Point and click adventure games are a thing of the past for a reason. There something about the camera angles and axis differentiation that doesn’t gel with today’s modernisation of gaming - shuffling conveyorbelt-like through a level going from one piece of obvious cover to another like you’re taking part in an episode of the generation game as hosted by Marcus Fenix. Back in the day they seemed fine when we weren’t much more than confused naive children taken in by plinky plunky music and bright colours, but nowadays gaming has become more refined - or maybe accurately more linear - and the cod playing Neanderthals of today can’t piece together the batshit logic of the adventure game designer of the moment.

Disney's Brave

Scotland is filled with historical castles and misty moors.

There’s a lot of history that comes with Scotland, a lot of interesting places and
monuments, exports and even famous people such as Sir Alex Ferguson, Ewan
Mcgregor and J.K Rowling.

Screw talking about all of that though, instead today I’m going to talk about a
bright-eyed, colourful version of Scotland where little can go wrong, that’s right
we’re in Disney town.

Escape The Dark Castle

A dark, dingy place infested with god knows what. Rats scurry past your feet, the stench of death lingers in the air and, as the last flickering torch peters out, your belief in salvation from this place peters out with it. But enough about the Job Centre. 

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

Everyone knows the Star Wars franchise. It’s a pillar of nerd culture, has produced three good films (although die hard fans will argue the prequels to the ends of the earth) and spawned a tonne of products wearing the Star Wars Skin like creepy nerdy Leatherfaces.
