2018 was an intense year personally We moved house and renovated the new place substantially. For a month or so we were living out of a single room, no kitchen or bathroom, and boarded up windows. The place is awesome now, although still a few more things we would like to update, but that can be done over time. We have fibre! 900 MB download speed, this has changed my…
While playing Red Dead Redemption 2 Online on the PS4 I entered the stable in Saint Dennis looking to see how viable an equine upgrade was, to find to my shock and glee that the Red Chestnut Arabian horse was free! Not wanting to part with Nag, my starting racehorse [for some strange reason beyond my comprehension?] I shelled over $100 in game dollars to free up another stable, and…

Over the past 2 days I’ve ticked off Colossi 11 to 16, then had the pleasure of watching the end story and the credits roll, and see how Shadow of the Colossus is the spiritual predecessor to Ico. Never have I taken as many screenshots… except maybe Final Fantasy XV. Only this time I didn’t want to share them on Twitter as I was scared of spoiling the game for…

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. As I was late to the party the update was huge, 30 odd gig iirc, but kudos to Bethesda…

On the same day, Frontier is also putting out a physical Elite Dangerous: Legendary Edition for Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Considering that package contains the…

Journey is coming free to PS4 PS Plus members in September, w00t π Together with Lords of the Fallen; from what I’ve read is Dark Souls like… not sure how to take this as I’ve yet to get far in a Dark Souls title, due to lack of time and ‘git gud’ ability… must revisit DS3 & Bloodborne Awesome! Journey has shown up for free in the Playstation store today…

I’ve been a fan of batman since my teen days, and have enjoyed each of the new video game series, so was stoked to pick up Batman Arkham Knight on the PS4. I wasn’t happy about seeing the ‘season pack’ for sale for ~$70! Guess the Call of Duty business model is working? First impressions Frame rate seems a little too fast, the moment in combat is somewhat lost Batmobile…

One of the great features of the PS4 is the new Joypad, it’s more ergonomic, and the touch pad is a work of design genius. So I was stoked to find out it could be used on the PC by following this simple guide from Make Use Of – how to use the ps4 controller on your mac or pc Now I can ditch my old Hori xbox pad for…

Bloodborne’s difficulty is a refreshing change in platform open world titles, a challenge that I am enjoying after months of Elite:Dangerous. It is not that each individual encounter is hard; far from it, it is quite easy to take down a single foe. Although when this difficulty is compounded by ever enemy that you face, as the ‘save’ points as few and far between, does it become a true challenge.…
