Blinded by Nostalgia?
Our relationship with games is at risk: is too much of a good thing really that bad? Back in October I wrote a commemorative piece on Playstation, Sony’s flagship console that was, for many, their first gaming experience. There was the bombardment of platformers where Crash and Spyro were the kings of their genre as well…

Top 25 Albums Of 2015
It’s time. List season. It’s odd how something with such a boring name could cause heated debate amongst many, though that’s nothing new for the internet. So as I’ve always done since 2013, I’ve compiled a list of my favourite albums of the past 12 months, ranging from heavy rock to pop to grime to…

Streaming Music: The Toxic Revolution
Doing anything in the early hours of the morning is difficult; let alone being interviewed after extensive touring of the U.S, battling off the overwhelming exhaustion. This is exactly the challenge facing Eliot Sumner, daughter of the iconic Sting, as she goes through the motions of being interviewed before a question is asked that leaves…

Review: Bring Me The Horizon, O2 Academy, Glasgow – November 24th 2015
2015 is undeniably the biggest year for Sheffield band Bring Me The Horizon, in no small part to their latest album That’s The Spirit which reached number two in the UK album charts after they ditched their old metalcore sound for a less aggressive rock approach. After a dramatic change to the band’s dynamic on…

Captain America: Civil War trailer reaction
It’s been four months since the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase 2 ended with an ironic big bang as Ant-Man managed to make the ridiculously named superhero somehow cool, in no small part to Paul Rudd playing the titular character. We’ve had plenty time since then to reminisce about how all the movies in this…

First week with Fallout 4: A Sorta Review
Foolishly enough, I was planning on reviewing Fallout 4 for some point this week. Obviously not the full game but I hoped to have at least finished the main campaign. Over 20 hours in and I’ve not even scraped the surface of Bethesda’s massive and weirdly beautiful post apocalyptic world so instead of trying to…

Biffy Clyro: Fan Favourites!
Originally posted last December to tie in with their trio of special Barrowland gigs, this post started off as a list of my favourite albums until I thought of something better: asking every other biffy fan for their favourite! Although it was possibly the hardest question any of them could face, there was a great…

Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens final trailer review
I feel like a spoilt child at the moment, like it’s Christmas came early. Last week there was the release of the Star Wars Battlefront Beta, which you can read my thoughts about over here (unsubtle beg), which for a lot of people had them reliving the PS2 days of fighting on Hoth with their…

Star Wars Battlefront Beta impressions
In news that will surprise no one, I love Star Wars. Ever since I was a youngster, lying on the couch watching the original trilogy on VHS, I’ve always had an attatchemnt to George Lucas’ epic saga. That’s what made purchasing the original Star Wars: Battlefront games on PS2 so easy. You have the rebels…

Do’s and Dont’s in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
If you’ve not been paying attention to any gaming news in the past month (if so then where the hell have you been) then you’ll know that Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is pretty much the second coming of Christ. Raking in perfect scores all across the board, it looks like even all…
