It’s a wonderful world. Wonderful. And the internet too, that’s great. ‘You’ve got to be in it to win it.’ as a lovely chap named Stephen reminds me on a weekly basis. And how right he is. Which is why I was glad I was ‘in it’, when I got an email announcing I had [...]

Battlefield 3 – if you think MW3 will be better, I’m sorry, but you’re an idiot.
Posted: 31st October 2011 by Age in ReviewsTags: awesomesauce, battlefield 3, DICE, review
I have no plans to write a lengthy review of Battlefield 3. My reasons are two-fold. Firstly, there are plenty of reviews out there already and secondly, I’ve got too much other stuff to do (but that’s another story). However, it would be utterly rude of me if I didn’t at least give some brief [...]
Dead Island (Review) – kick, stab, maul, bosh, whallop
Posted: 21st September 2011 by Age in ReviewsTags: dead island, review, zombies
Ah, zombies, they seem to be all the rage at the moment. We’ve had zombie flick after zombie fick hitting the big (and little) screen and it seems like everyone is cashing in. Games are no different. There have been copious amounts of them over the last few years – Dead Rising, Left 4 Dead, [...]
Deus Ex: Human Revolution (Review)
Posted: 20th September 2011 by Age in ReviewsTags: deus ex, deus ex human revolution, review
Well, it took me a while but it’s probably time I wrote a review of Deus Ex: Human Revolution. The first point to note, something you might gather from the fact that it’s now a few weeks since its launch, is that the game is substantial. In total it took me a healthy 26 hours [...]
So, Battlefield 3 is coming soon and it looks like it’s going to be quite taxing on most PCs. I haven’t upgraded mine in a while and while most of it is still reasonably high end, my old graphics card (a BFG 280gtx) was looking rather dated. So I decided to treat myself to something [...]
Remain calm – DJ Format interview

“If you don’t ask, you don’t get” Was the wise words of a friend yesterday. So true. But sometimes you’ll ask a question and be sure you won’t get a positive answer. ‘Can I have a payrise?’ ‘Will you wear this sexy French maid outfit for me?’ ‘Can I borrow 3 grand to invest in [...]
Duke Nukem: Forever – Nostaligic gaming goodness
Posted: 4th July 2011 by Age in ReviewsTags: duke nukem, gearbox, jon st john, Reviews
Note: Age’s review was missing the graphics after the blog transfer incident. Poor Mr Age worked really hard to get back all the missing graphics, but couldn’t fix these ones. So I replaced them to help him. He’ll thank me when he finds out; I’m sure he will. There’s been an awful lot of negative [...]
Eee Pad Transformer TF101 – It’s the bee’s knees! (see what I did?)
Posted: 28th June 2011 by Age in ReviewsTags: Android, Asus, Eee Pad Transformer, netbook, review
For a while now, I’ve been toying with the idea of getting a Google Chromebook – just for something to play (and write) with on the train. But much to my annoyance, Samsung pushed back the release date of the 3g version until the 1st of August. Which was just rude. Anyway, in the meantime, [...]
I can’t really remember how I first heard about Age of Heroes. I’m pretty sure it was on Twitter. After a little research I learnt that it was a new WW2 film starting Danny Dyer and Sean Bean and based (loosely) around the exploits of 30AU Commando, a British special forces team forced by none [...]
Far Cry 2 – packed full of gaming innovations…
Posted: 6th June 2011 by Age in ReviewsTags: Far Cry 2, fun, Gun jamming, guns, vehicles
I don’t think it’s going too far to say Far Cry 2 is one of the best games I’ve ever played. Yet apart from a few good reviews around the time of release, there wasn’t much of a fuss made over it. Which seems bizarre to me. A few friends have murmured some annoyances with [...]
