Posted on June 2, 2015 by Gill

I feel like Portal is one of those franchises that could go on forever, if Valve could be bothered to make more content for it. Thankfully, with the release of Portal 2, fans were given a sweet level editor to … Continue reading →

Into the Abyss

Posted on June 1, 2015 by Gill

I completely fell in love with The Banner Saga when it came out. Turn-based tactical combat, an engaging world and story inspired by Norse mythology, and above all, beautifully rendered, 2-D animated characters. It was Oregon Trail meets X-COM. I … Continue reading →

There is no exit.

I quite like the idea of an open-world, Fallout 3-style Mad Max video game, but now that I’ve seen Mad Max: Fury Road, I’m suddenly way more excited for this. The game itself looks like a pretty good time, but … Continue reading →

Turn the thing off, for heaven’s sake!

Posted on April 29, 2015 by Gill

I recently stumbled upon this video clip from the The Lost World: Jurassic Park video game for Playstation. This was apparently one of the most rare unlockables in the game, as it basically required you to collect every collectable item. … Continue reading →
