It’s time to a take a break from the over bearing responsibilities of working in the big city, and instead apply yourself to slave labour in a back-water town, completing drug runs, covering for your parents who’ve bailed town for masterminding an illegal gambling ring.

A reboot for the Saint’s Row branding, but you won’t find no 3-foot purple Saint’s fleur branded floppy dildo bats in this 2020’s woke version; a more civilised experience for all varieties of cowgirls, cowboys and cowtrans.

Now this is a trip down memory lane. My first ever game on the PS2, rereleased on the PS4. Back on the PS2, I didn’t originally have a memory card, so remember having to leave the PS2 on overnight to save my progress in the campaign. Thank god I’m no longer poor.

Not a boast, just a fact that I’ve owned a disc edition PS5 for awhile now at retail price. So get over it already, just cos you’re all stuck on 8 year old PS Four/Poor garbage (FYI, I have only a mattress and TV on the floor of my room, currently eating out of a tin of beans heated over a tea light candle).

A love letter to a goddess out of my league. Whilst Fenyx (female avatar) may just be a figment of some writer’s imagination, she reminded me of a good friend of mine, whom under different circumstances, I would have asked out years ago. It was nice to feel close to her again.

What I believe to be a hidden gem for the Gameboy Color system, overlooked by the regular Pokémon rpg games of the time, Pokémon Trading Card Game was a great game encouraging strategic thought development using Pokémon cards I didn’t have to pay for.

As long as you don’t make the mistake of going into this game expecting more Dragon Age Origins, you’ll do fine. Whilst it plays more like Telltale’s The Walking Dead, you can still enjoy a Dragon Age themed story and get a workout on your virtual legs.

Ubisoft have done it again. They release mediocre games as a main instalment, then bring out the greatest expansion packs ever. Far Cry 3, boring after Vaas dies, Blood Dragon on the other hand, action intensive and should have been the main release. Same with Black Flag and Freedom Cry.

The main character is usually mute in conversations, only being sometimes heard battle crying into battle or interacting with objects. I set my character’s voice to be arrogant I believe, which just resulted in him saying over and over “Can I get you a ladder, so you can get off my back!”.
When it did arrive in the post, I can only describe the next part of my experience as absolute bliss. Taking the mouse out of it’s well formed packaging, I sat it down on my desk, and ever so slowly brought my hand to rest upon it, gently caressing its curves and finally snuggling my palm into its resting position. It was heaven. All of the weight of my hand was evenly spread throughout my contact on the mouse, this is what true ergonomic design has been striving for since day dot.
I think someone needs to come clean with the gaming community and remind them what they actually want when it comes to gaming peripherals. Why on earth would someone want to game on a keyboard that’s just as noisy as the musical variant, being distracted by the laser light show commencing under their noise whilst spending over a £100 for the honour.
I highlight the incessant need of mechanical ‘gaming’ keyboards that have been on the market for the last 8 or so years, replicating the era of clunky keypresses of yellowing IBM keyboards.

It’s not that I’ve been putting off this late review, but that I’d forgotten all about bothering to write it up. Basically this GTA 4 rip off didn’t just leave a lasting bad impression on me, but that it was also so boring that I failed to commit much of it to memory.

So we take the lore of Lord of the Rings, we add a brilliant new storyline, we then drop Batman Arkham combat system into the game and just for good measure, create the Game of the Year edition with all the DLC and goodness and sell for practically pennies to gamers. Yes, please!
