Gaming Tastes

…and how to satisfy them.

piknmix

Just like a pick-n-mix, got to filter through the fillers!

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

2016: A (gaming) year in review Part 1

cooltext222209618573806

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

My Gaming 2016 so far…

Gaming is great, hell it’s better than that – its awesome!

Videogames 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

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
