Music Monday: Wolfenstein: The New Order
I got the platinum on Wolfenstein: The New Order! I know, it’s not the hardest to earn in the history of PlayStation Trophies but it’s my only plat apart from season one of Telltale’s The […]
Puppeteer
The previous generation of game consoles followed an interesting arc. Introduced as serious, realistic, and “gritty” action games were nearing the height of their popularity, it was a common observation and complaint that, for all […]

“Oh God, I hope that’s not a hostage!” Darren Gargette endures the aged graphics and dodgy voice samples to give us a Quick Rinse of Probe Entertainment’s Die Hard Trilogy. Originally released last century (1996) […]
My first death: a Dark Souls tale (Ages 16+)
I stand in front of the imposing edifice that houses Anor Londo’s equally daunting Dragon Slayer Ornstein and Executioner Smough, and I am lost in its beauty. It’s a curious facet of Lordran that the […]
