Biomutant trailer

The game that has got me most excited for is Biomutant by the developers who brought us the brilliantly fun Mad Max. The idea of playing as an overgrown gerbil with Bruce Lee fighting skills in an open world RPG where John Woo is God is just too much aceness to pass up. I also really like the idea of having a tree of life where you encounter bosses at the roots and depending on karma, you can either protect the planet or let everything go to hell.
Mad Max had a lot of mixed reviews with most criticism coming from the repetitive nature of the game, it was mostly brawling and driving (which is what Mad Max is all about surely?) and yes it was pretty basic gameplay but it was fun because I got the feeling the devs didn't take it too seriously, and Biomutant looks more of the same. I was a big fan of the Mad Max videogame and if the feeling in my water holds, this looks like a blast also.

Dishonored: Death Of A God

I don't usually get too excited over new videogame DLC but this? This is Dishonored, this is different. And oh what a ride. If it is to be the final flick of the assassin's blade, its a tidy way to exit. This isn't a review, and there are no spoilers, only a fan who has played the original game over 40 times (no exaggeration) throwing his thoughts at the internet wall, in the hope a newbie to Dishonored will stumble across them and pick up Death Of the Outsider. It is rather ace.

Romero the Zombie King

And so the world loses another creative force who gave we horror fiends, and movie fans in general, so much bloody good time (and I do mean BLOODY). A true icon, the king of gore leading the undead into shopping malls to terrorize and wreak havoc. If it wasn't for George, zombies in todays cinema would be very different, even if they existed at all, and I doubt there would be many willing to argue against that

Rest easy sir, thanks for the nightmares.

Far Cry 5 trailer released

Its finally landed! Happy t see I wasn't a million miles out with the Waco cult vibe, and good thing too because it suits the world of Far Cry. Its also a personal favourite of mine, I love the weird cultist going crazy theme, its both comical (at times if done well) and terrifying and if this game lives up to what I'm already imagining, it will be one of the best in the series.

Scourge Of Iron

Bang That Head Young Man

I got a double dose of the Corpsies this Christmas. I always thought death metal and yuletide compliment each other with the loud, deafening shell that hides a mob of tiny, deathly shards of pleasure. Ahem...okay before I disappear up my own exhaust, the two records played loudest were Cannibal Corpse "Torture" and "A Skeletal Domain". Behold the might of death!

Late Hero Killing Monsters

Behold!

When I was a drinker I always said that there is nothing like a loud thud! ay yjr ass end of a gig (the rebel wind exclamation mark included). I was a Witcher virgin, my innocence untapped by the moon wraiths and cursed ones of this (other) world, but ever since The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt arrived at the tavern, I kept a sly eye on it from the fast cooling embrace of Elder Scrolls like a sh@g happy Romeo.
The reviews were many, as was the praise on internet forums where Geralt's fans only had good words to spend on the game. Sure there were minor grumbles and trolls looking for a wind up but but the overall vibe was you need Witcher 3 in your life so I dutifully piled in to the world of Geralt of Rivia to crack some supernatural ass.

Skyrim Remaster

It was only a matter of time but the eagle has landed (or to be more accurate, the dragon). I know, I know, a lot of gamers complain about the current gen's remasters, myself included, but admit it, SKYRIM REDUX IS WANT! And the best thing? It hits the shelves 28 October. Ace, hopefully it comes without the glitches that stained the previous gen consoles (though this is Bethesda so i'll whisper it).
It looks pretty damned tasty in the video (above( and this time us lowly console owners are getting mods that featured in Fallout 4. Its looking pretty win win but pricing is going to be the main issue for most. Anything over £30 will be a tough sell considering its now 5 years old and I cant have been the only one who bought it twice when the Legendary edition was released. £20 would be a day one insra buy for me.
