Alien Swarm: Awesomeness Evolved

If you haven’t already got Alien Swarm then I’m going to assume you have you head buried so deep in the sand that you can see the Earth’s core. Alien Swarm is a free Source Engine adaptation of the original UT2K4 mod which was developed but the UT2K4 developers, Valve simply hired them and set [...] more

Kino no Tabi: Where do I start?

Honestly, I don’t know where to start with this anime…I suppose I’ll tell you why I watched it. Last year Fireryda did a blog post here about his top 5 female anime characters with Kino from Kino no Tabi heading the list which stunned me at the time because I had never heard of her [...] more

Metro 2033: Impressions

Recently I started up in some post-apocalyptic action in Metro 2033. After having a fit of errors loading for the first time that required me to dick around with display settings and update various DirectX things I managed to get into the game without it loading as a plain black screen. To start I have [...] more

DearS

Yes, yes I know. More Anime. It’s because games suck and all I play currently is BC2 and TF2 with a wee bit of L4D2 on the side. Also I apologise for the screenshots I will post below, I only had a low quality 4:3 sub seeing as its a few years old now. The [...] more

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex

I got this anime because a long time ago I played the Ghost in the Shell game on the original Playstation. The game was a hell of a lot of fun (at least I think it was) and it stuck forever in my mind as you being this bad ass robot running around making other [...] more

B Gata H Kei – Impressions

I really didn’t want to start any new anime series this season purely because I still have a lot backed up to watch on my HDD’s but to be fair I knew I would not be able to resist because having something to watch weekly makes me get up in the morning. No doubt you [...] more

Mount and Blade

Yes, I know….this game was released 2 years ago…sue me. I was advised to get Mount and Blade by Budda simply cause “It is awesome”…so I got it. I don’t know why I’m giving this review though seeing as my brother Mega plays it far more than I…but whatever here goes nothing. I went into [...] more

Some time ago I wrote my impressions about Sora no Woto based on the first episode and as of last night I have finished the series…below is a somewhat spoileriffic review because chances are that if you’re reading this, you’ve either watched [...] more

Shatter on Steam

It all started with Breakout in 1976 created by Atari and was followed by the cult hit Arkanoid by Taito in 1976. I all the time since then so many clones have been made that it’s just unbelievable, such a simple concept of a game derived from Pong. Now we have Shatter by Sidhe a [...] more
