When it comes to gaming, 90% of the time I am an all action violence killing type of gamer. But every now and then there is one game that doesn’t meet those requirements but turns out to still be great. I am talking about Viva Pinata. I bought the first one for my girlfriend and reviewed it and i recently bought her the sequel, trouble in paradise. Now what i liked about the first game was the way you raised [...]

As fans of Hideo Kojima and his games will already know, he’s a bit of a prankster. The first time I remember experiencing his madness and love for breaking the 4th wall was the Psycho Mantis fight in Metal Gear Solid. Perhaps the most interesting boss of its era, Psycho Mantis introduced the battle by “psychically” reading your past. He would comment on how many time’s you’d saved, on how you’d played so far. Perhaps his most famous manoeuvre was [...]
As Garv has already said, the other day I was lucky enough to get my hands on a PS3 – now I did intend to get one eventually, for the exclusives, yet this one just sort of fell into my lap for a good deal. This is very good news for me, and also good news for PlusXP – seeing as we now have access to all three current-gen consoles. At the moment I have three games in my collection – Metal Gear Solid [...]
When i saw the IGN twitter that the new GTA IV expansion has been announced i jumped for joy. The last expansion was fantastic, if it was a full GTA game it would easily be the best GTA game ever! As for the second Expansion. I am a little skeptical. But i was always taught never judge a book by its cover. Yeah, i had to check the date to see it wasn’t April 1st. The next Xbox exclusive expansion is called GTA IV the [...]
Games games games! Now that uni has now finished that is one of the main things on my mind. One of the very few things i am passionate about in life at the moment. Maybe someday i will grow out of it? Seeing as i am my fathers son and he still plays halo with his work colleges on his lunch breaks i don’t see myself growing out of it. For me they are my escapism from the world. But i know [...]
As of today i have officially finished my uni corse. All my work was handed in around midday today and now i am free to game to my hearts content (well at least for about a month before i get a stinking job) So now im back on the blogging circuit what is in store? Guitar Hero Metallica Review! Its finally out this friday in the UK (took its time or what) and i have been saving for it. My most anticipated game yet this year and [...]
I have only really gotten into online gaming this generation – as is the same with many people. Aside from the odd PC gamer with a bit of technical skill, online gaming generally was only for the people who knew how to. Admittedly, I played one or two in the past – a little of Guild Wars and a tiny amount of matches of other games such as StarCraft – although I found myself having to put a lot of [...]
When it comes to sand box games I always used to swear by Grand Theft Auto. When i played GTA 3 for the first time i was hooked. It was just a shame that it happened to be on my mates PS2. I remember spending the whole night i was their just running around killing people, running from the police and squashing everyone in a vast array of cars. For me GTA 3 was the best game ever. Then there [...]
I really should have done this review sooner but as i have been busy with uni and stuff iits been a bit of a perlava. But be rest assured, next friday all my work is being handed in and i will catch up on the blog ——————————– From an early-ish age I went through a stage on the ps1 where i loved 3rd person plat formers. Spyro and crash Bandicoot were my favorite ones, but i also played Croc and [...]
As you are all fully aware by now i am a huge FPS fan. I feel a bit like a stuck record when i say it but i just like to get my point across, so apologies if i sound like a bad drum and base track :p Anyway with the recent announcement of the Recently diseased 3D realms one of my fave FPS franchises off all time has supposedly bit the dust. News has been going all round the shop about what is going to [...]
