Forza Horizon 3 is the latest title in the Horizon spin off games from the Forza series. Unlike previous entries, Horizon 3 takes the limits out of the occasion and allows you to free-roam across Australia. This new-found freedom really shines in Horizon 3, the different vehicle types are fun to drive across the varied landscape, be it buggies over sand, off-roaders over mud or sports cars over tarmac. It’s certainly a fun game, but does it live up to the various claims of it being the best racing game ever made? As a ‘next-gen’ racing game, Forza Horizon 3 looks very good, the detail of the cars is astounding and the environments look great as well. One thing I noticed however was that the shadows during the daytime didn’t move smoothly across the ground but rather juddered. It isn’t very noticeable when you’re racing across the countryside at high speed, however when you stop to take in the surroundings or just for a quick break, it’ll become very obvious. Another thing I noticed w...

There’s no doubt that Halo 5 is a very polarizing title within the community. People seem to either love it or hate it. As 343 Industries second entry into the Halo franchise (Barring the MCC and Spartan Assault/Strike games) This was generally going to be a ‘make or break’ game for fans of the franchise.

Osiris are tasked with tracking him down as well as discovering what’s causing widespread destruction across UNSC colonies.  People who watched the trailers and additional media approaching Halo 5’s launch will remember that a lot of it focused on Chief going rogue and Locke (Leader of Fireteam Osiris) hunting him down, pitting them agai...

Why I set up this Blog For a while it's been a dream of mine to work for myself, a dream I'm sure many people share. This is what lead me to the creation of this blog. For me it represents an opportunity to make money for myself, even if it's just a small amount. I think it's a good start in learning how to make money online. I decided that at the start of 2018 I would set up the blog, so it was my New Years Resolution, I suppose. I plan to write at least one post a week, as I'm still in college and cannot devote all my time to this. Once I finish college I may start posting more frequent updates. Also due to how demanding college can be at times, there may be weeks where I don't make a post so that I can focus on college work. What you can expect from this blog Reviews Progress updates Opinion pieces Reviews: These will probably be the most common type of content you'll see from this blog. Whether it be about a videogame, movie or book; ...
