Posted on October 12, 2014 by fakedtales

I was wowed and weirded out by the Nintendo Direct advert for Tomodachi Life. On D+Pad Magazine I’ve posted my review of my experiences with the game itself. I warn you, I made the X-Men for my little fictional island … Continue reading →

Game Review – Mountain

Posted on July 30, 2014 by fakedtales

Game Review – Tower of Guns

Posted on July 26, 2014 by fakedtales

Operation Lightning 2015

Posted on January 21, 2014 by fakedtales

That right there is a blank corkboard. Take it in. Breathe, relax. This is going to grow, it’s going to become something far bigger, far better. For many years now I have had a concept called Lightning. It started life … Continue reading →
