You’re just another unwelcome visitor.

It’s a damn good thing that LEGO Dimensions isn’t coming out on PC, because it would probably become an obsession of mine very quickly indeed. New Portal game? Check. Awesome LEGO minifigs? Check. COMBINED INTO A SINGLE PROPERTY?! CHECK. Yeah, … Continue reading

No Man’s Build-up

It feels as though I’ve been waiting forever for No Man’s Sky to come out, and although E3 has yielded yet another video of awesomesauce gameplay, there is still no release date to be found anywhere. A lot of people … Continue reading

You’re not in your tower?

Another game that I’ve been monitoring for what feels like forever is Firewatch, a survival/exploration/character drama game that has a gorgeous visual style and an eerie atmosphere. Everything I’d seen from this game until had been pretty quiet and low-tension, … Continue reading
