Hmm. Uhh. Yeah. Skyrim. It’s massive. The quests are never-ending. My character has a mohawk. My class is Breton. Don’t follow me on Twitter if you want to hear zilch about this game. 300 alleged hours of gameplay? I’m being quite sensible, though, and still juggling life responsibly. Just.
I’ve been waiting on the follow up to Arkham Asylum for a long time, and so far Arkham City isn’t a disappointment. The combat is just as addictive, as is soaring through the crime-infested city, solving riddles and, umm, admiring Catwoman. It’s become that game that makes me will 5pm to come along sooner every evening, and I haven’t had one of those for a while.
I much prefer the crummy wasteland to the more polished New Vegas strip. So many locations to discover, so many enemies to slaughter, so many threats to your survival. Gah, I love me some Fallout New Vegas and anticipate this being a mammoth 100+ hours RPG.
I don’t have anything derogatory to say about Alan Wake. My advice to you? Spend a night in Bright Falls and soak up the eerie atmosphere. Alan Wake excels at thrilling you psychologically. Which is why it’s called a psychological thriller, I guess…
Sam Fisher and I don’t go back too far. We first met on the Xbox 360 with Double Agent, but even I can see that Conviction is a different, less stealthy approach to the Splinter Cell series. Still, it’s bloody brilliant and very much worth the long wait we’ve endured.
It took me ages to get around to playing the original Mass Effect, but as soon as I did it was a case of “Why didn’t I do this sooner?!”. I’ve been looking forward to the sequel ever since, and it’s not disappointing. What can I say? It’s good to have Shepard back in my life.
I don’t need to introduce this game. I don’t need to tell you what genre it is, who developed it, or the basic premise behind it. All I’ll say is it’s exceeded all my expectations, and I want to marry Captain “Soap” MacTavish when I grow up. He is rocking that mohawk!
Skate 2 has been both the bane of my life and the love of my life for the past month. Set in the New San Vanelona, Skate 2 builds upon the original with more challenges, double the tricks, and the option to now play as a female skater. With a lengthy career, downloadable content, and plenty of multiplayer modes, Skate 2 is still keeping me busy.

GAME is pretty much my last resort for game purchases, and today I remembered why. Sneaky tactics like hiding normal editions of games in the stock room, having only special editions — which are considerably more expensive — on display. It didn’t escape me, a regular video game consumer, but the more casual shopper could easily be fooled.
Oh, and the fact that every time I shop there my gender is somehow brought into it. “You would love Skyrim, you can play AS A GIRL!”. Not forgetting the time I queued for Crackdown and was greeted with “This isn’t a very feminine choice”.
I’d much rather throw my cash at the independent dealers, or even GameStation. Yes, I know GameStation was bought by GAME a few years ago, but there seems to be a huge difference in the attitudes of staff. GAME is run by suits. Sneaky, sexist suits.
Ugh.
