The first week of June always feels like Christmas to those of us who love to play games. E3 always brought magic to our screens, or in some cases, complete and utter cringe. But we loved it anyway, everyone has their favourite E3 moment. For some it will be the Peggle 2 announcement, others will…
Nintendo Switch 2 – One Year On
As of the day this post will go live, the Nintendo Switch 2 is now one year old. Time really does fly when you’re having fun, doesn’t it? Like many, I did pick up the Switch 2 on release night, and helped to crash the eShop servers downloading Mario Kart World. I shared my initial…
Squashy’s Summary – May 2026
What did she wear? She wore a yellow ribbon in the merry month of May! I know this is a games blog, but I had to get that little Arsenal reference in there somewhere! This year genuinely seems to be flying by, and here we are again, at the end of May. Next month, I’ll…
Squashy’s Summary – April 2026
Well, April came and went quite quickly, didn’t it? Remember when I said at the end of the last blog that this one would be stacked? I was half right. I ended up picking up a LOT of stuff this month, but in terms of actual games I’ve played? I haven’t completed ANY. I’ve played…
Squashy’s Summary – March 2026
Another day, another end of the month blog post. I don’t know about anyone else but it feels like March went on forever. Having said that, I really didn’t play too many games this month, and there is a bit of a theme for the games I did play. On that note, let’s jump straight…
Squashy’s Summary – February 2026
Well, we’re already at the end of another month. Two down, ten to go. February has flown by for me, between starting a new job and trying to tackle the backlog, it’s been a whirlwind! Still, I did manage to find the time to type this up, and play some games. So, without any further…
Squashy’s Summary – January 2026
Another day, another series for this blog! This series I’m calling “Squashy’s Summary”, and it’s a place where I’m going to talk about any games I’ve been playing, any games I’ve picked up, any gaming news or drama that’s really caught my attention, and basically anything I feel like yapping about! Going into 2026, I…
Halo: Campaign Evolved Thoughts
As I write this, it’s been about a day since the reveal of the Halo: Combat Evolved remake at the Halo World Championships 2025. Often regarded as the worst-kept secret in gaming, the Halo community has spent the last year debating endlessly on whether this is a good idea, all across social media. When rumours…
Where Have I Been? What’s Next?
At the end of my last post, I said that I hoped not to be gone as long next time. That has gone down like a lead balloon, and here I am nearly 3 months later writing the next post. Once again, I do apologise for the massive gap between posts, these past couple of…
Three Franchises I’d Resurrect
Well, it has been a while, hasn’t it? I didn’t imagine it would be around a month between blog posts, but late June/early July was a busy one for me! From the highs of seeing Sabrina Carpenter, to the lows of having a severe chest infection, it’s certainly been a whirlwind. Couple that with a…
