DayZ isn’t technically a game, it’s a mod. But it has got a lot of attention in its own right and seems to be quite popular. In order to play DayZ you need Arma2 Combined Operations. And the patience of a saint. A friend encouraged me to try it with him and since I’d heard [...]

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 [...]
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, [...]
Deus Ex: Human Revolution (Review)
Posted: 20th September 2011 by By Adrian Willings 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 [...]
Eee Pad Transformer TF101 – It’s the bee’s knees! (see what I did?)
Posted: 28th June 2011 by By Adrian Willings 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, [...]
Mafia II (Review)
Posted: 10th January 2011 by By Adrian Willings in ReviewsTags: gamer, gta, mafia II, review
A good friend bought me Mafia II as a surprise gift the other week when it was a mere £5 on Steam. It was certainly a welcome treat. I had played the demo and was honestly underwhelmed by it. Mediocre at best. Which was rather a shame because I had high-hopes after hearing various pre-launch [...]
Watchmen (Review)
Posted: 10th January 2011 by By Adrian Willings in ReviewsTags: film, review, the watchmen
Watchmen is another in a long-line of films derived from comic books, but this isn’t another Iron Man or Hulk, Watchmen is far more similar to Frank Miller’s Sin City. Yes, Watchmen is gritty and unexpected. I didn’t read the comic, so I didn’t know what to expect and I’m sure fanboys would bemoan its [...]
