The Zone Diaries Episode 1 | MOUSE n JOYPAD
 Episode 1 Customer Support As you will surely notice when you start reading this text, it differs from what I described in the intro last week. After a couple of rewrites I decided to ditch the original idea because it didn’t work as expected. Describing firefights gets really stale really fast, however unbeliveable that might sound. Besides, this will ...[Read More]
Trevor Holland’s ‘This is Your Game’ Niko Bellic
In this, the second instalment of This is Your Game, I’ll be discussing the gaming career of one Mr Niko Bellic, star of Grand Theft Auto IV. Any fan of the work of Rockstar Games will know the extent of their talents, particularly in the fields of character development, story-telling and satirical humour. However, these all reached a new peak with the release of GTA IV. For the first time, player...[Read More]
Wargame Red Dragon Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Wargame Red Dragon Review  In recent years, there has been a serious lack of good strategy games for us to sink our teeth into. It seems as if the genre is being overlooked in spite of its rich history and pedigree, giving place to mindless shooters that simply sell more. That’s not to say that there aren’t any good strategies, of course. There’s Total War, Company of Heroes, Warhammer and ...[Read More]
TREVOR HOLLAND’S ‘THIS IS YOUR GAME’
In this, the first instalment of This is Your Game, I’m exploring the life of one of the most popular and charismatic gaming personalities of all time, Ezio Auditore da Firenze. The Assassins Creed games have become some of the most iconic and unique in history, particularly those that involve Ezio as the protagonist. It’s no coincidence that Ezio was given three games for his story to be told, wh...[Read More]
The five games I’m most looking forward to
Let’s start off with one of the most hyped up cross platform games there has been in recent years, Watch Dogs, I’m both looking forward to and wary of Ubisoft’s open world adventure set in a near future Chicago. The game puts you in control of Aiden Peirce a skilled hacker with a troubled past who is out for vengeance due to losing his family.

Life Goes On Review – MOUSE n JOYPAD
Life Goes On Review  Life Goes On has a name seems somewhat unfortunate, should you ask me. Knight Murder Simulator might be the better title, for the one it currently has nearly made me skip the game. You know how it is – with all the indies currently being thrown around on Steam, it’s all too easy to start judging games by their names. Thankfully, Life Goes On ended up in my paws, disregar...[Read More]
Tickles Top 10 Gaming Adverts
I was talking to a friend of mine regarding the advert for The Elder Scrolls Online recently and from there we began discussing other gaming adverts or trailers that really hit us where we live. I decided I would make a list of my top ten favourite trailers. Let me be clear. This list is for the advert only and how good or bad the game turned out to be hasn’t been factored into this. So here’s my ...[Read More]
LEGO THE HOBBIT REVIEW
LEGO The Hobbit follows Bilbo’s story to the end of the second movie, with DLC probably handling the last movie, but as yet is unconfirmed. The LEGO games have covered the story of Lord Of The Rings and this is a natural progression for the series. Unless you have been off planet Earth, it’s hard not to know about either of these connected stories. The stories have taken the same route to our scre...[Read More]
Infinity Wars Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Infinity Wars Review   I have to admit that I installed Infinity Wars without expecting too much of it. With two high profile TCG games already on Steam (Duels of Champions, Magic: The Gathering), it’s hard to imagine how a brand new game could ever compete with these leviathans. As it turns out, Infinity Wars does many things as good as these franchises do, and some even better. Every good TC...[Read More]
Windforge Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Windforge Review   I’ve been excited about Windforge ever since I saw a gameplay trailer last year, with the player building his own airship, hunting flying whales (!) and skirmishing against steampunk pirates. It looked as if it’s going to blow every other similar game out of the water once it comes out. Except maybe Starbound, but that’s a whole different story. Windforge promised to tak...[Read More]
MOEBIUS: EMPIRE RISING REVIEW
Moebius: Empire Rising is the latest game from Jane Jenson, most notably known for the Gabriel Knight series (of which this is a spiritual successor). This latest project is the result of a Kickstarter campaign that raised over $400,000. With so many point and click adventure games hitting the indie scene these days, can Moebius stand out? Malachi Rector is a very successful antique dealer who spe...[Read More]
