So far we have had EA, Microsoft, Bethesda and Devolver Digital wow the world with their new gaming news. Well, some more than others anyway! Devolver Digital have so far stolen this years E3 – seriously, if you haven’t watched it yet , you can do so right now by clicking right here! Next up on the agenda, Ubisoft. So what can we expect from Ubi this year? Continue reading
The Division
Gaming Tastes
…and how to satisfy them.
Growing up, I was a sucker for the big experience. Games like Diablo, Neverwinter Nights, Ultima Online and World of Warcraft were the staples of my gaming habits from around 8 years old up until I was in my late teens. However, these days – although I still love the genres – I can never quite pull the trigger on these types of game purchases. But why? Continue reading
Game Of The Year 2016
… one award to rule them all.
Today marks the end of the year, and amidst all the celebrity deaths and dumb founding decisions made by the general public – some games were released! So, without further ado, here are my top 3! Continue reading
2016: A (gaming) year in review Part 1
2016 is, if our listen to Facebook, the “worst year ever” and a “year to be forgot” and other such hyperbolic nonsense! For us gamers though 2016 will be remembered as an excellent year for the hobby we love.
In every quarter we were treated to some absolutely brilliant games and more than one all time classic as well, in essence, we were spoilt rotten this year and although three were a number of high-profile flops (or bombas as the Internet now calls them) that doesn’t deminish the quality of the titles.
We also celebrated the twentieth anniversary of the Pokémon franchise, started collecting the rare mythical Pokemon and then witnessed the franchise apart the status quo on mobile while simultaneously becoming the biggest game of the year with Pokémon GO!
On top of this we saw the release of four new bits of hardware and the announcement of two more – but we also heard the death kneels for two beloved consoles (both Nintendo) but its all in the name of progress, I can’t remember a year in which quite so much happened.
In the process of writing this feature I realised that it was going to be far too long (it was over 2000 words) so what was originally intended to be a two-part series has become a four parter! Here’s what happened in Quarter 1 2016! Continue reading
MrLuvva’s Luv-In #57
August is nearly gone which means that September is about to begin – and with September comes…
…the Christmas games rush! Colour me excited though, new games are coming and it’s not a moment too soon; I haven’t bought one since ‘The Division’ so i’m well overdue! On top of that the PSVR is getting so close I can almost taste it (prepare yourselves for an avalanche of VR articles) – as well as our annual “Frightfest” celebrations – it’s almost too much.
Getting back to the present though I have assembled a crack selection of posts for your enjoyment. As always make sure you support these fine writers with a click of their links and if you have a good post you want to share with us, then please link it in the comments below! Continue reading
When enough, is too much
….I’m back!
After quite the long hiatus, I am back to my weekly spot! Hooray! Sorry about the absence, but I have had little to no time over recent weeks – and just a heads up there will be no post next week as I will be perusing around London looking for all the Pokémon! Continue reading
My Gaming 2016 so far…
Gaming is great, hell it’s better than that – its awesome!
And yet it’s been nearly three years since the release of the PS4 and Xbox One and aside from the odd exclusive here and there at the end of 2015 it really felt like this generation was yet to begin. The manufacturers promised that this year would be the one to finally kickstart it though, and now that it is July; officially halfway through the year, there is no better time to look at my own gaming this year and decide whether or not this is true!
Here’s what I’ve bought, played and completed this year! Continue reading
Ignorance Is Bliss
…taking time out from “fan” opinion.
As you all know I have wrote quite a lot over the last couple of months about things within gaming culture and fan forums which just rub me the wrong way. Well, today marks the start of a glorious new beginning…I am done! Continue reading
When Developers Strike Back
…sometimes, you just gotta take the blame yourself.
As you all know, here I like to stick up for developers and studios which get a lot of unfair stick, most notably The Division and Gearbox recently. However I won’t defend them when they themselves screw up. That wouldn’t be fair or a fair reflection on my feelings.

MrLuvva’s Luv-In #47
We’re now midway through April and my calendar is close to losing another page – the years go way too quickly for my liking.
Speaking of years, this week (the 21st to be precise) marks the two year anniversary of these pages (the humble beginnings when the blog was something very different)!
To mark this occasion myself and MrJohnSherry will be picking our favourite posts from the last two years and highlighting them in bonus posts for your enjoyment! Basically it means that it will be 14 days of non-stop content to read and revisit.
So join us on our celebration of all things Luvva!
Today though we are sharing the work of others, and we have a good few posts that deserve your attention; as always click those links that appeal and give these guys your support. Ok thanks bye! Continue reading
