#oneaday Retro Review: Snatcher

Many many people know about Hideo Kojima’s Metal Gear Solid, alot of those are aware that that wasn’t the first game in the series, and far too many people aren’t even aware that the director has worked on projects outside of the batshit mental world he’s created for the Snake family tree. This is mostly [...]

#oneaday Frustrated movie directors operating as videogame designers.

I’m openly critical of video game developers apparent need to justify the existence of  their latest title by making the “experience” “cinematic”. I often feel that developers tend to over really on what they deem as “cinematic” experiences or use cut-scenes far too often. Both of these issues are seemingly left overs from the PlayStation [...]

#oneaday Not the true Snake.

I think, after a long long time away from the series, I’m on a bit of a Metal Gear Solid bing. Regular readers will remember I did a retro review of the PlayStation instalment, I did a quick run through on Easy for that to reminds myself of the game properly before writing about it [...]

#oneaday Renegade

A few people I know of have decided to restart Mass Effect for varying reasons, and I decided to follow suit. We’ve all seemingly taken a differing approach compared to our initial playthroughs and again, I have done the same. I’m only a few hours in (not even broken 5 hours yet and am still [...]

#oneaday Retro Review: Metal Gear Solid

I usually try and do one of these each weekend for bitparade.co.uk, doesn’t always happen though, but this week I’ve managed it and as you can see, have been covering Metal Gear Solid.   It says alot about a particular franchise that its fans can overlook the fact each instalment has become more and more [...]

#oneaday The all new, sparkly, re-re-released, re-masted, best ever, I can’t believe its not butter, 30% more release

There’s always been a trend in entertainment media to re-release things. Films get re-released all the time, either because of format changes or because the director has decided to take another stab at it (see Blade Runner and Star Wars). However its the Game re-release that gets my goat. I don’t mind the one-off designed [...]

#oneaday script me baby one more time

I hope this doesn’t turn into a blog where I just bitch and moan about how I’m not enjoying videogames as much as I used to, but yes, this is another post that contains me bitching and moaning about videogames. So what is it this time? I hear you ask. Putting it simply, its the [...]

SPOILAAAARZ

As you’re obviously aware if you’ve been reading this thing since I started it, I’ve been playing Mass Effect 2. A game I’ve been really looking forward to getting my hands on based purely on its predecessor. I used to buy into hype surrounding games all the time, but despite running bitparade I started pretty [...]
