Mini Review: Heavy Rain

Argh! So close, yet so far!!! I’ve nearly finished painting Sheryl Nome but disaster struck on the final stretch and I’m not happy with how the hair turned out, so I need to formulate a new plan… It also needs a bit of cleanup around certain areas too… You can check her out here and [...]

Mini Review: Bioshock 2

After suffering the indignity (and inevitability) of the dreaded RROD on my 360 a couple of weeks ago, I have finally got a replacement! Unfortunately, my old machine wasn’t covered by the extended warranty as it was that damn old but on the plus side, I now own a 360 Elite with the only permanent [...]

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?

Ah, it finally arrived!
As a preorder bonus for Bayonetta, one UK store offered a free replica scarborough fair gun to those who preordered the game with them. Having bought the “witch of vigrid” artbook and not being too fussed on the limited OST they provided as part of the “climax edition” of the game, I [...]

Mini Review: Bayonetta

Come back later… Still playing!
What, it’s Wednesday? Oh, all right…

Well, I finally got it. After waiting several weeks after it’s initial intended launch date, Bayonetta was finally released on the first week of 2010! Lord knows why Sega thought that it would sell better on such a dead week compared to going against MW2 (which [...]

Nothing to see here!

Another year, another momotato style roundup! Here we go!!!
Top Shows of 2009!

I really wanted to put in Eden of the East in there as well as I thought that was a great show, but since it didn’t end and we still have to wait for a conclusion, it didn’t feel right to include it. At [...]

Mini Review: Modern Warfare 2

OK, so it’s a bit of a cop-out post this week but I’ve been playing this and borderlands so much since it was released that, to escape it, I locked up my Xbox 360 and relocated myself 200 miles away!!! So I’m in Wales now, where there’s nothing to do except watch TV (which I [...]

Eurogamer Expo 2009

Another year, another chance to play a whole load of video games at the Eurogamer expo, held this time at at Old Billingsgate in Central London!!
Overall, I have to admit that the show this year was not as strong as the last. The whole event was much bigger and there were a fair few good [...]

Mini Review: Uncharted 2 Among Thieves

Been a while since I did one of these, but then there haven’t been many excellent or massively noteworthy titles being released for a while, except maybe Batman: Arkham Asylum, which was (mostly) quite brill. I guess there was Halo 3:ODST but truth be told, I didn’t like it very much, just like most of [...]

Gamescom conferences: sony & microsoft

Thought I would do a quick writeup regarding the announcements made at the former leizpig convention.
The big announcements all came yesterday from Sony but then Microsoft did say that they weren’t going to treat this event in the same way as E3 or TGS. Ninty just snubbed the event, like their gamers.
So, what was there [...]

Mini Review: Fat Princess!!

Bit of a lazy post this week because… well, touhou (Damn you, Meronpan!!!) and this game (mostly this game) have eaten into my time. I have been waiting for this PSN downloadable title since it was announced at E3 last year so I was really hoping that it was worth the wait, esp since it [...]
