Enjoy writing, gaming, movies and reading fiction. Also like playing golf. Live in Queensland. Happily married.
We share the house with Chad and Shadow (the dog the cat).
I was driving home from work the other day and started thinking about the games I regretted buying at launch and why. This is not going to be an exhaustive piece on the evils of large publishing houses, but I am genuinely questioning why games still seem to be […]
Sony can sometimes be a bit contentious with some of the decisions made (cross-play, or lack of). One thing they definitely have right; the continual support they are providing Gran Turismo Sport. You could argue Sony is making up for the fact that the game was missing a […]
I have to admit, this is an inspired bit of casting. I hope Sony and Naughty Dog take note and cast Nathan Fillion for real. Early reports have Tom Holland slated in the role for the official Uncharted film. I think Tom Holland would make a great younger Drake, […]
Not long ago my wife Kit had some issues with her microphone not working with Discord. Kit plays World of Warcraft and Discord is the “go to” chat program for the popular MMO, as well as other games. As with most technical issues, the first part is isolating […]
I picked up the Gold edition of The Crew 2 and have played about 20 hours of it so far. Looking at various gaming feeds it seems to be getting mixed reviews elsewhere so I thought I’d also provide my take on the sequel to The Crew. Starting up first […]
I really have to thank a online gaming mate for suggesting I buy one of these. This amazing little device not only has a battery pack, but many features I simply wasn’t expecting to see in such a handy little adapter. I’ve always wanted to use an Xbox […]
If you want to get a good taste of what is to come with next week’s release of The Crew 2, you can download the open beta on PC, XB1 and PS4 now. The beta runs for another couple of days at least. Sizes vary but it is […]
Another year, another E3 wraps up. I have watched most of the press conferences, but won’t be commenting on the Nintendo side of things, because I’ve never owned a Nintendo device (apart from a Game’N’Watch). There was a lot of gaming goodness shown, and I’m really excited for a […]
I’ll be honest, I normally wouldn’t watch the PC Gaming Show. Since the PS2 / original Xbox days, I have migrated across from PC to console for gaming. I do still play the odd RTS, or strategy game on PC, but these days I mostly game on the […]
For the first few minutes I thought I was watching the wrong show. Ubisoft started with a large musical number outside, with choreographed dancers and a large circus like band. They played and danced their way through the streets, until arriving at the venue, and made their way […]
