Waddya Buyin’? Armored Core V

I’ll be visiting family over the next few weeks, so I don’t think I’ll be getting much chance to play games. Not unless I want to lug my console along with me for miles and miles. Visiting family in my case often involves an 8-hour flight, humid tropical weather, cheap food and beer with ice. [...]

Waddya Buyin’? Journey

You all may be tired by now of my (almost) constant whinging about money. But this week marks the start of another extended period of new game abstinence. It’s a real shame as well, because major releases are seriously ramping up. But over the weekend, I had a discussion with my wife about my laptop [...]

Waddya Buyin’? Mass Effect 3

It was a hell of a day at work yesterday. I was in no shape to getting round to my usual Monday post. But as I tweeted from the Pixel Hunt twitter account, there shouldn’t be much surprise as to what I’ll be buying this week. I absolutely loved the past Mass Effect games, and [...]

Waddya Buyin’? SSX

I never thought that I’d be interested in a game like this. I’ve never been a fan of the sub-genre of XTREME sports games. Tony Hawk never did anything for me. Neither did Skate, or Kelly Slater Pro Surf, or any other game of that ilk. I’ve messed around with some of the previous SSX [...]

We all know that Syndicate has been refused classification in Australia, but any gamers worth their salt could (hypothetically) circumvent those restrictions. It’s not hard [...]

Waddya Buyin’? Tribes: Ascend

If this isn’t clear by now, let me state my personal situation once more: I’ve got a baby, and I’m saving money for a new laptop Both these conditions have put me in a position where I need to be far more discerning about my game purchases, and my expenditure in general. iOS games are [...]

Waddya Buyin’? Soul Calibur 5

It’s a tough week of decisions for new game purchases. Because ever since I talked about buying a new laptop, I’ve been trying to set aside money for it. It’s a hard task saving money, and it’s even harder when I’ve got a habit to support. I’ve had to not only cut back on game [...]

Waddya Buyin’? SOL: Exodus

There must be something in the air because this is the third space-themed game in as many weeks. But in my mind, that’s a good thing. The space-sim genre has been waning in the past years, so it’s genuinely exciting whenever a new one comes along. I remember a time when these games were plentiful. [...]
