Game Dedication
Dedicating myself to one game is something that used to happen a lot as a young boy. It started with Elite, a game made to get lost in through it’s near infinite universe to explore in an endless trek for profit and glory. But even games without such expansive a game world could hold my attention for weeks and months on end. I recall a time even, when at university in the early 1990s, playing…

Star Trek Online
So now that this is Free to Play is anyone trying it? I played the beta long ago, but it was very buggy at the time, often spawning as a ship for away missions which was funny the first time, then quickly a major annoyance so I left it behind and once it went subscription I found little draw to pay. However after downloading the client the other night I’ve now put a couple of…

Dead Island “Completed”
Finally finished my three player play through of Dead Island with Linda and old school mate Woodoggies. Have to say we found the whole thing very enjoyable. The scavenging for parts and in-your-face melee combat worked so well in co-op, creating a real feeling of being a small group surviving the outbreak. I feel it’s very much like Borderlands, a game which only reaches it’s greatness when played with others. We still have a lot…

My Steaming Pile of Shame*
I’ve had enough of this. Both never playing anything and having an ever growing backlog of great games to play on Steam. Thus I took drastic action! I uninstalled all but five unplayed games.

Resident Evil Bubbles Up
This past weekend we had a good sort through our XBOX 360 collection in order to update our Pile of Shame/To Play lists for this site. A few of the games we had borrowed from a good friend some 18 months past and decided to bring these titles to the fore so as to be able to return them to their rightful owner. First amongst these was Resident Evil 5. My personal history with the…

OnLive, not Origin, is the true competitor to Steam
Despite what EA would like you to think with regards to their Origin digital distribution system it isn’t, nor will be, a grand competitor to Steam. Steam has a virtual monopoly on PC games sales, and monopolies are things we are taught to fear, however that is only the case when the system in control is or becomes corrupt, and over exerts it’s reach on what is available and how much it will cost. Valve…

Dead Island 2 : Bank Account 0
So, as an update, we caved in and picked up a second copy of Dead Island. So we’ll soon be able to let you know what we think of it as a co-op game. Our hopes are for a Borderlands style adventure with the quest based gameplay, and we’ll be trying out the alternative combat system also. We picked the game up at BestBuy who are becoming our go to people when it comes to…

Arcade is where the heart is.
After the disappointment of the lack split screen in Dead Island, we found ourselves without a new co-op game to play. So as we have started to do more and more recently we turned to the XBOX Live Arcade for help, in between grabbing levels of Gears of War 2 😉 After trying a few demos which show promise for future purchases, namely Toy Soldiers Cold War and Space Marine Kill Team, we decided on the dungeon…
