Diablo is back, and you can be ‘beautiful in sin’ by playing the OPEN BETA this weekend 25th of March. Blizzard has already delivered the closed Beta and these are my first impressions and damn the release on June 6th, 2023 will be an interesting one. Following the demonic seductress

I live all things Elder Scrolls and have spent well over 1000 hours in the world of Skyrim across about 3 platforms and evidently over 10 years. Bethesda themselves, I will shamelessly say, have been one of my favourite developers and publishers of all time as they take on massive

June 29th, 2000, the release date of the original Diablo II on PC, yep, I was 13 years old. Little did I know the games I dabbled in back then would thrust me into something I love so much 21 years later. Although I wasn’t a PC gamer back then,

You’ve heard this line a million times before: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”, right? If you haven’t, the general idea behind the quote is that if something works, and it works well, don’t bother trying to fix it because odds are, you’ll end up breaking something that didn’t

Every time I fire up one of these LEGO Games, the souls of my feet start to hurt. My youngest child loves Lego with a passion, and it is true that I should have prepared for this by walking 4 kilometers a day, barefoot on a river of LEGO to

Bear with me because this going to be a stretch hybrid. Have you ever wondered what Devil May Cry mixed with Darksiders with a very Miami Vice-esq protagonist would be like? (told you it was a stretch) but if you answered “YES” or “Hmm, that sounds strange yet cool” then

Where to begin with The Elder Scrolls Online? Cast your mind back to the release of the infamous Xbox 360, just after being converted from the PS2, I was introduced to Oblivion. Thanks to my friend, Vdog, this was a gaming moment I’ll cherish. My god, I lost hours in

Ever wondered what would happen if you replaced ‘Samus’ from the ‘Metroid’ series with a cat? And say this cat had access to an impressive arsenal of giant robotic mech suits and weaponry, whilst roaming an isolate space planet? Sounds insane, yet awesome, right?!

I like to think my zombie apocalypse survival plan is pretty simple, but it assumes that I am in a shopping centre when it begins. Get into the ceiling; move around as quietly as possibly; scavenge what basic survival gear Australian shops contain and wait it out until the zombies
