Total Annihilation (PC) – Review

Arguably, there are better real-time strategy games out there, and there always will be. However, I don’t just want to talk about Total Annihilation from that point of view, one that it is somehow soon to be 25-years-old and has been bettered many times…

Keiran’s Reads of 2021

You may have heard through the grapevine that I’ve spent more time this year reading. To some, that is like finding out there is a breeze outside their window, it leaves them nonplussed about the whole affair. I’ve already done the article…

Doctor Who “Deep Breath” – Review

To his best effort, Steven Moffat did try to keep up with his own pace in the first episode, retraining that energy while transitioning into the more pragmatic Doctor. However, despite his best efforts, Peter Capaldi is not an instantly likable figure.…

Dyslexia: Setting A Goal & Achieving It

This year, I set myself a goal. If it wasn’t apparent enough through reviews and editorials, the title here today should tell you that it was to do with reading/books. To some, it was a goal that pales in comparison to their…

Hitman 2 (Xbox) – Review

I’ve been a vocal detractor of the Hitman reboots the same way I have been a detractor of the Tomb Raider reboots: the first one is godawful, and the second makes a marked improvement. That kids, is how to give the game away early…

Unpacking (PC) – Review

There were two points, both very early on, where I had involuntary reactions to Unpacking, and it shows exactly why something so uncomplicated can be explosive. In Unpacking, you play as a young woman as she unpacks her life, doing so at different moments…

CD Projekt Settle Cyberpunk 2077’s Class Action Case

Could someone please for the love of all that is not-so-silent and not-so-holy, for the next two weeks, just not have a court case conclude right before we go on our break. Technically this court case isn’t actually over, there will be…

Shenmue III Is Free On Epic

Monday, Halo Infinite‘s PC release was a bit crap, and Sniper Elite 5 was announced. Tuesday, Game Pass will have Weird West, Redout 2 is Wipeout and not the crap gameshow hosted by an ex-Top Gear presenter, and Xbox admits to screw-ups in a new documentary. Wednesday, if you want…

Doctor Who “Time of the Doctor” – Review

Oh, if I was allowed to go space church, I’d be worshiping on my knees every day. If you create a church where everyone has to show up naked, you are going to attract perverts. Anyway, Christmas! No, not that thing that…

Sims-Like Paralives Shows off Creation Suite

Say what you will about The Sims 4, its countless expansions and remedial updates to fix some of the issues we all had on its launch several years ago haven’t entirely fixed the game. Instead, we’ve seen the emergence of the Sims-like. This would…
