RETROSPECTIVE: 'Runescape'

Every once in a while, my brain suddenly reminds me that Runescape still exists. This usually happens every three years or so, and whenever I do I log in, play for an hour or so to see what's changed and what's still the same, then I sign off and forget about the whole thing for another couple of years.

REVIEW: 'Deus Ex: Revision' (Mod)

If you don't know, Deus Ex is one of my favourite games. It's a 2000 PC classic released at the peak of the Golden Age that combines shooting, roleplaying, and stealth to create an experience never seen before or since. Even it's inferior sequels/prequels/awful mobile games keep trying to scale things back down.

REVIEW: 'Fallout 4'

It was a week ago today when the reviewer embargo on this game was lifted. It was also six days go today that this game was available to us proletarians to play. Since then everyone and their head-lice has discussed this game. Alas: I must join them...

REVIEW: 'Undertale'

In my Psychonauts retrospective, I lamented on the absence of comedy games. Aside from The Stanley Parable, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, and Portal 2 - I cannot name a comedy game made in the past 5 years. There's the LEGO games I suppose, but now they've become an entity unto themselves with the whole Dimensions thing. I would've reviewed it, but I don't have a PS4 or all the money in the world to actually buy Dimensions.

RE-REVIEW: 'Mount and Blade: Warband'

Why assasinate a corpse? Why garnish chicken cordon-bleu with more chicken cordon-bleu? Why review a game I've already reviewed? Because, like Skyrim, I've sunk an embarrasingly long amount of time into this game and I need an excuse for doing so.

REVIEW: 'Skyrim'

You probably haven't heard of this game. It's a little known indie game that was quietly released back in 2011 and which I've only just discovered and begun playing. I have absolutely no idea why anyone hasn't discussed this game before, and after sinking more time than it would take to write the first draft of a novel into this - I thought it was finally time to talk about it.

RETROSPECTIVE: 'System Shock 2'

Once again, the PC Gamer smugness strikes again. The kids these days rave about how Bioshock is a deep, absorbing narrative experience unlike any other. Which confuses me because System Shock 2 is the exact same game only deeper, more absorbing and in space. 

RETROSPECTIVE: 'Deus Ex'

You might recognise this game. Similar to how every moviegoer has probably heard of The Seventh Seal, yet never seen it – every gamer has probably spied Deus Ex on a list of ‘Greatest Games Of All Time’ yet has either never played it or has attempted to play it before giving up forever. And I weep for those people. 

REVIEW: ‘Mount And Blade: Warband’

This will no doubt make me lose a lot of credibility as a reviewer and gamer in general…but I don’t really like sandbox games.
