And time for my very last blog post of 2012, in which I sit down and look onwards to the next twelve months of gaming, and talk about which games have caught my eye. So, let’s end on a pleasant note and talk about these interesting and exciting games that have so many hoping 2013 […]

And so we come to the zenith of a yearly awards scheme, when we rejoice in the fantastic games which we have enjoyed throughout the year. For all the horridness that this year has brought us, arguably it has also brought with it some of the best games in years, and today I reward some […]

It’s time for day two of my actual “awards”, and today it is time for me to focus on the most disappointing games of the year. Not so much terrible and bad, though they might be, but games that had the opportunity to do some truly great things. And then failed in the process. Time […]

In the run-up to my end of year “awards ceremony”, I’ve decided to do a few articles in the run-up to my best (and worst) games of the year. In this, today I am going to focus on five news snippets that truly made the gaming world look pretty awful. Something tells me that Lara […]
