Reviews of Games
This week has been E3, which is basically like gaming heaven if you're a gamer. It's a giant expo in Los Angeles where a bunch of publishers announce all the new and exciting things they're working on, releasing and all that jazz. I never usually do E3 pieces because I rate you've likely seen everything from the big gaming media hanging out at the event but…
"Games Journalism" is not about spitting your opinion all over the internet. In fact, the best journalists (games or otherwise) are the ones who are able to present all the facts to you, both sides, and allow you to determine how you feel or what is "right" or "wrong".

I am a video game snob. I know you're not supposed to judge a book by its cover, or a game by its screenshots, but I also have working eyes (when I'm wearing my glasses) and judge I do.

Unlike most gamers my age, I never grew up playing the LEGO games, instead, I spent my childhood taking real-life risks navigating my LEGO covered bedroom floor.

On Sea of Thieves’ first birthday, Rare announced their Anniversary Update that will be launching April 30th, and boy am…
I have a problem. If I'm honest I have way more than just one singular problem. But the problem I want to chat about today takes centre stage: I am totally and completely addicted to my Nintendo Switch. Yes, laugh away but it's true. Since taking the Switch out of its box for Christmas (it was a gift), it has not left my hands, and again…
My name is Sam, though I'm also known as Tech Girl. I'm an esports host and shoutcaster. I work around the world on rad esports competitions. I've worked on PUBG Europe League, Overwatch Contenders and a bunch of fun Nintendo Europe events. I also create content around tech, gaming and esports. Links to all my various platforms are here on the blog. You can find out more in the about section (you'll also find ways to contact me there). I'm a giant nerd and secretly wish I could be one of the X-Men!
