Post #300: My Top Ten Announcements from 2026 Gaming Summer!
Knowing this was my 300th post, I wondered whether to write a reflective piece about this site. However, I think I’ve done enough of that over the past few months, especially in my last couple of Blog Updates. So instead, I want to keep looking ahead instead of back – and this timing lines up very well with the gaming summer, and an opportunity to…
Resident Evil Requiem Review – A Stunning Combination of Rejuvenated Horror
Developed and Published by: Capcom Platforms: Nintendo Switch 2 (Reviewed), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC Release Date: Out Now! Earlier this year, the much-anticipated Resident Evil Requiem was released, coming almost five years after Resident Evil Village. I’ve become a huge fan of the series in recent years, so I was very excited to not only play Requiem, but talk about it on this…
Yu-Gi-Oh! Report: Returning to Locals, Learning New Decks, & Adventures in Master Duel!
Since 2024, I’ve been documenting my journey back into the world of Yu-Gi-Oh! – this started out with nostalgia for the anime and early card game, before gradually learning how the game’s evolved, and then playing Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel to hone my skills. My last post about Yu-Gi-Oh! was back in December, when I was becoming increasingly confident with my Fire King deck in Master…
May Update: The Norfolk Marathon, What I’m Playing, & Getting Back into My Writing Routine
Hello again! Here I am, back for another blog update; my previous post was just prior to the 2026 Norfolk Marathon, talking about my preparation for the big event, as well as my writing progress, what I was playing, and book projects I’ve been working on. Naturally, I figured it’d make sense to write a follow-up, primarily about how I got on at the marathon,…
Blog Update: Adventures in Wales, My Upcoming Second Marathon, What I’m Playing, & More!
Hello there – I hope you all had a wonderful Easter break! If you looked in my drafts folder, you’d see that I’ve been beavering away on my next review (for Resident Evil requiem) – but over recent days, I’ve felt some anxiety and fatigue in my writing, and instead wanted to write this more informal blog update to shake the dust off. After all,…
Gunner-chan! Review – A Fast & Fun Roguelike Shooter Packing Plenty of Charm
Developed and Published by: kido Platforms: Nintendo Switch (Reviewed), PC Release Date: 25th December 2025 I make it a habit to browse the eShop frequently; with the Switch (and now Switch 2) being so popular, there are almost constant new releases on the platform, and it’s fascinating to browse not just the high profile games, but also the quieter releases that don’t get as much…
Pragmata: Sketchbook Review – How A 20 Minute Demo Sold Me On This New IP
We’ve just had a new Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase, showing off many of the third-party games coming to the Switch and Switch 2 in the near future – including games such as the upcoming Resident Evil Requiem, which I’m massively excited for! However, another Capcom game also grabbed my attention: Pragmata, a brand new science-fiction action-adventure IP. Immediately, I could recognise the stylings of the…
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment Review – The Best in the Series Yet?
Developed by: KOEI TECMO GAMES Published by: Nintendo Platforms: Nintendo Switch 2 (Reviewed), Nintendo Switch Release Date: 6th November 2025 (UK) Before starting up Age of Imprisonment, I felt a mix of excitement and caution. This is the third of the Hyrule Warriors games developed by KOEI TECMO, and whilst I overall enjoyed the previous two entries, I’ve been conflicted about their gameplay. Being set…
