October 18th, 2013 by Irwin Fletcher Comments

    Sometimes a game isn’t a game, sometimes a game wants to be more than the sum of its parts, it can strive for greatness, head straight toward cinematic glory and tell a story worth telling. Then if a game is not a game, what is it? This is the question I was left […]

FTN Reviews: Splinter Cell Blacklist

September 13th, 2013 by Irwin Fletcher Comments

      Sam Fisher returns, sounding considerably younger and not at all like Michael Ironside anymore, in Splinter Cell: Blacklist, foiling terrorist plots and generally being very stealthy indeed. Or not, depending on who’s playing. Because this newest iteration combines elements from the previous games in the series, from the hardcore stealth of Chaos […]

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Review

August 7th, 2013 by Irwin Fletcher Comments

      It’s such a rare treat to play an indie game with a beautiful story and setting. One that makes you smile and sometimes curse the skies, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons does exactly this. The game is strange to say the least, you control two brothers each using one analogue stick […]

The Walking Dead 400 Days DLC Review

July 4th, 2013 by Irwin Fletcher Comments

    It was revealed at E3 and it’s already here, The Walking Dead 400 Days DLC. An add on to the original game and one that shouldn’t be scoffed at. Even if you bought the Season 1 Season pass you will still have to pay for the privilege of playing this DLC and let […]

Zeno Clash 2 PC Review

May 15th, 2013 by Crowbar Comments

Ah yes, Zeno Clash, a game that took new meaning to First Person Shooter…Erm , Brawler. Quite frankly, the game had a lot of problems despite being such a fresh idea. It felt somewhat unfinished.

April 6th, 2013 by Irwin Fletcher Comments

The fourth outing to the thick necked, huge shouldered, chainsaw gun armed, blood and guts world of Gears of War is here. And it’s a strange beast. It’s still the Gears of War we all know and love, but also very different at the same time.   First things first; considering the main story was […]

Arcadecraft Review and Interview with Developer

March 2nd, 2013 by Irwin Fletcher Comments

I love action games, I really do. When it comes to putting a disc in and kicking back the stresses of the day about 80% of the time it will be an action game. I suppose it’s why I could never get into Minecraft much, I’d rather be shooting people and ducking for cover than […]
