  • My Love-Hate Relationship with Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s Atlantis DLC

    17/09/2019
    Greece is beautiful. Oh, in real life sure, but I’m talking about the Peloponnesian War-era Greece that’s open to explore in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. I’ve spent an almost embarrassing number of hours in the game, most of which are spent in the most picturesque digital landscapes imaginable. But for...

  • A love for Virtual Photography

    28/02/2019
    In an industry which seems constantly under pressure I sometimes need to escape my escape. Fan expectations, financial issues and anti consumer actions are brought up in gaming news daily. Yes, that’s all important news but occasionally I need something positive, something to rise above the issues faced and...

  • Ranking the Assassin’s Creed Games

    25/09/2018
    After putting over 100 hours into Assassin’s Creed Origins and its DLC over the past year, I was hoping for some time off. There’re loads of games out there that I haven’t played and annualisation ultimately damaged the Assassin’s Creed brand so I wished that the next game wouldn’t...

  • The lighter side of violent video games

    19/06/2018
    Sometimes you just want to blow shit up. You get home from work or school and to let off some steam and relax, you switch on your console or PC with the aim of shooting legions of goons in the head or creating the biggest explosion possible. This doesn’t...

  • Without Assassins or the Creed, is Odyssey a true Assassin’s Creed game?

    15/06/2018
    This past week, at E3 2018, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey was revealed. Well, I say “revealed” but in fact, just like every Assassin’s Creed in years, pretty much every detail had been previously leaked. We knew it was to take place in Greece, re-introduce naval combat, have dialogue options, a...

  • Tanked Up 114 – Unsettling games and scary beer tax breaks

    20/04/2018
    Once again Ben and Lucy delve into the world of video games whilst supping some excellent beers. We start with some beer chat, tax breaks and the price of a pint. Ben’s played the first add-on for Assassin’s Creed Origins ‘The Hidden One’s’. Lucy has sunk some time into...

  • Entertainment Fatigue

    03/03/2018
    ‘It’s not you it’s me’ I think as I turn my console off during the early evening for a forth time in as many days. For a few weeks I’ve lost the will to consume much, entertainment wise. Games, films, TV shows, they’ve all dropped out of my mind...

  • Tanked Up 106 – Mobile Madness or Gaming Fatigue

    23/02/2018
    Lucy, Aadil and Ben are casual gamers. It’s true, don’t try to defend them. Ben hates games and only likes casual educational experiences like the Assassin’s Creed: Origins Discovery mode. Aadil hasn’t touched a game in months but has been poking Zenge a mobile game, a mobile game! Uhh...

  • Tanked Up 103 – The Dark Side of Gaming

    29/01/2018
    This week features all three of us, huzzah! But we chat the darker side of gaming from Epic Games closing down Paragon after only 2 years to the arcade mode in Star Wars Battlefront 2 being tied to the mulitplayer for progression which has been designed around loot boxes...
