Platforms – 360 | PS3 | PC (Steam) (reviewed)
Developed and Published by Seeeeeegaaaaa!

I need to get this out of the way. ‘Sonic Boom’ playing to any boss fight may be one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences of my life. The song is so cheesy, with lyrics absurdly uplifting, but it manages to straddle that line of silly/awesome that gives you that encouragement to beat the ever loving crap out of whatever Robotnik’s next match-up is. And that, dear readers, is why Sonic Generations will be one of this year’s underrated releases. It is actually a fantastic game with an overwhelming amount of love thrown into it.

New Girl began on Channel 4 on the 6th January 2012. You can watch the pilot episode on 4OD here.

A brilliant new series coming to Channel 4 very soon and definitely not one to miss, especially for those who like girly humour and singing to yourself. New Girl stars Zooey Deschanel (500 Days of Summer, Yes Man) as Jess, a kooky broken-hearted girl who moves in with three strangers.

Platform – PC (Steam)
Developed by Edmund McMillen and Florian Himsl

It’s been out since the end of September, but screw it, this is a great game that I’ve put a surprising amount of time into recently and I’m bloody reviewing it, yeah? Good. Isaac is a “roguelike”, an older game-style that I’ve never played before. Gaming sessions are short, but maddeningly addictive as you play the titular Isaac who must descend into his basement and the caves below this while running away from his mother who has been instructed by God to kill him. Yup! Continue reading →
