Hello, and welcome back to Load of Bollocks’ critique of the Uncharted series. Well, we’re finally here. After the conclusion of my critiques for the first three games, we’re approaching the end. The final game, Unch...

Hello, and welcome back to Load of Bollocks’ Uncharted series critique. It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I got burnt out thinking about Uncharted when I wrote the first couple installments in this series that I decided ...

I’m sitting at my desk. Thinking. Staring my computer in the face. The blue light is burning into the back of my skull, screaming at me, “Sleep. Why won’t you sleep?” It’s a question that I ask myself on ...

So just who the hell is Load of Bollocks? Well, I’m a sensual lover of videogames, a journalism student, and--- Wait. What the hell? I’ve posted 12 blogs before this one. How can this be my intro blog? I suppose I’ve...

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about videogames, it’s that “fun” means something different to everyone. When I was young, I was certain that everyone played games because they were “fun.” W...

We have weird fucking relationships with videogame publishers. We as gamers want to have healthy relationships with them, but most of the time they just disappoint us in one way or the other, eventually breaking out hearts. Sometimes ...

Today is my birthday. It’s my 21st too, which means I’ll be able to celebrate later tonight by getting drinks and whatnot! However, my birthday has a quite a bit of added meaning for me. An event happened on my birthday ten...

The Uncharted series is one of the most celebrated and divisive series of games in recent memory. And while critics seem to unanimously think these games are incredible, the gaming community is split about whether these games are any ...

Well hi there! Welcome to my GOTY awards! I wrote this up on a whim yesterday for fun, and thought I'd share it with you kind folk here on Granny's very own Destructoid. I’m keeping this one short and sweet, no lengthy introducti...

The cycle of game development is not a patient one. Seldom are today’s developers given the proper amount of time to sculpt their game into the best it could possibly be, and rarer still are these devs given adequate amounts of ...

It’s that time of the year again. There’s a chill in the air, the night grows long and dark, and the kids won’t stop knocking on the door asking you where your money is. That’s right, it’s Halloween! Ever...

Music in most modern videogames is not as integral a component as it once was. A number of games today skirt by with soundtracks that are passable, but do no aspire to be anything other than just that. However, just two decades ago, t...

It’s Saturday. I already know what I’m doing when the evening rolls around. Like any respectable gamer, instead of going out to a crowded bar and spending more money that I should on drinks, I’m playing the videogame...

Resident Evil 4 was so choice that Capcom tried to recreate that same euphoric high twice in the 10 years since RE4’s release, and failed both times. And while Capcom may be trying new things with future RE games, that’s n...

Is Platinum the only game developer that makes good action games anymore? Recently, it seems that the quality of hack-and-slash games ranges from terribly boring, or excellent and dripping with polish. The genre may be p...
