Weekend Whammy: Decay of Logos, Control & Aquaman Rocks

Another weekend has passed into the annals of history, as time marches toward its inevitable violent conclusion. And on that happy note it’s time for another Weekend Whammy! Huzzah! Buckle up meat bags, because this week I’m taking more about Control , Luigi’s Mansion , Aquaman and Decay of Logo s. Right, once again before we get going I need to stop and ask you to please check out the Go Fund Me page for my friend with terminal cancer. She doesn’t have a lot of time left, but thanks to the government she has a bunch of debt, can’t pay the bills and is struggling just to get food on the table. I’m helping her out as much as I financially can, but if you can spare even £5 it would be amazingly helpful. Again, here’s the link: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-a-terminal-cancer-patient So, this week I reviewed Gibbous – A Cthulhu Adventure which was actually pretty light on the Cthulhu. Like, the tentacle to normal game ratio was heavily tilted in favour of the normal. Anyway it was...

Weekend Whammy: What’re Ya’ll Playing This Weekend?

I blinked and suddenly the weekend was nearly over! What the hell is that about? And there’s just over a week until Christmas? Oh god. So, this week I successfully managed to get out a review of Just Cause 4, an open-world Michael Bay simulator that has an incredibly satisfying set of systems for getting around the place and plenty of ways to enjoy yourself. Now that I’ve reviewed it, though, I don’t feel any real desire to head back and goof around some more. Maybe I’m just getting old because I’m pretty sure teenage me would have loved the crap out of Just Cause 4. In fact, I know I would because I loved the hell out of the first game back in 2006 and then the second game in 2010. But now I am a crotchety old man and want more from my games. Still, as a slice of stupid fun I reckon Just Cause 4 will be worth grabbing once it goes on sale. I’ve been delving into Red Matter on the PSVR this week after review code came in for it a few days ago. So far my impressions are pretty good, ...

The Okayest Playground Of Destruction

Platforms: PC, Xbox One, PS4 Reviewed On: Xbox One X Developer: Avalanche Studios Publisher: Square Enix Singleplayer: Yes Multiplayer: No Having been named the leader of an entire rebellion and charged with incredible responsibility I cannot help but feel my troops may be questioning their choices as they watch me float a cow into the sky before triggering the booster rockets strapped to its backside, sending it spiralling into the air before it crashes into a nearby cliff. This isn’t some cunning ploy to distract the enemy or some ingenious new bovine weapon, it’s just me dicking around. This revolution is screwed. The oppressed masses are about to become the squashed masses. Once again over-the-top-cool-man Rico Rodriguez is back on another landmass that is being ruled by an evil dictator who must be taken down via the medium of explosions. The big news is that this evil dictator has machines capable of controlling the weather itself and Rico’s father was somehow all wrapped up i...
