REVIEW: 'Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare'
I've said some nasty things about Call Of Duty in the past. In my review of the Black Ops 3 Beta, I called the franchise "brain-corrupting filth" only redeemed by a mindless multi-player mode that's since become surpassed by every other multi-player game ever made. I've described this series as the lowest standard in gaming, and propagandistic filth.

REVIEW: 'Firewatch'
I loved reviewing XCOM 2 last week. I've reviewed nothing but either independent or pseudo-independent games throughout the whole of 2016, and you have no idea how satisfying it was returning to a game that had actual gameplay - where you were faced with a scenario and the scenario was completely altered by your choices. It was an organic experience, not a 'walk over here'-em-up.

REVIEW: 'XCOM 2'
It's so rare to see a genuine turn based strategy game these days, where you actually need to use tactics to conquer your foes instead of reflexes. All other games still have you battle in real-time whilst having to battle with a massive interface. Even Undertale's combat was just a mini-game that got old very quickly rather than a head-to-head battle of minds. I've said this before, but turn-based games should ideally be like Chess...except with explosions.

REVIEW: 'The Witness'
One of my first reviews was Antichamber. It was an immersive, first person game that for some reason was fascinated by line-puzzles even whilst it was breaking the conventions of gaming. A perfect metaphor would be if people used advanced sonar technology to play Pong- OHWAIT.

REVIEW: 'That Dragon: Cancer'
With the deaths of David Bowie, Alan Rickman, several of my friends, my relatives, friends of relatives, relatives of friends, friends of friends, I don't think it's controversial to say that cancer sucks. Well, perhaps a more stronger word would be in order to describe the destruction of cancer. In fact, I think a better name for this game would be 'That Dick: Cancer.'
