Need For Speed Heat PC Review

Posted on: 28 Nov 2019

I was one of the idiots that actually bought Need for Speed 2015. It was only because so many reviews I read or watched failed to mention most of this game’s very serious problems.

Spring has arrived in my village. Birds are chirping, flowers are everywhere, and cafés are packed with customers sipping beers in complete absorption of the Rugby World Cup. Meanwhile, I am locked away in my apartment from the both the frivolities of sports fans and the beauty of nature while the sounds of gunfire and … Continue reading Gears 5 – Campaign Review →

Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey – Review

Posted on: 08 Sep 2019

I never understood why people would say that a game “won them over”, or that someone hated a game when they started playing, but then grew to love it. I am more much more binary when it comes to my opinion of what I play. Either I like something or I don’t, and it has … Continue reading Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey – Review →

In hindsight, 2009 turned out to be a great year for gaming.
