A little bit of information on me (20/04/16)
Hey Everyone I’m Tom! I’m currently 19 years old and studying Games Computing at University. I created this blog to do reviews, game development and general discussion and now its got it’s own domain name things are really looking up. Despite doing games I actually had a massive interest in Art and especially History at A-Level and GCSE.
A few courses I almost did at University instead of games were Interior Design, Architecture, History and robotics and I almost ended up at De Montfort University instead of my current one. (Hey any readers from there!)
I currently run 3 gaming channels.
I’m originally from the Midlands in England and I am by far one of the whitest people you will ever meet, thanks Nintendo! I have several game projects running but they are usually background work for when I’m not busy developing Games and other work for University. I’m mainly English but I am partly West Indian though not a large amount.
If you want to hear anything else comment down below and I will reply and add it to the post for future readers. You’ve probably realised there’s no picture because I want to be reasonably anonymous, however if you were to go through every 19 year old British male with brown hair and brown eyes I would be one of them.
Anyway in the future I hope to give you an insight into exactly what’s going on in my life, whether it ends up in the form of a rant(probably) or just a story we’l have to see. Cya soon!

Can a video game be perfect?
Some have called the newly released Grand Theft Auto:V to be “perfect”.
Video games have always constantly been improving in a technical sense and a creative sense. Innovation shows the way forward for a video game to become the next big game. However can these big budget games or small independent developed games be perfect?
Rush Review
First of all I’m not a big racing fan, secondly I didn’t know the story of James Hunt and Niki Lauda. However I went to see the film and want to give my verdict on it.
A Game I bought recently – The Basement Collection
The Basement Collection (PC) A collection of Edmund Mcmillen’s not so stellar games, at an affordable price.(£2.99)
Edmund Mcmillen the creator of two of my favourite games Super Meat Boy and The Binding of Isaac. Previously having seen Indie Game: The Movie it made me want to look more into the early projects Edmund Mcmillen created. The Basement Collection features several games, unseen footage from Indie Game: The Movie, commentary’s about the different games, and little unlockables to get for the games ie for the game Spewer there is a particle test engine that you can mess with that Edmund Mcmillen himself used to help develop the game.

What should Nintendo do?
Nintendo has always been about the first party key titles. The problem is like with the Nintendo 3DS original launch they decided to lead with the third parties.

A Game I bought recently – Dead Pixel
Dead Pixel (Xbox,PC) Way better than I thought it would be!
Dead Pixel is the most recent game I’ve picked up which was incredibly cheap, even when it’s not £0.68 like when I picked it up today then its usually going for around £2. Honestly I probably would have ignored this game had I not seen it on offer, and had money left over in my Steam wallet.
