Summer Games Fest Thoughts and Ramblings
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…

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…
With Friends Like These… – Borderlands 2
When it came to starting this blog, I knew from the beginning that I wanted to make it social, as much as I could. One of the things I love most is sharing my passions with other people, anyone who’s had more than one conversation with me has probably heard me rave about some of…
Switch 2 Initial Impressions and Ramblings
Switching To A New Generation After 8 years, the Nintendo Switch has finally gone up to the console heaven in the sky. On June 5th, I went to my local store and picked up a Nintendo Switch 2 at midnight and rushed home to set it up! First things first, this thing is hefty. It’s…
