For nearly two years Watch Dogs has been billed as the “true next generation game”. I’m just going to say right now, it doesn’t come close to what I expect from a true next-gen game. I’ve made it quite clear in some of my previous posts that I don’t feel inspired by the next generation of games and I am waiting for the next big thing. Watch Dogs is not the next big thing so I will continue to…

In my earlier post (WWE Smackdown – My First Live WWE Event (May 20, 2014)) I gave a rundown of what I was expecting from my first WWE event and a list of billed matches. In this post, I’ll be talking about the results and my experience.

Let me start from the beginning. My wife and I had been walking around London all day and when we got back to the hotel to get ready to go to the O2 arena, we…

Astro A40 Audio System (2013 Edition) Review

With the release of the Xbox One Headset Adapter, the time had come for me to purchase a new gaming headset. I didn’t really want to spend over £100 and after quite a few hours reading technical specifications, reviews, and watching demonstration videos on Youtube, I was torn. My choice was between the Astro A40 Audio System (with MixAmp)at £199.99, which would mean an overspend of £100 and a…

YouTube: First Videos – Trials Fusion Gameplay

If someone ever tells you that they found this whole YouTube thing easy and they took to it immediately, they’re likely to be bending the truth a little bit. I just want to give you a bit of background on my YouTube experience so far.

Around September 2013, I walked into Curry’s (electronics store) and picked up a Hauppauge HD PVR 2, thinking to myself yeah this is gonna be easy, I never shut up…

Finally, something to be excited about. Since the launch of the next-gen consoles, my motivation to even turn on my console (Xbox One) has been virtually non-existent. When I think of how often I played on my Xbox 360, at that point, you could probably call me a video game addict. In November 2011, I didn’t know what to play next. There were so many brilliant new games waiting to be played;…

DC Chess: Episode 1 (Batman) – Photo Remix

I’ve been a huge Batman fan ever since I was three years old. I seen Batman (1989) and was immediately hooked. From then on I collected a number of Batman action figures which, regrettably, were sold at a car boot sale when I had “outgrown them”. One day last year I was thinking about the toys I played with when I was a child and at the front of my mind was my Batman figures. I decided to look for…

In the wake of Martin O’Donnell being fired from Bungie (or mutually leaving, take your pick), it got me thinking about tracks that have added to my gaming experience the most. We’ve all had a gaming moment where we’ve thought “that wouldn’t be the same without the music”, right? I have compiled a list of my top 10 favourite tracks from the last generation of games and the reasons they meant so…
