Hey folks, welcome to the weekend. It seems this week was relatively less chaotic than last, which I'm sure we all appreciated. I hope that you and yours and all doing well and that you're continuing to find a path through the start of this...

To paraphrase a good man I know, this week has been a month. In fact, things have been so hectic that I legitimately forgot what day it was, and went to bed completely convinced that Friday was Thursday. Such is the way of a wild world. I c...

It is now - officially - a brand new year. I was starting to think that we'd never get here. I sincerely hope 2021 brings you much joy, success, and happiness. Do err on the side of caution, however. The date is merely a number, after all, ...

Hey folks, hope you're enjoying the spirit of the season. Regardless of whether you celebrate or even care about Christmas, it's still nice that, for most people, the world slows down just a tad to give us all some breathing room. And lord ...

I came to the realization just yesterday that we were exactly one week away from Christmas, (or at least for those of us who celebrate it). Time had completely gotten away from me, given recent events including the U.S. election, my birthda...

I cannot tell a lie, I'm feeling a little grotty this morning. And after spending yesterday sweeping up news, (as well as taking care of some fires - not literally - at home), I'm not quite as on-the-ball as usual for this, our regular Satu...

And just like that, it's December. 2020 - both the fastest and longest year in the history of time and space - is about to come to an end. As the nights draw darker and the air a little chillier, the winter months see the coming of GOTY awa...

Happy weekend, friends! As we approach the final month of 2020, I hope that this week has found you and yours very well indeed. For my American friends, I hope you are enjoying the Thanksgiving holidays. For everyone else, Hell it's still a...

Duck and cover, folks. The new generation is now officially underway. While some territories had to hold off for an extra week, both Sony's PlayStation 5 and Microsoft's Xbox Series X hardware are now officially out in the wild, ready to ro...

Well, the shit's on now, right? November has already been quite eventful, not in the least bringing about the launch of the ninth generation of gaming. As somebody who was somehow breathing when the first generation was underway, it's been ...

Maybe it's just me, but it seems that, somehow, the weeks of the horrorscape that is 2020 are getting faster and faster. Events that once seemed set in the future are upon us, impending, or passed entirely. It feels as if the year has flown...

Are the nights drawing in faster in your neck of the woods? Here in the U.K. we have put the clock backs, which lead to dark mornings and darker evenings. This can be tough on the old noodle, and I've found myself losing balance on numerous...

Hello again, folks, and welcome to the weekend. As if this was exceedingly possible, we are already at the end of October. This means many things. Winter is approaching, annual gaming releases are on the horizon, a new console generation is...

It has been a week, both in my own localised life bubble and in the greater picture of this here planet. I miss the days when I could open these articles with a simple "Hey yo" and a brief reminder to love yourselves and each other, but the...

Hello again everybody, and welcome to another weekend. As we already push toward the middle of October in what has been simultaneously the shortest AND longest year in the history of time, I hope that this post finds you very well indeed. T...

As the old adage goes: "There's not many a problem a bicycle to the face doesn't cure," and one man who took this ancient proverb to heart was Yakuza protagonist Kazuma Kiryu. While one of gaming's finest ever heroes - mostly due to his sto...

Lordy, it's been a week. I hope it's been a better one for you. But before we get down to the business of game talk, I have to thank all y'all. Last week's "Whatcha Been Playin'" post got a staggering 426 comments, which I believe is a new ...

Hey folks, welcome to the weekend. As we press forward into mid-September and the fall season, it can't be denied that it feels like 2020 has been, well, a bit of a bust. I get that. I think to a degree we're all getting that. But just keep...

[Update: The winning title is Control, with about 40% of the votes, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy came in a strong second. Thanks to everyone who voted! We'll do this again soon, and don't worry, the runners-up will get their day!]Friends, I'm...

And you made it. I made it. We all made it. It is the end of another week and I hope that it is a week that finds you and yours very well. It's still a weird world filled with strange days (great movie), but I do think we're all showing inc...

So yeah, last week's "Whatcha Been Playin'?" was a little deep and I really appreciate the kind comments I received in return. The simple fact of the matter is that it's important to me that y'all know you're important. I don't dally about ...

Sometimes, I use this spot as an opportunity to talk about my thoughts on all matters gaming. Sometimes, I use it to touch upon world events at large. Sometimes, I don't know what to say and just talk about my infatuation with Z-grade explo...

I don't know what it's like in your neck of the woods, but Hoo Boy its been scorchio here this week. Not quite as hot as last year - when my chocolate bar went grey and my PS4 console was fried in a thunderstorm - but the humidity here is p...

A light-gun shooter without the light-gun; a cover shooter without cover; a first-person QTE simulator; an awful life experience - Rambo: The Video Game is all of these things and more. Teyon's infamously bad 2014 release attempts to authen...

To paraphrase The Rolling Stones, Tiii-iiime isn't on my side. No it isn't. Between work, some ongoing real-life situations, and an unscripted night in the hospital, I'm not finding the gaps to indulge in some of my loves - and I don't even...
