Death Stranding 2: On The Beach Review

Introduction:

Death Stranding never really appealed to me when I first tried the Director’s Cut version on Epic Games. What eventually swayed me to try Death Stranding 2 was a recommendation from one of my gaming friends. That spark of curiosity turned into a leap of faith, and I decided to order it from Amazon to see if the sequel could win me over.

Ghost (1990) DVD Review – Is This Classic Romance Still Worth Watching?

Introduction:

Ghost is one of those unforgettable films that blends romance, drama, comedy, and a touch of the supernatural. Directed by Jerry Zucker and starring Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, and Whoopi Goldberg, it became a '90s classic and remains just as moving today. 

This was my first attempt at writing a DVD review, and Ghost felt like the perfect choice — it’s one of my all-time favourites.

Tagline: True Love Never Dies.

Dexter Resurrection Review

What made me watch it?

The original Dexter was excellent, but when Dexter: New Blood was released to continue the story, I was left quite disappointed. The ending felt rushed and didn’t do justice to such a brilliant character. 

So, when I heard about Dexter: Resurrection, I was both intrigued and sceptical. Could they bring Dexter back in a way that felt authentic, especially after the cliffhanger in New Blood? Curiosity got the better of me, and I had to see how they would continue his journey.

Tagline: The Dark Passenger returns — sharper, darker, and more gripping than ever.

Rise of the Tomb Raider Review

Introduction:

After loving the 2013 reboot of Tomb Raider, I couldn’t wait to dive into its sequel, Rise of the Tomb Raider. At first, I held off because the price felt too steep — but after about three months, I grabbed the base game for £19 from CD-Key.com. While I don’t usually buy new releases so soon, this one was just too tempting to resist.

The game also came with a Season Pass (which I don’t own), but honestly, it felt overpriced for the amount of content on offer, and for PlayStation fans, the biggest frustration at the time was that the game still wasn’t available on PS4.

Dexter: Series 1 Review

Dexter – Sociopath by Day, Serial Killer by Night.

That tagline alone had me intrigued.

Mafia: The Old Country Review

Introduction:

Mafia: The Old Country is an immersive, story-driven adventure that transports players into a world of loyalty, betrayal, and survival. From the very first mission, the game grips you with its authentic Sicilian setting and a narrative that feels both cinematic and deeply personal.

Mass Effect: Andromeda Review

A Lucky Win:

I’ve entered daily competitions for years, winning everything from small prizes to a trip to Liverpool. This time, I won something different: a video game.

While browsing Allkeyshop — usually just for price comparisons — I stumbled across their daily Gleam competition. At first, I doubted it was legitimate, but then an email arrived saying I had won Mass Effect: Andromeda. Five days later, the key landed in my inbox, ready to redeem on Origin.

I’m not usually a sci-fi gamer, preferring fantasy worlds like The Witcher 3 or Dragon’s Dogma, and I hadn’t played the original Mass Effect trilogy. Still, I was curious to try this £39.99 title (at launch) and see what it had to offer.

Plants vs Zombies Review

Introduction:

I was introduced to Plants vs Zombies by my nephew, who couldn’t stop raving about it. At first, I wasn’t sure it would be my kind of game, but since it was free to install on my Nexus 7, I gave it a try — and I’m glad I did. Years later, after moving over to Apple devices, I re-downloaded it and was blown away by how sharp it looks on Retina displays (though the free versions do come with ads).

I’ve since tried it across multiple platforms — from PC via Origin’s On The House deal to the browser version on PopCap’s website — and while the graphics vary, the gameplay has always been addictive.

Peggle Nights Review

A Different Pace:

Since Scarlett came into my life, with all the ups and downs of pregnancy and the sleepless nights that followed, my gaming habits have undergone a shift. Normally, I enjoy large open-world games with rich stories, but lately I’ve turned to smaller puzzle titles — something I can dip into without losing hours at a time. That’s how I found myself revisiting Peggle Nights, the sequel to Peggle, made by PopCap Games.
