Here we are again, the start of another year and another decade, and so it’s time to look back at the year that’s passed. As with 2008 I’ve decided to do a proper look back at my gaming for the past twelve months: so all the games of 2009 whether they were started, finished or [...]

I’m sure by now everyone knows that Modern Warfare 2’s online is plagued by some serious glitches, the most famous of which is the Javelin glitch, causing a player to instantly explode violently when killed, usually destroying his attacker and possibly anyone else in the area.
Both Infinity Ward and Microsoft have responded to the prevalence [...]

Modern Warfare 2 was always going to have a lot to live up to, after all it’s the sequel to one of the finest shooters to grace the gaming landscape in recent times – the mighty Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare – a game I was more than a little enamoured with and put [...]

This weekend I found myself heading to London town to check out the last day of the Eurogamer Expo and take a look at a number of upcoming titles that were there. It was a pretty good day out all in all and there were a bunch of great games to get hands on with, [...]

Once again it’s been another set of busy months for me on a number of fronts and so effort for writing full reviews for those games helping keep me busy has somewhat gone out of the window. However, here’s another quick review blast for those games that have been occupying my time recently:

The idea is simple: take the excellent framework of Battlefield 1942 and three of the most popular multiplayer maps that game produced, add in the Frostbite engine used to power Battlefield: Bad Company, simplify the class system and vehicles for a perfect ‘jump in and play’ style game and sit back and watch the copies [...]

Having been occupying my time recently with returns to well-worn games such as Rock Band (both 1 and 2) and Burnout Paradise, as well as wasting time on Battlefield 1943, which I will try to get a review out for in the next few days, it seems I should perhaps be actually trying to make [...]

Over the last few months or so I’ve been intending to write reviews for a number of games that I’ve played and beaten, though the distraction of playing the games themselves or lack of inspiration when it came to writing that never quite happened. However, so as not to leave them forgotten before I move [...]

Apologies for the lack of updates, I’m in the process of getting a couple of reviews sorted, but have been busy with all the usual gubbins, including a bit of illness I’ve not been able to fully shake just yet. But enough of that, time for a little bit of a rant inspired by this [...]
