the busiest time of my life and it’s about to get even busier. Does this mean Blogossus is dead? Absolutely not. I’m back in the groove, back in the saddle… parallel phrasing! I sort of trailed...

Read it here in .PDF My new book on video-game journalism has been released. Enjoy it ^. And, finally, ends over a month of my life of tireless work and research. When the project to get some Guest chapters into the Volume kinda failed I...

Ayooo Still alive, honest. I'd post them on here, like I did last year, but the formatting hassles I have to go through seem to not be worth the weight. I might post the actual awards here, who knows, but the schedule is up there. Critiq...

Firstly, an apology. Secondly, <3. I have been extraordinarily busy to the point of which I've realized that all that 'time management' stuff I had before? Yeah? That doesn't matter anymore. I tried playing Skyrim for the first time in...

You should have acted. They’re already here. The Elder Scrolls told of their return. Their defeat was merely a delay. Till the time after Oblivion opened. When the sons of Skyrim would spill their own blood. But no-one wanted to bel...

I haven't finished the game, yet, so I can't really speak about any spoiler-ish details that might be juicy or something but I can at least discuss the basics of Uncharted. I realize a lot of you will be in love with this franchise, and f...

SPOILERS FOR THE DARK KNIGHT AND ARKHAM CITY NOTE: This is both a 'film critique corner' (as I do on Flixist) and a 'game critique corner' (as I do on DTOID). The very basis of this being more of a deep comparison between both film and g...

So… an elephant is in the room. November is NaNoWriMo in which I destroy my life in a bid to write a 50,000 word novella. December 25th I release Up, Down, Left, Right – Volume Three. There is clearly no time to finish Tears In Rain. It’...

Shadow of the Colossus is the greatest game ever made. I’ve explained numerous times as to why I believe that and yet here I am. Game critique corner. I’ve been chewing my way through the recent Team ICO Collection, finishing up Ico, and ...

Yay no spoilers for once! Ico is… well… let’s start off by saying Team Ico are probably one of my favourite developers of all time. They delivered Shadow of the Colossus, probably one of the most haunting and enriching experiences of my ...

SPOILERS. Resistance 3 is a fun game. It’s not super interesting nor does it have interesting design bits but it’s a more than enjoyable shooter. It floats somewhere between the shores of mediocrity and the sea of excellence. There is on...

SPOILERS [Yes I've been busy] Fallout New Vegas is one of my favourite video-games of all time. Here’s why. On my main playthrough I’ve just hit 70 hours and my other three playthroughs are half of that. This is an incredibly deep, emer...

'Ey up. Volume Three is releasing later this year given I won't have enough time next year to write it. If you don't know what I'm talking about give my last two volumes a read, the earlier one has some sloppy writing to it but you get the...

My 17th birthday was yesterday so that's interesting. I have my first driving lesson today so that's interesting. I started school this week so that's interesting. I am still working on a book along with planning a novel and a subsequent se...

SUPER SPOILERS Something happened. Human Revolution isn't my game of the year anymore. I gave Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days my game of the year last year since I wanted to be unconventional and re-define what 'game of the year' was. Namel...

That was a surprise. As in, game of the year surprise. I wasn’t expecting Human Revolution to be a good game, let alone another Deus Ex. What I got however was a deep, rich experience that nested in my nostalgia-brimmed brain and hot-wi...

Yo, go have a gander and see if I've done it right.

Hello. I’ve had a rather busy last few weeks with both my 17th birthday coming up, driving lessons being booked, a GCSE results day, various bits and pieces and also a goddamn book to write. I’m tired and I feel guilty saying this but I le...

Blimey Been a while hasn’t it? I’ve been busy with Tears In Rain, a secret project and generally everything really. In the mean time I haven’t been playing much in the way of video-games, though I did runthrough Mass Effect 1 and 2 last...

I have a confession to make: I have watched video-games more than I have played them. It's a simple fact of my life that comes along with being generally poor but it's also come with another fact: I am stupid. I do not know anything about...

Update: It seems I’ve been lazy with a lot of the thanks, in fact, more recently I’ve discovered a few more places to thank. A thank you to the Critical Distance lot for featuring my ‘Story of Boone’, same goes for Gamastura and a special t...

And now for something... completely different. Up, Down, Left, Right - Volume Two is now available in both PDF and Kindle formats. This was many months of my life of research, writing, editing and tweaking and breaking it over my knees i...

Arkham Asylum is the great comic-book video-game adaptation of all time. I don’t think anyone particularly doubts that, perhaps some have other allegiances, but to me Arkham Asylum is the pinnacle of the sub-genre of a sub-genre. It is pe...

SPOILERS, YO. I reviewed the New Vegas DLC Old World Blues for Screenjabber earlier today and, quite frankly, it is perfect. I haven’t encountered such high regard for pushing quality past the original barebones game since Minerva’s Den ...

I have finished Volume Two, it’s now printed off and super-ready for editingz. Lovely! I’ve gone over my projected page prediction and into the realms of madness with this thing. I genuinely believe that this thing holds some of my finest...
