REVIEW: 'Her Story'


Why no Arkham Knight? Because I don't care.

I still haven't played Arkham Asylum. It's one of those games I keep playing before taking a break and coming back to it only to restart the game again because I've forgotten the controls. I'm just not getting into it, probably because the combat consists of just mashing one button until everyone is unconcious, the stealth is overly simplified, and the story makes me yawn. Maybe it'll turn out Arkham Knight is the next Les Miserables but even if I actually wanted to drop £40 for a game I didn't care about, I can't because it's been taken off Steam. The PC port is that terrible.

REVIEW: 'Skyrim'


You probably haven't heard of this game. It's a little known indie game that was quietly released back in 2011 and which I've only just discovered and begun playing. I have absolutely no idea why anyone hasn't discussed this game before, and after sinking more time than it would take to write the first draft of a novel into this - I thought it was finally time to talk about it.

REVIEW: 'Kholat'


I suspect that in a few hundred years time, we're going to experience some major event that results in society needing to be completely rebuilt. When that happens, historians are going to mistake fiction for historical texts. They'll think aliens built the pyramids, Robin Hood actually existed, and we once fought off the galactic empire.

REVIEW: 'Kung Fury: Street Rage'


It's got to the point now where I don't think 2D, low-pixel games ever went away. They reached their heyday in the early-90's, and returned in the late-2000s to haunt us once more with limited continues, awkward keyboard controls, and insane difficulty.

RETROSPECTIVE: 'BioShock Infinite'


I've discussed System Shock 2, BioShock, and BioShock 2. I might as well do a retrospect of BioShock Infinite...even though it was only released two years ago. But this makes sense considering current-gen gaming has yet to offer anything this interesting or 'out there' or just good.
