It’s at this that I have realised that, even with the new 60 or so critters, the series does have a few terrible creatures that need don’t really need to be included.

GTA Online: Review Delay

As I’m sure most of you know GTA Online has been plagued with issues ever since its release last week. My plan was to review this section of the game separately, but these issues have caused me to hit a slight snag.

Eurogamer Expo 2013 - Day 3 Overview

Today marked my third, and likely ‘full’ final day of the Eurogamer Expo in Earls Court; London. Unfortunately my day-to-day life is slowly creeping up on me along with my household chores, general clothes washing and boyfriend duties to attend too. Luckily today was by far my most productive outing. Although I can't show you pictures of the booths as I either 'forgot' to take them or I was told not to. To kick things off we all ventured...
