It would be a rather rare sight to see me playing an MMO for several hours on end. In fact, if you know anything about my gaming habits you will realise I don’t touch the things, for fear of being sucked in and the little time I do have to devote to gaming relinquished from me forever. I’m sure they’re great games, and... Read More »

Bye-bye 2012! Don’t forget to write!

Bye-bye 2012! Don’t forget to write!

I have mixed feelings about 2012; half of me feels glad to see the back of it, but half of me remembers it fondly.

Joey’s Initial Wii U Impressions

Joey’s Initial Wii U Impressions

Snobbery is something that comes into play when we talk about video games. Those who play games tend to put themselves into different groups and those who consider themselves ‘hardcore’ always look down upon the so called ‘casual’. The original Wii is still looked down upon by a certain group of gamers and, naturally, ... Read More »

The Science of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2

The Science of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2

In recent years the Call of Duty franchise has suffered from a loss of plausibility in the perception of gamers and critics alike. This year Treyarch took a somewhat unexpected dive into the sea of science fiction by setting Black Ops 2 in the near-future. But one does not simply ‘make’ a sci-fi game, so the question i...

RIP Squaresoft 1989-2003

RIP Squaresoft 1989-2003

I can remember the first time I was introduced to a Final Fantasy game. I was 11 years old and at a swimming lesson. Afterwards, my friend – knowing what a big game geek I was – presented me with a copy of Final Fantasy VII to borrow. PlayStation was a new thing, and the idea of playing a game that had 3 discs alone ha... Read More »
