Greedfall – A Video Game Review
Greedfall dropped on to the market with surprisingly little fan fare, this is probably because it isn’t one of the AAA games. As a casual gamer I had never heard of the developers and to be fair the promotional material didn’t particularly grab me. I only downloaded it because I had a gap between completing...

The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt – A Game Review
With the upcoming series of the Witcher coming to Netflix starring Henry Cavill I decided I needed to gen up on an IP I know little about. I once attempted Witcher 2 but only got a very short way into the game, for some reason it never grabbed me. This is odd. Fantasy is very... Continue Reading →

What Star Trek needs is a good video game.
