Welcome to the latest episode of Gaming Memories. I would like to take you on another journey, to a time that included the more pivotal moments in gaming, that I had opportunity to experience first hand. However, […]

Comic books and games have always had in my mind a rocky relationship. So many games have offered great promise, with the chance to control some of my favourite characters. Alas so few have delivered on these […]

Darkstalkers – the much loved fighter from Capcom has not been seen for many years, lying asleep like the proverbial sleeping giant. Now though it has returned, stirring once more from its slumber, set to start […]

When I was asked if I’d review the latest Naruto Shippuden game I said yes… but felt a little trepidation. I’ve seen people talking about and I’ve even seen clips of the TV show, with the young boy in an orange […]

When I first heard about Star Wars Battlefront, I was a little skeptical – unsure whether it would work, or be another lame tie-in. Launched in 2004 it soon became one of my most played games of the year. It was […]

This generation has seen a big change in how we deal with games we have yet to finish. Dubbed the ‘pile of shame’, there seems to be a big emphasis on what we have left to play through, with efforts doubled to […]

I seem to be in a fix! The world seems to have lost some of it’s magical feeling. I feel a little like Austin Powers in The Spy Who Shagged Me! You see I’ve found myself in a little slump of late – gaming in […]

A long time a go in a galaxy far, far away….well, to be more precise, the year 1993, I was honoured to play a game that is in my opinion one of the best space flight simulators ever to grace a PC or console. I […]

2012 is behind us, and once more we have ushered in a new era. Welcome to the New Year; a new beginning, a year full of dreams and promises. Having spent the last few days looking back at the last gaming year, I […]

Back in the eighties, before Transformers and before Thundercats, there was a cartoon series that grabbed a whole generation. One of a hero with blond wavy hair and a physique that nowadays would be highly […]

Achievements – the little carrot on the end of a big stick, given to us by Microsoft. Adding yet another social aspect to gaming, the idea has since been emulated on other platforms, grabbing us one by one! Are […]

If you have been reading my pieces for a while, you will know that I’m a huge Sonic fan. He was the character I grew up with and one that has always held a special place in my tiny heart. You may also be aware […]

This year marks the tenth anniversary of a game that made a rather massive impact upon my gaming life. It was the new entry into a successful series of games – a series that until this point I had never really […]

Sat here today looking through some screenshots of old games that I used to love playing again and again, I found myself getting carried away once more on a trip filled with nostalgia. Memories of a time that […]

Halo – a universe created by Bungie. A stellar title on the Xbox 360, with characters that I have grown to love over the years. It’s a franchise that is close to many of our hearts – now the fourth instalment has […]

After swooning a little over the campaign in Halo 4, it was time for me to hit the multiplayer to see if 343 could deliver an authentic ‘Halo’ experience. Would this be the chink in 343’s armour, or could they […]

Assassin’s Creed is a series of games that I instantly fell in love with; the free running across city roof tops, the fast but fun combat and the rather intriguing storyline. Every year since the launch of the […]
