PlayStation Network to be down longer than expected It’s been a couple of weeks since 77 million PS3 users found themselves without access to online services – but it’s not over yet.

Yes, its very much still alive Portal was unlike any game I had ever played before. Not only was the concept new and refreshing, but puzzles challenging, the story line compelling and the in game physics quite simply mind bending.

Everyone probably knows by now that FPS games are my thing, I have said it enough times and I am probably going to say it several more times before I die, it’s even getting to the point that when I do die I do genuinely hope that I respawn and get another go. But with all that being said my FPS tastes have been broadening and I do genuinely thank Portal for this. When I first played Portal back on [...]
Back when I first got my hands on Portal when it was released in 2007, I was both amazed and hooked to what had to be the best game that I though was ever made. It was like nothing I had ever played before. Granted I was and always will be an FPS fan through and through, but Portal was so much its narrative was well thought out and its game play was second to none. No one had ever [...]
One of the very few games I always come back too when I have nothing else to play is Portal.

God knows how many times I have played through the first Portal and loved it.

For the past week or so now I have pretty much been playing the Left 4 Dead 2 demo non-stop. Being as skint as I am, I need to get my hands on all the free gaming I can at the moment. So as I ploughed my way through countless amounts of zombies and the undead, I got thinking - Is Left 4 Dead a welcome return to the classic style First Person Shooter (FPS)? Let me lay down some facts [...]

Throughout recent years, survival horror games have been based on zombies. The successful horror games of this and last generation have been on beings who like to consume humans. Mainly because some sort of virus has taken a hold on the world, and changed human life as we know it into a crazed ridden, flesh eating, vacant stare kind of race.
