So I’ve been playing the game for around a week now.   With my buddy key expired, I’ve gone straight out and bought the collector’s edition from Steam (since I figured a download retailer was the quickest way to a new key to get me back into the game).  I opted to pay the extra [...]

I’ve followed the development of this game for a while.  Regular readers will know that I do like:
a) Star Trek
and
b) MMOs
so really, Star Trek Online was a no-brainer for me.
Sadly, then the minimum specs came out, and I realised my PC was very much scraping the bottom of the barrel and may not run it [...]

I love the Metal Gear Solid games.  Metal Gear Solid was one of the first games I bought with my PS1, and after holding out on the PS2 for over a year, the release of MGS2 had me running out to the local branch of Game.  So now I’ve finally got a PS3, MGS4 was [...]

Originally I really wasn’t going to get Modern Warfare 2.
Initially I was put off by the RRP.  £55 is a heck of a lot of money for one game.  Thankfully most places are selling it for more normal prices.
However when the footage of the now-infamous airport level was released, I was really put off.  In [...]

At Christmas I finally joined the next gen gaming crowd, by getting a Playstation 3.
Over the last few years my gaming has been largely PC-based, although I did get a Nintendo Wii when they were released, so this console’s been interesting to play around with properly.   The advantage of coming to the console fairly [...]

Despite continually distracting myself with other models, I’m slowly coming to the end of the Black Reach kit.  The second last Space Marine unit I’ve completed being the Dreadnought.
It was an interesting experience painting this model up.  For most of the painting, I wasn’t actually happy with how it was turning out at all.  The [...]

After the kicking my poor Tau took from the Tyrannids last weekend, I decided two things were needed.
First up.  Bigger guns.
I’d had my eye on the Tau for a while due to the cool look of the Firewarriors and Crisis suits, and in particular the Broadside Heavy Support version of the Crisis suit always stood [...]

With the Assault on Black Reach set, and the extra bits and pieces I’d been buying, I’ve been painting quite a few Marines and Orks since I started collecting Warhammer. So I decided it was time to pick up something a bit different for a change, and to give me some variety in my [...]

Just a quick heads up that to celebrate the one year anniversary of their game World of Goo, 2d Boy games are currently offering the game as a non-DRM’d download in return for however much you feel is fair to pay them.
The game is for multiple platforms, including Linux, and having played the demo I [...]

When it comes to Space Hulk, I established two things this weekend:

I suck at Space Hulk
Space Hulk rocks

I got the chance to break in my set, and me and a friend sat down for a good couple of hours of gaming.  With both of us having read about the game extensively in White Dwarf a [...]
