Prime Gaming Loot – January 2021

Editor’s Note: A link has been added to detail the five games being added to Prime Gaming in January. You know what they say: New Year, new me. Too bad I am still the same old curmudgeon that hates free-to-play, mobile, and…

Dr Who “The Stolen Earth” & “Journey’s End” – Review

Boof, and the planet is gone. I’m not sure that is what Barry Scott was on about with his useless cleaning product. Either that, or he’s one of those little green men Wilf is on about all the time. The last episode…

Keiran’s Top 3 Games Of 2020

WARNING: The following article may contain links or embedded videos with strong language. Reader’s discretion is advised. This year has been, as I will so often use as the metaphorical subterfuge against our no swearing rule, a play about pieces of feces. From…

Call Of The Sea (XBO) – Review

An adventure game set in the 1930s with a beautiful art-style that balances its dark undertones with rose-tinted idealism of the time? Of course I am into that idea. Call of the Sea is just that, lead by Cissy Jones as Norah…

Art Of Rally (PC) – Review

A few times this year, I’ve covered games that are about rallying, Finland’s national sport. The problem with rallying is that while it is dangerous, it is also very dull. Yes, I am talking of the men (it’s mostly men) sitting in…

Doctor Who “Turn Left” – Review

Oh, there are many lines here I am ready to shout about with anger, “England, for the English,” “Donna Noble, you’re the most important woman in the whole of creation,” and so on. Last time in “Midnight,” we spoke of our human…

Cyberpunk 2077: The Awards To Come

Should games made under duress be awarded “Game of the Year,” “Best Direction,” and so on? Well, in the week ahead of us taking our yearly break, the ever-so energetic Kotaku published a piece criticizing the Game Awards‘ awarding The Last of Us: Part II‘s Directors…

Cyberpunk 2077 Pulled From PS Store

At least Microsoft finally has that launch exclusive that they were looking for the Series X and S. Yeah, it has been a happy launch for CD Projekt Red with their massive dystopian futuristic open-world, and by all accounts, it seems to…

A Fortnight Of Free Games From The Epic Games Store

The final one of these of the year, I couldn’t be happier: Monday, Prime Gaming added Yooka-Laylee‘s 2.5D sequel for members, Alexx spoke of a dark-humored murder mystery from the House Flipper devs, and I showed concern Codemasters might be bought by EA. Tuesday, David spoke of Steam’s latest experiment; All the…

Doctor Who “Midnight” – Review

Midnight, not just the time I am swearing at when trying to grab images for these reviews, but also the name of a planet in an episode I didn’t quite remember watching before. I knew one or two shots but for the…
