It's that time of year again. Time to reflect back on the year, not in terms of 'IRL' because frankly it's been a pretty awful year all told (F**K YOU 2016), but instead let us consider all the awesome and amazing videogames that have...

Ah August, usually the time of year where the videogame release schedule dries up more than a nun's... sense of humor? As a school teacher, it's ironically the time of year when I have the most free time to play videogames, and it's co...

No Man's Sky was on my "most anticipated" list for 2016, as I'm sure it was for a lot of people judging not only by the colossal sales (here in the UK anyway it's done exceptionally well for a nerdy space game) but also by the wave of...

I've seen a few of these articles knocking around on the internet and thought I would use the format to catch-up on some of the videogames that I've played this year, but have failed to blog about either due to time constraints or ofte...

The Uncharted games have been a long-running series from Sony throughout the last hardware generation, with one smaller game also released on the Vita, and now it’s making the leap to the PS4. I started with a back-to-back ...

Ever since the release of Dark Souls back in 2011 I’ve enjoyed picking up the various game guides released by Future Press, and later the absolutely *fantastic* Design Works series, which I would also love to review at some poin...

Supposedly it’s all over… I’ve just finished my first playthrough of Dark Souls III, and if I take From Software’s word as gospel then this is the finale to a fine trilogy of games. To say that I’ve had ...

I have to be honest here and confess that Final Fantasy XV was pretty low down in my expectations, in terms of videogames to be released this year, and has largely been overshadowed by hype for other massive releases like Persona 5 an...

So, this week ‘Bamco’ tweeted that there would be exciting Dark Souls related news  going live… then quickly backtracked to quell the tide of excitement over something like a current gen remaster of the origina...

2016 is the 30th anniversary year of the Legend of Zelda series; probably my most favourite videogame franchise of all time. To kick it off in style, Nintendo released an updated version of the GameCube and Wii’s crossover title, Le...

I first played Bloodborne back during its original release last year, when I reviewed it as part of my 2015 “Month of Souls” along with Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin. I absolutely *loved* Bloodborne, awarded it a perfect...

Salt and Sanctuary is a game that kinda drifted on and off of my radar, and to be honest I'd almost completely forgotten about it before it popped up for pre-order on the PlayStation store. Essentially, it's a 2D 'Souls-like made...

Last year was, in my humble opinion, a great year for videogames. Over the year, and in many themed gaming months, I played through some of what I now consider to be the finest videogames ever made (such as Bloodborne, The Witcher III:...

This is going to be quite a short review for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I've already written a blog post about why I've been enjoying Fallout 4, so it should come as no surprise that this is a positive review, even before you reach ...

Holy s**t! 2015 has been one helluva year for videogames!! Not only were a bunch of amazing games pushed back from 2014 only to be released amidst an already crowded schedule, but this year already had some standout titles lined...

2015 has been an absolutely cracking year for videogames, with some big name releases in long-running established series, and some truly outstanding ‘AAA’ and ‘indie’ videogames; yet one of my *most * anticipated games was a rhyth...

My name is n0signal, and I didn't like Fallout 3. I remember when it was released and my friend was all over it like a rash, and repeatedly tried to get me to play it, but to me it just looked like "Oblivion with guns" (which is precisely w...

I'm a big fan of traditional or "true" survival horror, a genre that has been in increasingly short supply, with The Evil Within being the only notable release in the last few years; the horror genre itself seems to have largely moved onto...

Despite the lukewarm reception that Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water received from Destructoid upon it's release, I kept my physical edition preorder (my wife talked sense into me that it was just one of many reviews - some of which like...

(Presented below is another guest review by my wife for Life is Strange –Episodes 4 and 5 that she originally wrote in two parts for her own blog. I’ve not actually played this game, but I’ve watched my wife play it and it seems excel...

After the release of the critically acclaimed Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, hopes were high and anticipation through the roof for Naughty Dog’s next and final game in the PS3 trilogy. Yet, when Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception came out it ...

This month is my “Month of Uncharted” and I’ve mostly been playing through Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection; a series of remasters of the original Uncharted trilogy released on PS3 but now remade into 1080p and 60fps on PS4. Whi...

When Naughty Dog released the follow-up to Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune it was immediately met with critical acclaim, and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves remains in the top ten lists of “Best Games…” for that generation of consoles. Consid...

The original Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune was released early in the PlayStation 3’s lifetime and the developer, Naughty Dog, were still getting to grips with the new and unusual hardware. I remember picking it up in 2010 along with its se...

My all-time favourite movie is Apocalypse Now, the *true* magnum opus of Francis Ford Coppola; yeah, yeah, The Godfather is great too. I remember picking it up on VHS when I was younger and watching it on my 21” CRT screen. That TV was an...

As you may or may not know, this year I have been trying to theme each month of videogame playing, so far covering series such as Zelda, 'Souls, Final Fantasy, Witcher, Metal Gear and now it's time for another new topic. Since most other ne...

Concluding my series of short retrospectives concerning the Metal Gear games is a look at one of the more divisive entries in the series, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, exclusive to the Sony PlayStation 3. Kojima is on record for...

October 2015:This month sees the release of Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, a 1080p 60fps remaster of the three Naughty Dog games originally released on the PlayStation 3, but now lovingly re-released onto PS4 and we're excited righ...

Another year and another EGX come and gone. For those of us in the UK this is often the only videogame expo we can ever get to and it's great to have such a large and exciting show on our doorstep. Despite not having anything new released h...

I have distinct memories of picking up Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater upon its release on PlayStation 2, with the media whipped into the same frenzy currently surrounding the fifth entry in this long-running series, and with hype levels a...
