Studio Santa Monica’s God of War from 2018 is one of my favourite games in recent memory (despite what the dear editor of this esteemed site thinks of it), which they deftly followed up with God of War Ragnarok.
I sank numerous hours into the original game, featuring grizzled and rough-edged god Kratos (although he’s trying to find his softer side) and his son Atreus, and then did the same with the sequel in 2022.

“Boy, this isn’t game!” – Yes, it is…it’s God of War Ragnarök, one of the best games around!
God of War (2018) was one of the stand-out games of the PS4 generation.
The next entry, God of War: Ragnarök has finally arrived on PS5 and once again Kratos and his “Boy”, Atreus, have a new adventure through Norse mythology.
After almost 20hrs I can say with confidence, it will be atop many Game of the Year lists in 2022.

A new year and another PS4 console game has made the jump to PC, with Santa Monica Studio’s God of War now available to PC gamers – and what a beauty it is.
When the game came out on console in 2018 it quickly became the poster child for how a talented development team could make games on Sony’s console sing.
On PC the graphical fidelity has been turned all the way up to 11 – and it looks bloody fantastic.

How do you take a big angry Spartan, who has a thing for killing Gods, ripping out eyeballs and taking sexy baths with naked ladies and turn him into a complex, heart-broken character, who is a father that knows he isn’t up to the responsibility of the role.
Well if you are Sony, you give Santa Monica Studios a boat load of money, a heap of time and the creative freedom to completely re-imagine what it is to be a God Of War.

Hey team, here are a couple of spoiler free videos I have chucked together, showing some of the Combat I have struck in the opening hours of God of War.
A review is inbound, but unless you have been under a rock or totally offline, I’m sure you are aware that there is no shortages of ’10/10s’ getting chucked around the web.

We would normally stay away from reposting a Press Release, but hey this is pretty, real pretty and when you think Sony Flagship title Kratos stands neck and neck with Nathan Drake.
So here it is….and let’s hope the Gods smile kindly on us.

Alienware’s M15 R6 gaming laptop is a beast of a machine. Clad in Alienware’s dark side of the moon colour scheme, the laptop looks nice as soon as it comes out of the box and ticks all the required boxes for a gaming laptop.
As a long time Intel CPU user, the i7 11800H CPU performed excellently in everything I threw at it, as well. It’s a winning combination.
A big thanks to Intel ANZ for providing the laptop for us to review.

Doom: Eternal’s stunning balance of strategy and aggression won it a place on the much coveted “Guys Top 3 Games of 2020” list. Now, Doom: Eternal The Ancient Gods: Pt2 has dropped and I have happily descended back into the depths of DLC Hell to shoot some demons in the face.
Picking up from the cliff-hanger at the end of Ancient Gods: part 1. Doom-Guys doppelganger is the ‘champion of hell’ and needs to be dealt with.
As I said in my original review and my part 1 DLC write-up. Doom Eternal does not have a story worth worrying about.
Take it as read, it’s about Heaven vs Hell, demons and monsters….. and its honestly nonsensical shite, and not the reason we play Doom.

Doom: Eternal – The Ancient Gods
I was not a fan of Doom 2016. However, whilst reviewing Doom: Eternal I succumbed to the dark-arts of ID Softwares game design.
Doom: Eternal became my favorite First Person Shooter of 2020, hands down! So, obviously I jumped at the chance to go back into hell and play the new DLC.
If you haven’t played Doom: Eternal, them shame on you, go play it now! Then play its DLC, The Ancient Gods.
I will happily receive your thanks in written and gift form.

Over this weekend I got all hot and sweaty. I immersed myself back into the Multi-Player world of Call of Duty.
Something I haven’t done in many years, as the ridiculous, bombastic, sci-fi direction CoD has taken in the last 10 years has not grabbed me. Well, CoD: Modern Warfare 2019 is going to change all that.
The prospect of a contemporary, realistic shooter peaked my interest when I saw the Campaign trailer earlier this year. It seriously looks like my cup of tea. So when a code for the M/P Beta hit my emails I couldn’t help but go for a look.
