Review of Tomb Raider 2013
For my 14th Christmas I was bought an original Playstation along with a copy of the newly-released Tomb Raider 2. On boxing day I sat there, transfixed to the screen, trying to work out how to traverse the Great Wall of China with two tigers hot after my blood. After a good few hours of…

Interview with Lyndon Holland
One of my favourite soundtracks, and a recent obsession of mine, has been the soundtrack to the game Virginia by Lyndon Holland.

Bring home the bacon – A review of the game Virginia
One of the marks of a great game is its ability to stay with you long after you’ve finished playing it.

Usually these memorable games are pretty…

Virginia Soundtrack by Lyndon Holland
In Virginia the soundtrack is a first-class citizen. It’s not simply just a well-written collection of pieces made for each scene, but additionally is a living, breathing creature itself. It weaves its way through you when listening, conjuring images either from the rural Virginia of the game’s setting, or any other place you care to find…

Who You Selling For by The Pretty Reckless
“Who You Selling For” by The Pretty Reckless sounds to me to be their most ambitious album to date. Their third full album release sees them stepping up their game, incorporating fresh sounding elements while still holding on to that signature “Reckless” sound.
