Review: Divinity II: Ego Draconis
May 16, 2010
This is yet another game I found while perusing the offerings of the Xbox Live marketplace. I wanted a new RPG so I thought I’d give the demo a go, and before I knew it I was ordering the game for next day delivery. I looked up the reviews and saw that it largely seemed to be the overlooked RPG of 2009, a victim of bad timing as much as anything, so I thought I’d give Divinity 2: Ego Draconis the benefit of the doubt, and to be honest, I’m glad I did.

5 Minute Review: Dragon Slaughter
May 12, 2010
In a flurry of productivity here’s another potentially good buy for you this evening… I was mistakenly guided here thinking this was an RPG, and hunting for something with dragons given my recent love affair with Dragon Age: Origins (review of the DLCs coming soon… ish…) and was, if I’m honest, disappointed on both counts, but fortunately I was pleasantly surprised with the reality of the game, so read on to see if it could be the pleasant surprise you’re hunting for too… Read the rest of this entry ?
5 Minute Review: Sporcle
May 12, 2010
This was actually introduced to me by one of the kids at school who came rushing over for help with one of the quizzes before his time ran out, and from that point on I was hooked. It has since entertained me on trans-Atlantic flights and entertained my entire family on long drives up and down the length of the UK, yes, people, Sporcle truly is fun for all the family.
Review: Mass Effect 2
February 28, 2010Well I promised my initial thoughts on this quite a while ago, but given the amount of time I was dedicating to playing it, I thought I may as well wait until I finished it, and so I did, then started playing other things, and before I know it, nearly a month has passed – apologies! However, thankfully, in around 30 hours spread across 6 days I have once again saved the galaxy from certain annihilation. Go me!
Commander Shepard returns and in the beginning all is well – you and your crew are aboard the Normandy, happily floating around in space and then BAM! A big ass ship starts tearing through yours! You have to save Joker (well, who wouldn’t?!) and then, in a cut scene, you are hurled off into space and certain death. I’ll be honest, this left me a little baffled, I thought I’d messed up the mission already and hadn’t saved Joker quickly enough or something, but no, it was all part of the plan… Your body is recovered, your physical being restored, and you are able to head out and save the galaxy once more. There’s just one catch – you’ve got the evil self-serving Cerberus to thank for it…
