The apparent issue of video games and violence

If newspapers are anything to go by, games will rot your brain, make you fat and lazy, give you cancer and make you want to kill people. Now we as gamers know that this is simply hysteria, but it seems that the idea that video games could alter your mental state that much is becoming much more mainstream. In recent incidents such as school shootings, the fact that the perpetrator owned video games seems much more significant than...

An overshadowed RTS: Battle Realms

Battle Realms is an RTS for PC, set in a fictional feudal Japan where four warring clans vie for dominance. Each clan has it's own unique set of units ranging from deadly dual sword wielding Ronin, to the lotus clans crow spewing hag. The real treat with Battle Realms is the single player campaign. It follows the hero Kenji, based off your actions in the first mission will determine whether you join...

Durr's new addiction: Xcom

This is something I have meaning to write about for some time, but for what ever reasons I have been putting off doing any writing for nearly a month. This afternoon I decided to pull my finger out my ass and crack on with writing about a game I enjoyed beyond belief. Xcom at it's heart is a turn based strategy game, it uses a system which could easily be done with pen paper, tape measure and dice (warhammer style).  So...

Durr Plays XCOM: Enemy Unknown

Well I had disappeared for a few weeks mainly due to having an operation and dealing with the shittyness that is Christmas and avoiding people like the plague! But one of the main culprits was XCOM a single player game. A single player game hasn't gripped me and sucked me in like XCOM in a long time. In the video below I am trying to begin a 'Classic Ironman' campaign. In this mode the difficulty is severely stepped...

Bioshock Infinite   Release Date: 26 March 2013 Platform(s): Playstation 3, Xbox 360, PC The next instalment of the Bioshock series, which has already been the subject of much controversy due to the covers art work (seriously, get over it). The game takes a whole new direction and is set in 1912, where you control former Pinkerton agent Booker DeWitt. You are sent to the flying city of Columbia to rescue Elizabeth, who...

My Game of The Year 2012

    This year has been a rather disappointing year for gaming, and up until recently, Mass Effect 3 had my vote for GOTY. However, after picking up The Walking Dead for £10 on Steam – I have never found a game more deserving of this title. The Walking Dead is a point and click adventure game, which in theory really shouldn’t work – but somehow Telltale Games have managed to form a masterpiece. It has been a while since a game...
