Why GTA San Andreas is still the best open world game of all time
GTA San Andreas. Still to this day, one of the best open world games ever made. Personally, for me, it is still my favourite game of all time. What a game it was. With the upcoming remaster for the original trilogy, (Known as GTA the trilogy - definitive edition), and with me recently getting the platinum trophy for the original version of San Andreas, I thought it would be a great time to talk about this masterpiece.

Loot boxes in video games : is it gambling and should it be legal?
Why Gaming is Important to the teaching of history
The topic of history is taught throughout education, through books, through documentaries and more importantly, through entertainment. History can be taught in so many ways and in a day and age where we as people crave entertainment more and more and the demands keep rising, I believe the most effective way to learn is through enjoyment and is vital to our learning process.
It is no mystery that the human brain learns more when something is enjoyable. If something is interesting, you learn and process the information, not just more effectively, but you will naturally remember it later on. |
What I hope to see in PES 2017
So we have seen the unveiling of PES, so far they have revealed the gameplay, the already steller gameplay is getting more improvements, such as much needed improved goalkeepers, even more animations and improved graphics and more, upping the authenticity of the players on an already great looking, great feeling and authentic PES.
However there are things that they have not spoke about yet, things that must be improved and something I expect to see. |
What I am hoping and expecting to see on FIFA 17
With PES closing the gap between the two by creating much more convincing gameplay making a stale sluggish FIFA seem even less authentic, it gives EA even more reason to try to push the boundaries of FIFA.
I have a theory on what I believe is going on at the EA FIFA studios. I believe that there is a truly next gen huge overhaul in the works but it wasn’t ready. Ambitious games usually take a long time to develop. |
Throwback game of the month: The Virtua Tennis Series
The Virtua Tennis Series
You might be thinking it's unusual to regard a tennis game series as a classic video game franchise. However, it was something truely unique at the time. Sports games are not taken very seriously in the game industry and the hardcore gamer often disregards sports games. However I disagree, I love sport almost as much as I love video games, so when the two combine, I think its a fantastic fusion if done correctly. Not to forget that we also do not get tennis games anymore and havent had one for years. I was a huge fan of the series back in the day and it was something different to play in a market dominated by various other great genres. Ladies and Gentlemen... Virtua Tennis |
Throwback game of the month: GTA 3
You could do the unthinkable in GTA 3 and there were almost no limits at the time (apart from not being able to swim). It was a game that was almost shocking to some and raised a lot of news headlines of it being so violent. There was something satisfying about shooting random people and jacking cars and causing absolute carnage in an open world that felt alive at the time. Doing things you wouldn’t dare to do in real life, for some reason was so fun to mess around being a dangerous psychopath in a video game. It added something new to the gaming space. For me and to many, GTA 3 will be remembered forever, it changed gaming forever. Hats off to Rockstar. The first game of the fantastic PS2 Grand Theft Auto Trilogy, Grand Theft Auto 3 ladies and gentlemen.

No Squad update. Konami/PES shot themselves in the foot. |
There is some brutal truths behind Konami that really holds back PES from really being taken seriously this year. Essentially Konami have shot themselves in the foot. They have got the big things right but failed on the fundamental basics that has damaged the reputation of PES. The main controviousy being 3 month out of date squads at launch. Worse yet, information has come out that it won’t be ready until late October. This is absolutely ludicrous.
