Fallout 3 and our Apocalyptic Tendencies!

I recently got a resurgent interest in all things post apocalyptic. This has absolutely nothing to do with an idea I got a few days ago to perhaps pursue my thesis on Post-Apocalyptic literature next year. So of course my first natural response was to get the greatest Fallout craving I ever had. This was […]

Infamous 2: Review

Infamous 2: Review (Warning this review contains possible plot spoilers for the FIRST Infamous, but if you haven’t played the first, why are you reading this anyway? Go play the first then we’ll talk again, tisk!) Infamous was the first game my Ps3 ever slowly drew into its now ever hungry disc rom. I shouldn’t […]

Release date:  March 2012 Developer: Superflat Games Not being much of an indie player, until just after playing Lone Survivor, and my subsequent purchase of my very own Humble Bundle, I went into this game with quite a bit of scepticism.

The Importance of Story in Modern Gaming

The importance of story has fluctuated throughout the history of the gaming culture. Back when systems were slow and weak an emphasis were put on story to make up for the lack of graphics or interactive game play. Then came the nineties with the boom of the Playstation and introduction of the CD and 3d […]

My Review: Darksiders

It’s finally here! My first attempt at a legitimate review so let’s see how it goes… I popped Darksiders into my PS3 and expected something to the likes of Dante’s Inferno or God of War. I was pleasantly surprised though to receive something.. how can one say, much more fulfilling? Having still to play GOW3, […]

In Summary: Skyrim and its Baggage

  As I mentioned in my previous post this was the first game I bought for myself in making my comeback in to the gaming universe. In many ways there was no better way to do it. First of all this was one of the most anticipated game in 2011  and secondly on a more […]
