Introducing The Little Vikings!

Hola, muchachos!

 

I’ve been silent for a while, due to being in Tenerife. The holiday was excellent, a welcome break and time to recharge the batteries. Saw some great wildlife and went up a mountain to check out a volcano. You know, everyday stuff.

However, what I’m really pleased about, is the news I’ve been sitting on since this time last year!

I’ve hinted a few times that I’ve been working on a new games writing project, one that I couldn’t fully discuss due to a non-disclosure agreement. That game is now in public beta and I’m free to spread the word (and if you want to spread it too, that would be excellent!)

Introducing…

The Little Vikings!

Dark Souls II Review – Prepare to Swear

When I received my Dark Souls 2 Xbox review copy, I had no idea that I’d end up writing such a massive review. Like the game itself, it had a difficult but addictive quality.

 

First, the gist: I didn’t know whether or not I liked From Software’s new game at first, but once the mechanic hooked me, I fell for it. This is not for casual gamers, or lovers of storyline, but if you want to be challenged and play what feels like a true old-school RPG, you’re in luck come March 14^th. So…

 

…Greetings, traveler. No, do not look upon my face, for it is scarred with terrible curses. Sit beside my fire and hear a tale of woe that few have heard and remained sane… if you dare.

You must get used to this manner of speech if you wish to traverse the black heart of Dark Souls 2, for many are the vague references to upsetting goings-on. Hark at my account of the first few hours of play:

Broken Sword returns for a fifth adventure!

The news is out; Broken Sword, a series close to the hearts of many point-n-click pros, has returned.

 

This title, called ‘The Serpent’s Curse Episode One’ is now available on Steam and GOG for £18.99. In fact, it’s knocked down to £15.19 on Steam until the 13th December.
