Hard to the retail Core - The 100% achievement...
I’m not what you would call an ‘Achievement Junkie’, when I buy a new game my first thought is to play the game and enjoy the experience. If i’m playing a new game and an achievement pops up during gameplay i’ll shelve this fact happily at the back of my mind and continue enjoying the game. There are some games however, that sink their teeth into me so strongly that...

Mass Effect 3 - showing how achievements should be...
The Achievement/Trophy list for Mass Effect 3 was released very recently. Countless people looked at them for spoilers and various other bits of information. Luckily there are no spoilers, some hints, but nothing that gives away pivotal moments or storylines. This is the first in the Mass Effect franchise that contains a multiplayer mode. Something which I was worried about because i’m...

Kingdoms of Amalur...my body is ready
Okay so it isn’t very long now until Kingdoms of Amalur:Reckoning is released. I have been following this ever since .38 Studios was founded. Currently the first wave of reviews are in and it seems that it is doing really well. IGN gave it an overall of 9.0. Click here for the review. I played some of the demo (which in no way had anything to do with the Mass Effect 3 swag you get for the...

Garrus and his happy armor
I never noticed this before. Now whenever I stand in an elevator with Garrus in my crew, it is all I ever see.

Preparing for Mass Effect 3
So Mass Effect 3 is almost upon us so I thought i’d start again from the beginning. I’m currently working my way through the first game and as soon as I took my first elevator ride, it reminded me of a Penny Arcade strip.

Top 90 videos under 30 seconds long. →
This is outstanding. Reddit had a post which completely snowballed recently. It pulled in the best user-submitted funny clips on the internet which were below 30 seconds long. One legendary Redditor threw them all together into one frakking glorious playlist.

Saving the Final Fantasy franchise - Part 1
I used to be a huge fan of the Final Fantasy series. Like alot of European gamers, I started with FF7 and was instantly wowed by the elaborate (if badly translated - “Sh’it!”) storyline, characters and excellent FMV cut-scenes. Okay so by today’s standards they don’t look great, but at the time, it was jaw dropping. I carried on playing and enjoying the next...

Looks like David Gaider has found out about Den...
iffymoo: maybethings: This morning, it tastes of schadenfreude. Found this amazing synopsis which I read out loud to my extremely horrified bf: The Kingdom of Frewyn is being invaded by the Galleisian infantry and at the forefront of the battle is Boudicca MacDaede, a First Captain in the Frewyn armed forces. Her regiment is charged with defending the borders between the two ...
