The Best PC Game of All Time

Against all laws of probability I’ve somehow managed to catch yet another bloody cold. Annoyingly it’s just a few days before I’m due to go visit my sister and little nephew, so hopefully I can just inject some Lucozade straight into my bloodstream and let that sort everything out. I’m pretty that’s a medically sound idea, right? On that topic, though, I thought I’d share a picture of my wee nephew pulling his best pose for the camera. Cheeky little sod. This week I reviewed the gruesome Mortal Kombat 11 and had some quite mixed feelings about it. Ultimately, though, the core fighting mechanics were bloody awesome and I’m still having good fun with it. The progression system is still rather naff, but I’m enjoying learning different characters and getting my ass whooped online. I’m still playing Days Gone as well. And yes, I do still plan on reviewing it. I’m just taking my time with, savoring it as much as I can. Because I like to review as much as I possibly can I find myself rus...

The mighty Roman Empire is ingrained in my head, such a big role it has played in history. But while many people can envision marching columns of Roman troops conquering everything they came near there are huge swathes of their history that is much lesser known.

Due to Segada’s walls not yet being complete, they retreated to the town of Numantia when the Romans came knocking, a town that would cause the mighty Roman war machine a lot of headaches. Or at le...

  Platforms: PC. Xbox One, PS4 Reviewed On: Xbox One Developer: Monolith Publisher: Warner Bros. Singleplayer: Yes Multiplayer: Kind of Review code supplied free of charge by the publisher. God damn, Warner Bros., you couldn’t just release a game without finding a way to stuff microtransactions into it, could you? Before Shadow of War even hit stores shelves it was revealed that there would be purchasable loot crates, and understandably the Internet was not happy, especially since Warner Bros. had already announced different tiers of the game for you to buy on launch. Having played through the game I can at least confirm that they are optional, but at the same time they’ve clearly influenced the design as the end-game is a brutal slog in order to get a second ending that feels as though it was made with the sole intention of pushing players toward spending real cash. It’s a shame because these microtransactions cash a shadow (see what I did there, eh? EH!?) across what is othe...
