Iceland. We've got a heatwave at the moment and I could do with going to a pretty, cold country that is pretty cold. Looks tranquil, peaceful. And cold.

Out of PS3 and PS4 you might be better off with the PS3. The new consoles have a lack of games coming out in 2014 and virtually all but the most demanding PS4 games will be available on PS3. The PS3 has built up a library of titles over the years and there are some real classics in there. I only...

Well, Harbinger is the billion year old slaughterer of thousands of civilisations and I'm the 24 year old maker of sandwiches. I chose synthesis, does that hurt my chances?

They managed to stick a fighting game (QTE heavy, admittedly) in The Last of Us without it being out of place. Well played, Left Behind. Whether the DLC's story had a profound effect on the main arc or not there were some really nice twists on the gameplay. Brick Master, supersoaker...

Its only worth the money if you are going to play it to absolute destruction. Getting all the trophys, all the unlockables, all the S ranks would require you to master the game, which will take time. There is good variety in the side missions considering they take place in the same level. If...

Wow, there's a game I haven't thought about in a decade or so. Ridiculously thick manual, really bland box which was enough to convince child me I should own it, 30 training missions before getting to the actual missions. I'll be honest after going through that manual over two days and failing...

In pretty much any game with upgradable weapons I'll find myself grinding through it with the second weapon you come across. The one that is very definitely superior to your starter weapon and you've gotten used to by the time the flashy, expensive weapons show up. Mass Effect 3 I went...

Going in chronological order you are gonna miss out on a lot of the references to older games that happened later in the series' timeline. The advantage is to see the progression of Big Boss from MGS3 through Peace Walker into his villain roles in the Metal Gears and his mythical status in...

The Pupa, oh god, the Pupa. That was very nearly my "F*** this" boss playing Peace Walker. All the bosses get easier when replaying with superior weapons but on the first it is just a war of attrition. The PSP triggers' gift for bending your fingers into unnatural positions just adds to this...

Team Leader - Big Boss (Peace Walker time period) Weapons Expert - Cipher (Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War) - assuming he has his plane or he is likely roundly screwed. Muscle - Matty H (WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2006) - unbeaten CAW from a game I only stopped playing last year, didn't even...

I couldn't honestly see it being a healthy relationship. Constant jibes about how I were "dust in cosmic wind" and a blatant disdain for my entire species. In the end it'd work out in one of three ways, I'd wind up controlling them, we'd merge into one being or one of us would destroy the other...

You see I always thought the lingering ass shots in Miranda's conversation were a way to manipulate the user to side with Miranda the way a male Shepard might be. She was genetically crafted as the perfect women, one advantage being to use her looks to influence people. I thought it was a clever...

Bubblewrap. Bubblewrap everywhere. None of it pops. None of it.

If you want to start having sex with people of the same gender go ahead. If you are thinking about it already it is probably fair to say you are attracted to men. If you are not and simply want to have more sex with more people then perhaps be less discerning, go on Craiglist, join a club...

For a long time my favourite was World War Z and I think it still has that top spot. Enough people have said it already I probably don't need to extoll its virtues here. Challenging for that top spot is The Forever War by Joe Haldeman. It has two great hooks that set up a very human and...
