Whether it is a heartfelt piece of my admiration for a particular game or me just venting about something that really annoyed me the other day. The posts in this section are all opinion pieces…for better or for worse.

RECENT GAMES
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
For a franchise that came from humble beginnings and ended up saving Bethesda from bankruptcy, the Elder Scrolls franchise has a long and interesting history. Due to the time span between releases, the games in the franchise differ from each other quite a lot but still manage to have that element of something special. A large open world game where you can do random quests and stuff outside of the…
BioShock
Get ready, for another return to the amazing city of Rapture combined with the aesthetic of Doom! We've got an incredible crossover that will give things a darker twist. Imagine the terror and power of Big Daddy, the iconic protector from the underwater city of Rapture in the BioShock series, unleashed in the demon-infested realms of the DOOM franchise. Brace yourselves, as we present to you an exclusive gallery of…
The Talos Principle
In each of the 3 world buildings, there are doors that are blocked off with wooden planks that prevent you from being able to get inside. There is a portal behind it which clearly makes it somewhere that you can get to, but how? How do you get past doors blocked by wooden planks?

Death Stranding
Death Stranding is the first game from Hideo Kojima's new studio Kojima productions. Since parting ways with Konami in what appeared to be a bitter riff, we have known he is working on a new project, but it was kept under wraps until launch. The game launched to mixed reviews. Some people were very fond of the game and how it tried to do something different. The other side of…
The Elder Scrolls VI
Bethesda has revealed, through a short trailer, that they are working on a sixth entry to the Elder Scrolls franchise. Considering the success and popularity of Skyrim, we can expect people to start going nuts about this game as we start to get some information leaked. What sort of things should we be expecting? I have absolutely no insight here, so take anything you read here as nothing but random…
Fallout 76
"The Order of Mysteries" is a faction questline in Fallout 76 that revolves around a secretive group of female assassins known as the Order of Mysteries. The questline begins when the player finds the body of a woman wearing a tattered dress and a veil. Upon looting her body, the player acquires a holotape and a worn veil, which sets them on the path to discover the Order's headquarters and…
Archer: Danger Phone
Archer is a show that is known for its dry-witted humour and crazy spy scenarios. Any form of a video game based on this franchise would want to at least capture both of these aspects quite well in order to be a good game. While Archer: Danger Phone has captured the humour and vibe of the show, it has very little going for it as a game. In fact, it…

Thoughts On A Talos Principle Spin Off
I have had The Talos Principle on my radar for a while, but I took my sweet ass time to eventually buy it. I guess I felt it would never live up to Portal 2 and wasn't going to be...

Is Fallout 1st Worth It?
Fallout 1st is a supplementary online subscription that will grant Fallout 76 players some additional in-game benefits that standard players do not receive. This would be a less than common subscription model for a game like this where the barrier...

The Time Has Come For Fallout Remastered
For quite a lot of people, myself included, Fallout 3 was the first adventure into the games universe. Hardcore fans of the original games might think it is an abomination, but the game did pretty well and I absolutely loved...
The Monster Cans In Death Stranding Are Ridiculous
Sponsorships and product placement are fairly common these days and for the most part, it isnt a big deal. If Ford want to pay money to have their vehicles used in a movie, who cares? If Sony way to use...
Could The Next Xbox Be A Windows Steam Box?
Over the past few months, Microsoft have been taking a lot of steps to try and push their PC gaming store as a direct competition to Valves Steam platform. This move has angered some gamers and is quite an unusual, but not...
Bioshock 1 Vs Bioshock 2
I have always looked back a lot more positively on Bioshock 1 over Bioshock 2, but it has been a long time since I played both. It was also quite a gap between playing the first Bioshock over the second....
