Sonic & Mario started it all... Abe & Solid Snake hooked me in... And I've been gaming ever since. Most of my gaming is on Playstation as that's where I've been since the Megadrive headed off into the sunset.

Little Orpheus – PS4 Review

Uncharted: Legacy of Theives – The Lost Legacy Review

Having played the original release of The Lost Legacy (read our review here) when it launched back in August 2017, I was excited when the Uncharted: Legacy Of Thieves Collection was announced. I loved the switch to a new, yet familiar lead character. To steal a quote from protagonist Chloe Frazer  - "when people have low expectations, it's much easier to take them by surprise".  A truer word couldn't be said about this cinematic story-driven action-adventure, as it did take me by surprise and stands as one of my favourite games in the Uncharted series to date. Recharted - The Lost Legacy Developed by PlayStation first-party studio Naughty Dog, this remaster collects PS4 titles A Thief's End and The Lost Legacy in one package and brings them natively to the PS5. There's a welcome upgr...
