If you’ve spent any time around me in the last two months, you may have heard me going on and on about some little charity event I’m doing. Come Monday 23rd of April at around midday, I will start playing Battlefield 3 for twenty four hours straight. Below is a handy FAQ for everyone who is asking me the same questions over and over.

Despite a glowing start to the year in keeping the website updated, March flew by at a faster than light pace. The lack of content here is a result of various factors outside of the usual blend of work, family life and random occurrences or distractions. A steady backlog of Christmas and post Christmas games combined with reviewing new releases has seen my all but abandon the most crucial of writing tasks.

Before you ask just what the fuck a Nexus Flux Koala is the answer is no, I don’t really know either. I certainly know that for this particular project I wanted an ‘Op’ name because of the massive undertaking and amount of effort involved. I also know I didn’t want to just give it some generic shit name like “Operation Awesome”. Mind you, I doubt ‘Nexus Flux Koala’ is going to go down as an excellent name for an Operation. If I’d been in charge of the Normandy landings we’d of been charging across the sandy shores of ‘Éclair’, ‘Doughnut’, and my personal favourite ‘Cream Scone’.

Assassins Creed Revelations is the latest in a long series of Assassin Creed games. Released to mixed opinions about how the series has become stale, I’ve finally had the chance to get stuck into the game fully myself. While I’m not at a stage where I could write a full review I have noticed a number of things that I think needed to be changed to make the product better overall.

Every so often I’ll give a little update to what I’m playing. It’s good to actually write about it sometimes, rather than just feature pieces or just one game. I’ll aim to keep it fairly up to date as I can.

Minibyte Reviews are designed to do two things. Firstly to allow me to write quick, easy to read, informative reviews. It allows me to not get bogged down writing huge articles for one game. While they may deserve huge articles to explain everything, I don’t have the time to write five thousand words for every game I play.
Game: Rage
Developer: Id Software
Released: October 2011

Unless you’ve been living under a rock or have simply no interest in video games, you would of noticed that there has been a new Legend Of Zelda game released recently. Just prior to Christmas (Nintendo you sly old fox) Skyward Sword was released for the Nintendo Wii with glowing review and much praise from pretty much everyone. They were right because it is bloody excellent. While I could go on and sing it’s praises, I’m actually a little more interested in the other product that came with it.

I’m fully aware that my previous post discussed the ridiculous amount of games that I have to play. As I sat there typing that up, acknowledging the irony that I’m writing about a lack of play time instead of playing, my eyes wandered up to my shelf. Digital Distribution has rendered this shelf almost obsolete. Most of the very old games are now in storage, because there are just that many of them that keeping them out is more hassle than it’s worth. The one’s that are left generally fall into one of the follow categories: ‘Playing’ ‘Replaying’ and the always depressing ‘ Unfinished’

Not the Sage and Onion variety either. Although that is pretty lush in itself. A roast dinner without stuffing is like a video game without Zombies: missing a vital part that everyone seems to overlook. I jest of course Zombies are as common as fucking iphones these days and don’t really need to be in every single game that comes out.
