Ah, Hitman, welcome back, it’s been far too long. Hitman Absolution is the newest Hitman game and the 5th in the series. It’s been 6 long years since the last installment (Blood Money) but from what I’ve seen so far it has been well worth the wait. Hitman, for those that don’t know, is basically [...]

Dishonoured TL;DR Review
Posted: 29th October 2012 by By Adrian Willings in ReviewsTags: dishonored, review, Tl;Dr review
My initial TL;DR Review of Dishonoured is one of mixed emotions. Despite being a new PC game, it’s graphically disappointing. The character models just aren’t up to scratch. The environment on the other hand is pretty cool. One of my first thoughts was that this game feels a lot like Thief. And that’s a good [...]
Sleeping Dogs TL;DR Review
Posted: 29th October 2012 by By Adrian Willings in ReviewsTags: review, sleeping Dogs, Tl;Dr review
Sleeping Dogs is another GTA clone. Except you’re an undercover cop in Hong Kong and, as you’d expect, you’re a bit handy when it comes to kicking ass hand-to-hand style. I’ve played this on both PS3 and PC and my initial TL;DR thoughts are it’s substantially better looking on PC. Somehow the combat feels better [...]
Medal of Honor Warfighter TL;DR Review
Posted: 29th October 2012 by By Adrian Willings in ReviewsTags: medal of honor, review, Tl;Dr review
Initial thoughts of Medal of Honor Warfighter: It’s better than the previous Medal of Honor release. Built with the Frostbite 2 engine (ala Battlefield 3) it feels more refined than the last game. The single player suffers from being traditionally corridor based and linear, but manages to remain intense, interesting and pretty. The AI of [...]
Now I’m a Dad, there’s just not as much time (or energy) to write full game reviews like I used to, so now I’m going to write TL;DR* style game reviews. I’ll call them just that too. *TL;DR = too long, didn’t read. So these reviews will be perfect for fellow gamers with a low [...]
DJ Format – Statement of Intent – it’s here!
Posted: 23rd February 2012 by By Adrian Willings in Ramblings, ReviewsTags: DJ Format
Feels like a lifetime ago when I first heard a DJ Format song on DJ Yoda’s ‘How to cut and paste’ CD. Then I discovered the magic of Format’s ‘Music for the mature B-boy’ followed by ‘If you can’t join ‘em…beat ‘em’ and was in awe of the dope mixture of beats which I continue [...]
Galaxy Nexus and Android Apps
Posted: 7th February 2012 by By Adrian Willings in Interesting Discoveries, ReviewsTags: Android apps
I thought I’d write a list of my favourite Android apps since I’ve got my Galaxy Nexus. I won’t write about them. Just try them, they’re great: Space Cat Air Attack Angry Birds Angry Birds Rio Angry Birds Seasons Dizzy Prince of the Yolk Folk Flashlight GN Checker Galaxy Nexus LED Glow Hockey Chrome to [...]
Samsung Galaxy Nexus – Winning Like Charlie Sheen
Posted: 6th February 2012 by By Adrian Willings in ReviewsTags: Samsung Galaxy Nexus
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 By Adrian Willings 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 By Adrian Willings 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, [...]
