So I finally decided to do all the Guardian stuff in Elite Dangerous. It was released back in August last year, but at the time it wasn’t a going concern of mine. But recently I got an itch to explore outside the human bubble of space and maybe get my name on a planet. Guardian…
So I jumped in on day 1 of the Microsoft launch of Halo: Reach and grabbed some shots. I played through the first couple missions with seasoned veteran friends on Legendary and it was a ton of fun. We did a bunch of Multiplayer deathmatch as well, which is a refreshing change from all the…
Playstation NZ is giving away more than 80 Dualshock 4 controllers this week but there’s a slight catch. Over the week, PlayStation will be placing street posters around Auckland’s CBD each containing six controllers for the taking. Every hour from 8am – 1pm between 17 – 23 November, a code will be released on the…
I picked up Goat of Duty on a lark the other day for like $2, and honestly I’m pretty stoked with what I received. What I expected was a broken buggy joke game from the makers of Goat MMO, but instead I got a solid running reskinned version of Quake with modern graphics from a…
The yearly cadence of Call of Duty releases continues with a brave reboot to the game that put the series on the map. It’s also a game close to my heart so I’m both excited and apprehensive to dive in but dive in I shall. Twelve years minus eleven days after the original released, I’m…

After seven years of waiting, fans of memes, cartoony graphics, looting and shooting can indulge themselves once more. Borderlands 3 is here and – spoiler alert – it’s worth the wait. Unfortunately I never had the chance to play The Pre-Sequel and, since it’s not a Gearbox entry into the series, I won’t include it…
I’ve had a pet project on the back burner for a couple years now, and by that I mean most of a decade. Because at this age, anything that happened “just the other day” happened an entire lifetime ago. It’s an RPG based on my Blobby World, a whimsical place where little cube people speak…
After a rocky VIP weekend and following open beta, Anthem is out in full. Here’s the quick and dirty of it all. When the betas finished, I reached out to EA to see what state the game was in when we got our shot at it. I read somewhere a while back that one beta…
I’ll kick this review off by admitting I am a massive Spiderman fan. Like so many before me, I was suckered in by Peter Parker’s relatability, his clear flaws but his constant desire to do good. A drive to change the world for the better and how persistently he is challenged in his quest, how…
