Video Games, Victorian Style

When I sit down and think about it, my gaming habits have been mostly shaped by option value. So is it time to rethink how I buy videogames?
-
I don’t play online games. There was about a month there in 2010 where Battlefield: Bad Company 2 on the trusty PlayStation 3 was the Sandy to my Danny Zuko. And it’s about to fly away.

Can’t bloody wait! I’ll post my first impressions as soon as I can. Personally, I’ll be booting up Starfox 2 first, probably followed by Secret of Mana – I missed that JRPG first time around, so it will be great to finally give it a whirl. What games are you lot most looking forward to?

Stay a while and listen while I break from my usual M.O. of reviewing hoards of games to recount an offbeat tale of railguns and romance. It was some time ago, so far back that I can’t quite recall the exact year, but I can narrow it down to near the end of the previous…

What do you get if you cross the iconic Sonic Youth album Goo… …with the similarly iconic PlatinumGames JRPG Nier: Automata? This utterly awesome T-shirt, that’s what: I. Love. It. It arrived from the US yesterday, along with a whopping customs charge – but it was worth the money. If you want one of your…

The other week, I wrote an article about why everyone seems to hate GAME, and I mentioned that about the only other remaining high street video game chains in the UK are CEX and Grainger Games. But I’d never actually set foot in a branch of Grainger Games until now. Grainger Games started in 1996…

Today I’m going to talk to you about The Witness again. I spoke very briefly about it once before, but this time I’d like to take that analysis a few steps further, as well as discussing what it all means about why and how we play games, why this game has attained the dreaded label…

You may have noticed it’s been a bit quiet in The Manor lately. Sir Gaulian announced his retirement in February (although he’s promised to pop back in to say hello when the fancy takes him), and I’ve been riotously busy with work, to the point where all blogging duties have ceased. However, things are a…

Finally, more than two years after its launch, I’ve bought a PS4. Hurrah! After blitzing my way through my backlog and selling a ton of games, I had the cash to hand. I spotted a sweet deal – a 500GB PS4 with No Man’s Sky, Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens, The Force Awakens Blu-ray and…

Happy Birthday us! On this very day five years ago, Sir Gaulian and I first embarked on our grand Victorian gaming adventures – and what a merry time it’s been. Many of the Victorian stylings have been dropped along the way, and the ambitious Choose Your Own Adventure game I started to create using nothing…

A Most Agreeable Pastime turns five in June and I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built here. I’m lucky to have an incredibly talented co-author on whoms coat tails I have so joyously ridden on for half of a decade. For every post I’ve written I’ve certainly become a better writer, due in no small part…
