“From a legitimate artistic exhibition that showcased the talents of the development teams and the political maturity games software finds itself charting, to a return visit to one of my favourite global stores and concluding with a behemoth release that in truth continues to both impress and frustrate in equal measures.” Continue reading A Gaming Year in Review 2018

As he posted recently, a few of us from the ATB camp have decided to … Continue reading Nate’s 10 Favourite Movie Themes
“A wealth and abundance of riches, choosing a single piece from this composer whose scores are as renowned as the worlds he brings to life in his compositions was daunting prospect. A number of his tracks have had a different impact on me as I have grown up and become aware of the impact he alone has had on the cultural resonance.” Continue reading 10 Composers, 10 Great Movie Themes
