January PSNow – Frostpunk (Review)
January's PSNow titles were Bioshock, Bioshock 2, Bioshock Infinite, Frostpunk, Surviving Mars and The Crew 2. As I've played the three Bioshock games a number times - there's never too many - I decided to give something I'd never played a go; I chose Frostpunk. Frostpunk is city-building survival game that was released in April … Continue reading January PSNow – Frostpunk (Review)
Stardew Valley: Not Just a Farming Sim (A Review)
A little while ago we were browsing the various game stores for something new to play. When Googling some games, we came across a little game called Stardew Valley. Now, I will admit that I wasn't really sold on the idea of this game, but it was really up Alex's street so after watching the … Continue reading Stardew Valley: Not Just a Farming Sim (A Review)
Moonlighter – Sales and Slashing (A Review)
Last year we discovered a new game; Moonlighter. We watched a trailer for this delightful little dungeon crawling shopkeeper game and straight away we knew that it was our kind of game. It was reasonably cheap for a physical copy, so we went ahead and ordered a copy. When it arrived, I was knee-deep in … Continue reading Moonlighter – Sales and Slashing (A Review)
Wreckfest – Mediocre Destruction (A Review)
Wreckfest is a destruction racing game that was released back in 2014 and onto PSNow in December 2020. As soon as I saw this game, I was looking forward to it.

Video Games and Keeping Fit
It's that time of year again where people say they're going to the gym. This year though they won't have to get the membership, go for two weeks, and then never go again. At least in some places, they won't even be able to find an open gym. So how are people going to get … Continue reading Video Games and Keeping Fit
Vampyr: Not Just a Vampiric Killing Spree
*DISCLAIMER: THIS POST MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS AND SOLUTIONS TO PUZZLES* In my time off over Christmas, Alex and I thought it would be a good idea to try to get the platinum trophy on Vampyr for the PS4. In the end we eventually got it for both of us, and I thought the game would … Continue reading Vampyr: Not Just a Vampiric Killing Spree
My Game of the Year (Hopefully No Spoilers)
This year has been a year of staying in - whether by choice or enforced - and playing games. Though there have been many new games this year, I've mainly been playing older ones, catching up on some that have been on my to-play list for a long time. Having said this though there are … Continue reading My Game of the Year (Hopefully No Spoilers)
December PSNow – Stranded Deep (A Review)
A few months ago we decided that to stop us spending a fortune on new games, and to play things that we wouldn’t necessarily have bought, we’d get PSNow. As we play through the games when they’re added, I’m going to give them a bit of a review and let you know what we thought … Continue reading December PSNow – Stranded Deep (A Review)
Monday Writing Update
Hello and welcome to another joyous 2020 day. Well, that’s enough of that, let’s get on trudging through the day until the next crappy thing happens.
