Doom (2016) This month I finally got around to picking up Doom for the PS4 after playing the demo. Hard to believe that I left it for so long; I’ve had heaps of fun, loving the simple run an gun format, and exploring the maps Bethesda have put together so well.

I found I couldn’t migrate Win7 easily off a partition on a 2TB HD to the…

I’ve just had a revelation! Dark Souls is just like Elite:Dangerous, except you exchange credits for souls Might sound a simple concept, but it’s quite profound to me ATM, and the key to a compelling game π
