After taking part in the Psychonauts episode of Left Behind Game Club, I was lucky enough to be invited back on, this time to discuss a very different game. The Nonary Games: 999 is the first in a series of visual novels, full of mystery, twists and turns. It is quite a special series on … Continue reading “Guest Appearance – Left Behind Game Club – The Nonary Games: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors”

Jacob McCourt (host of The ‘Left Behind Game Club), alongside friends Katie Lesperance and Travis Colenutt, created a new podcast called ‘Cutscenes’.

Website Update – November 2021
Hello everyone, I thought it was about time that I wrote something on this blog of mine, and starting with an update only seemed right! I made this website last year while I was going through a bad time, you know when you just get so immersed in something that it helps you block everything … Continue reading “Website Update – November 2021”
Saying Goodbye to my Ps Plus series.
Hi guys, I hope everyone is doing well! Some of you may have noticed that I am extremely behind on my Ps Plus series. I have made the difficult and sad decision to stop. I know that no-one really followed it intently and most people will just think ‘ok cool’ or ‘do what you need … Continue reading “Saying Goodbye to my Ps Plus series.”
Steam Game Festival: Autumn Edition 2020
The Steam Game Festival: Autumn Edition 2020 is here! Usually I play many demos, record them for YouTube and make a video of my highlights and top pics. I’m extremely disappointed that – due to technical reasons – I will not be able to do that for this season. So instead, I am going to … Continue reading “Steam Game Festival: Autumn Edition 2020”
PS Plus – September 2020
September 2020 is here with a new line up of games! I asked for variety. I guess that was kind of answered? We haven’t had a fighting game for a while. In fact, I don’t think we have had one at all since I started covering PS Plus! After having lost of shooters and just … Continue reading “PS Plus – September 2020”
Let’s Play – Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
Back in the day when I was just a baby noob, I played Uncharted: Drakes Fortune. Fun fact – that was my second ever Let’s Play series! I had never really played a game like it and it showed. Three years later, it is finally time to dive into Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Since then, … Continue reading “Let’s Play – Uncharted 2: Among Thieves”
Let’s Play – Jessika
I was going to play this one for Halloween but got the opportunity to jump in earlier! Jessika is a German, Indie, FMV Detective game developed by Tritrie Games. This game first jumped onto my radar at the Steam Game Festival, where it was one of my favourite demos of the Summer Edition 2020. I … Continue reading “Let’s Play – Jessika”
Review – Stardew Valley – PS4
Stardew Valley is a top-down, indie, farming game, developed by solo developer, Eric Barone. I had heard a lot about Stardew Valley being this amazing, relaxing and addictive game, but originally I was put off by the 2D graphics. Eventually though, I had a massive Harvest Moon itch and Stardew Valley went on sale. I … Continue reading “Review – Stardew Valley – PS4”
PS Plus – August 2020
Overall, August 2020 was a strange month in PS Plus terms. The fact that we got another Call of Duty game just two months after the last, and that it was single player only was completely overshadowed by the release and success of Fall Guys. And that in itself makes it a great month. Call … Continue reading “PS Plus – August 2020”
Review – Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition – PS4
Sleeping Dogs is an open world, third person, crime/action game developed by United Front Games. I had heard it described as a surprisingly good GTA clone set in Hong Kong which sounded good to me! It regularly goes on sale for less than £5 on the PS Store and that includes all DLC. It’s a … Continue reading “Review – Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition – PS4”
Review – Telltales The Walking Dead: Season 2 – PS4
The Walking Dead: Season 2 is a direct sequel to The Walking Dead: Season 1 and it’s DLC 400 days, all developed by Telltale Games. Season 1 is widely considered a great game, one of Telltales best. The only comments that I had read before about Season 2 were about how it wasn’t as good … Continue reading “Review – Telltales The Walking Dead: Season 2 – PS4”
Review – Murdered: Soul Suspect – PS4
Murdered: Soul Suspect is a homicide detective game with a twist, developed by Airtight Games. You are actually the murder victim and you have to solve your own death. As someone who enjoys solving a good mystery it was a no brainer for me to pick this game up. That, and I was completely intrigued … Continue reading “Review – Murdered: Soul Suspect – PS4”
Review – Infamous Second Son – PS4
Infamous Second Son is a PS4 exclusive, developed by Sucker Punch Productions. It was one of the first next-gen games, but I’ve just gotten around to playing it. There were two previous Infamous titles available on the PS3 but I haven’t played them so I am very new to the series. Second Son is a … Continue reading “Review – Infamous Second Son – PS4”
Review – Telltales The Walking Dead Season 1 – PS4
The Walking Dead Season 1 is the third Telltale Game that I have played, following ‘Tales from the Borderlands’ and ‘The Wolf Among Us’, even though it was created before both. I must admit, I think I had put it off for longer than I needed too simply because I was scared. I am obsessed … Continue reading “Review – Telltales The Walking Dead Season 1 – PS4”
Let’s Play – Curious Expedition 2 – Early Access
My first experience with Curious Expedition 2 was during the Steam Game Festival: Spring Edition. Thanks to the developers Maschinen-Mensch, I now have the opportunity to play the full Early Access game! Curious Expedition 2 is a roguelike expedition simulator, an adventure game with board game like elements, and a bit of a story generator. … Continue reading “Let’s Play – Curious Expedition 2 – Early Access”
PS Plus – July 2020
July 2020 marks the 10 year anniversary of PS Plus. To celebrate, they gave us an additional game Erica, on top of the regularly scheduled line up of NBA 2K20 and Rise of the Tomb Raider. NBA 2K20 is a basketball game, made to simulate the complete basketball experience. I can’t tell you whether it … Continue reading “PS Plus – July 2020”
Let’s Play – Virginia
Virginia has been on my radar for a while despite not really knowing anything about it. I knew it was short, I knew it was a narrative game, I knew it was unique, and that is it! In Virginia we play as FBI Special Agent Anna Tarver, while she takes on a missing persons case, … Continue reading “Let’s Play – Virginia”
Review – The Wolf Among Us – PS4
The Wolf Among Us is the second Telltale Game that I have played, following Tales from the Borderlands. I had high expectations going in as I had read that many people consider it the best of the bunch. All I actually knew about it was that it was about werewolves. Well.. that’s what I thought. … Continue reading “Review – The Wolf Among Us – PS4”
Let’s Play – Erica
In my whole time of covering the PS Plus games, this is only the second game I have done a complete series of, following What Remains of Edith Finch. Erica is an FMV mystery thriller, and in classic narrative game style you get to make choices that determine the outcome of your story. I have … Continue reading “Let’s Play – Erica”
Review – Tales from the Borderlands – PS4
Tales from the Borderlands is a game from Telltale Games, well known for their episodic, story driven, choice heavy games. This game follows on directly from Borderlands 2, although you don’t have to have played it. In fact, I knew nothing about the Borderlands games before I played this one. I noticed one day that … Continue reading “Review – Tales from the Borderlands – PS4”
Review – Brothers: a Tale of Two Sons – PS4
Brothers: a Tale of Two Sons is the story of two brothers on their epic quest to find medicine for their poorly father. You control both brothers throughout a variety of environments and situations in the fantasy world that they live in. At its heart it is an adventure 3D platformer. It is not a … Continue reading “Review – Brothers: a Tale of Two Sons – PS4”
Review – Saints Row: Gat Out Of Hell – PS4
‘Saints Row: Gat Out Of Hell’ is a DLC for ‘Saints Row IV’. It was free one month on PS Plus so I downloaded it. I bought ‘Saints Row: The Third’ for PS3 but never got around to playing it so this was my first experience of the Saints Row series. The only thing I … Continue reading “Review – Saints Row: Gat Out Of Hell – PS4”
Review: Journey – PS4
I had heard a lot about this strange little game and it was free one month on PS Plus so I jumped at the chance to play it. I had heard that it was only a short game and that people had such emotional reactions to it. I was very intrigued as to why everyone … Continue reading “Review: Journey – PS4”
Review – Life is Strange – PS4
Life is Strange is a 5 part Episodic game that introduces us to Max Caulfield – A budding photography student at the prestigious Blackwell Academy.

Review – Beyond: Two Souls – PS3
Beyond: Two Souls is a game that follows the life of Jodie Holmes (Ellen Page), a girl who has a permanent connection with an unknown entity named Aiden. The game consists of 24 chapters taking place during different periods of Jodies life. We see the struggles of her growing up with her ‘gift’, including the … Continue reading “Review – Beyond: Two Souls – PS3”
Review – Until Dawn – PS4
Until Dawn is a Horror Survival Game with a difference. It plays similar to Heavy Rain, by which I mean your choices determine the outcome of the game. The butterfly effect system means that certain things that you do or choices that you make can hugely change your game, making everyone’s first play-through unique to … Continue reading “Review – Until Dawn – PS4”
Let’s Chat About – What Remains of Edith Finch
When a game worms its way into your brain as much a What Remains of Edith Finch did there is only one thing you can do. Sit down and hash it out with yourself for half an hour. This is one of the first Let’s Chat video/podcasts that I made, where I did a deep … Continue reading “Let’s Chat About – What Remains of Edith Finch”
PS Plus – June 2020
After the relaxed month of May, June turned out to be all action. While it technically shouldn’t have been ‘my month’, it turned out to be probably the most fun month I have had since I started this project. Call of Duty: WWII almost had my interest before I played but not too much. I … Continue reading “PS Plus – June 2020”
PS Plus – May 2020
This month was the month of chill. Or simulation/management games to be exact. A lot of people weren’t happy. These were both games that I wanted to try but didn’t want to buy, and that makes it the best type of PS Plus month in my opinion Cities Skylines is a game that I had … Continue reading “PS Plus – May 2020”
PS Plus – April 2020
April arrived, and this time I only got to make one video. More on that below. PS. They went heavy with the Playstation Exclusives so far this year! Dirt Rally 2.0 is a car game, the first racing/sports type game that we have got with PS Plus this year. I am not a fan of … Continue reading “PS Plus – April 2020”
PS Plus – March 2020
After being spoiled for the first two months of 2020, March brought us back down to 2 games. Shadow of the Colossus is a game I had been hoping for for a long time. It was such an interesting experience, I don’t think I have ever been more uncomfortable playing a game in my life. … Continue reading “PS Plus – March 2020”
PS Plus – February 2020
We got 4 games in January, so Sony decided they were going to one up themselves and give us 5 for February. Firewall: Zero Hour was a bonus PSVR game provided in February. Unfortunately I don’t have a video for that as I was having some PSVR/Capture Card issues. BioShock: The Collection contains not only … Continue reading “PS Plus – February 2020”
PS Plus – January 2020
The first month of 2020 and instead of 2 we were given 4 games! Sadly for me I already own both. Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection contains all three of the Uncharted games, remastered in all of their glory. Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, Uncharted: Among Thieves and Uncharted: Drake’s Deception. Drake’s Fortune was the second ever … Continue reading “PS Plus – January 2020”
PS Plus 2019 – Top 10 Games
I was a bit late to make this video but it was the first list type video that I made and I would like to continue over the years! Disclaimer – these are my own personal picks that may or may not differ to everyone elses. There were a lot of good games in 2019 … Continue reading “PS Plus 2019 – Top 10 Games”
PS Plus – 2019
Sadly I don’t have monthly blogs for PS Plus of 2019. I do, however, have a lot of content on Youtube. There are videos of every single game as well as Round Ups of every month. Then I did a longer video as a summary of the whole year. For reference, I am going to … Continue reading “PS Plus – 2019”
Steam Game Festival: Summer Edition 2020 – Top Game Picks
I tried something a little different this time. Since I have now played so many of these demos, I thought it would be helpful for anyone new to the festival to have a guide to know where to start. So this time I have made a more comprehensive quickfire guide of games that I think … Continue reading “Steam Game Festival: Summer Edition 2020 – Top Game Picks”
Steam Game Festival: Summer Edition 2020
The Steam Game Festival has well and truly grown, as shown at the Summer Edition 2020. Now containing hundreds of demos, the event has become something that everyone should mark on their calendar.

LudoNarraCon 2020 – 6 Indie Narrative Games to Watch out for
For my highlight video of the LudoNarraCon 2020 I only included the games that I played for the first time during this festival. Meaning, I didn’t want to repeat games from my Steam Game Festival: Spring Edition 2020 video. Instead, I hand picked my top 6 experiences from the new demos I played. Here are … Continue reading “LudoNarraCon 2020 – 6 Indie Narrative Games to Watch out for”
LudoNarraCon 2020
After covering the Steam Game Festival: Spring Edition 2020 I was looking forward to the Summer Edition. Little did I know that the LudoNarraCon 2020 was just around the corner. Basically, it is the same type of event as the Steam Game Festival, except this one is solely focused on narrative games. It’s like it … Continue reading “LudoNarraCon 2020”
Steam Game Festival: Spring Edition 2020 – Top 10 Demos
Of the 20 demos that I tried I during the Steam Game Festival: Spring Edition 2020 I managed to narrow it down to my top 10! All here for different reasons, I am confident there are some gems. I am going to be keeping my eye on them all to see how they do during … Continue reading “Steam Game Festival: Spring Edition 2020 – Top 10 Demos”
Steam Game Festival: Spring Edition 2020
The first Steam Game Festival that got my attention was the Winter Edition 2019, where around 8 game demos were available to try for a couple of days. I didn’t make any content about them at the time but I tried 4 of them – Spiritfarer and The Drifter being stand outs – and had … Continue reading “Steam Game Festival: Spring Edition 2020”
Review – Heavy Rain – PS3

The story unfolds as you play from the point of … Continue reading “Review – Heavy Rain – PS3”
Let’s Play – Portal
I managed to go 13 years without getting this game spoiled. Pretty impressive. I am not a fan of first person games but I knew this game was a classic and when I picked it up extremely cheap on Steam I knew I had to play it.. if for any reason for the history lesson. … Continue reading “Let’s Play – Portal”
Let’s Play – What Remains of Edith Finch
What Remains of Edith Finch was the first full play-through I did of a free PS Plus game since I started covering the monthly games on my channel. It was already on my radar but playing through the first story had me sold. And it kept getting better. This is another game that I would … Continue reading “Let’s Play – What Remains of Edith Finch”
Let’s Play – Marvel’s Spider-Man PS4
Marvel’s Spider-Man PS4 was my first time recording an open world game. And also probably my last. As a massive MCU fan I was extremely exited for this game. I pre-ordered and decided I was going to cover the game on my channel. In hindsight, I probably would have been better off just playing it … Continue reading “Let’s Play – Marvel’s Spider-Man PS4”
Let’s Play – The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit
The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit is a short, free, prequel to Life is Strange 2. I played Life is Strange before I started YouTubing. It is a prime example of a game that I wished I had recorded so I could have shared my thoughts and looked back on the experience. So when this … Continue reading “Let’s Play – The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit”
Let’s Play – The Vanishing of Ethan Carter – Abandoned
What initially started as a Let’s Play unfortunately got abandoned. This is a very important statement – I do not do horror. This game started out so well. I was so impressed by the detective sections and the puzzles. It felt so great to play. Then came the moment. A moment that scarred me to … Continue reading “Let’s Play – The Vanishing of Ethan Carter – Abandoned”
Let’s Play – Detroit: Become Human
Detroit: Become Human was the first brand new game that I did a Let’s Play of.. and it did not disappoint. Developed by Quantic Dream, I missed the era of Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls, so I could not have been more excited for this one. I get very immersed in story games and … Continue reading “Let’s Play – Detroit: Become Human”
Let’s Play – Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy
This game was.. an experience. Being a huge fan of Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls, playing Quantic Dreams previous title felt like a no brainer. Although I have played the full game and watched a fair bit back, I am not entirely sure I could tell you what it is about. It starts great … Continue reading “Let’s Play – Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy”
Let’s Play – The Nonary Games: 999
My third Let’s Play and my longest to date! Not my first ever visual novel but my first in a very long time. My blind play-through of The Nonary Games:999 is probably my most watched series to date. I am so pleased with how it went, especially the order that I got my endings. It … Continue reading “Let’s Play – The Nonary Games: 999”
Let’s Play – Uncharted: Drakes Fortune
This was my second Let’s Play, and to be honest my first proper attempt at playing a shooter that isn’t Grand Theft Auto. I think I did okay, considering! This is my blind play-through of Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. When I decided to play the game I had no idea that it takes the turn it … Continue reading “Let’s Play – Uncharted: Drakes Fortune”
Let’s Play – Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture
My first ever Let’s Play, back when I recorded and edited everything on the PS4 console and made my thumbnails on Microsoft Paint! Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture is a Walking Simulator set in the fictional British village of Yaughton. Wandering around, we get to know the residents and start to unravel the mysteries of … Continue reading “Let’s Play – Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture”
