I’ve had PS Plus since the service launched, thought I’d do a quick article about some of the absolute gems I’ve picked up off it since it launched. Here’s some of the games I really enjoyed. Rocket League It’s pretty much a given that Psyonix’s fantastic car based sports game would show up in this list, …
First off, I should introduce myself, I’m Andy and this is my first article for Yet Another Review Site, now onto what is hopefully the main reason you clicked the link to this article, Warframe. Warframe is a free-to-play game created by Digital Extremes (Dark Sector,The Darkness II), it’s probably one the best, if not …
As I begin to wind down my involvement with reviewing games and the like, with time becoming more and more difficult to dedicate to it, I wanted to share some honest observations and experiences. The games industry is a strange and possible unique one. Since I started writing in 2006, it has gone from being …
What follows is the first article submitted for my Voice for #Gamergate invitation. I will use the authors twitter name for now (thought I do have permission to use his real name, I want to give him some level of anonymity at this stage). Durakken is a Pro Ethics Gamergater and one of the people …
#GamerGate : What it is to me and its future – Guest Post Read More »
Gamergate has a now long quite complex history that I am not going to attempt to explain here. Search the web, there is loads of stuff out there that will drive you insane trying to unravel. My interest is where Gamergate is now and where it may be going. As I see it, based on …
Gamergate: An invitation to all to be heard and be honest Read More »
There has been a lot on the news of late about games, with GamerGate once again throwing it all into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Now, whilst this has turned into some horrible, sexist and generally ridiculous beast now, one of the first things that made it come to my attention was speaking …
I love Eurogamer Expo. I have been going for a few years and it has always been great fun. I expected this year to be no different. I was half right, in a strange way. On entering the arena, it was a familiar sight. Bright lights, huge stages for Microsoft and Sony, slightly more understated …
One might reasonably argue that Assassin’s Creed and Super Mario Galaxy revolutionised thought processes underpinning the assumptions of what constitutes enjoyable navigation in third person action games. Being able to climb up and around just about any wall or building and navigate between them via parkour elements with Altair was a genuine pleasure for …
Where pure-blood first person shooters are concerned, Alien Rage has exposed my dearth of experience with the genre. Some limited time spent with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 1 and 2, Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Fallout 3 represent my only experiences in this direction and I much prefer the latter thanks to their ability …
If you’re not familiar with Magic: The Gathering, or you are a returning player from yesteryear, then this title is a solid place to start with. Several issues with the title lead me to believe that you’d be better off with the paper form of magic to learn the ins and outs of the game, …

For me, Mario Party was getting a bit long in the tooth back when I added series entry eight to my fledgling Wii games collection. Reskin some mini-games, board concepts and play methods each year and slap a £39.99 price tag onto and Nintendo were golden. So was I really. Trivial were the ideas of …
Right off the bat I can confirm to you that XCOM: Enemy Unknown possesses great potential to frustrate. Frustration need not be a bad thing if it drives your compulsion to forge onward – a fact that Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls exploit in style – but if bugs, glitches or questionable design is the …
