'Tomb Raider': Classic vs Reboot
When people ask me what my favourite gaming franchise is, my answer has always been Tomb Raider, and I'm pretty sure it always will be. It was the franchise that first got me into gaming as a young girl, after many fun-filled hours of playing it with my Grandad. Also, Tomb Raider I was released in same year that I was born. I firmly believe that, even without these ties of sentiment or nostalgia, I would still have an affinity for Lara Croft. I mean, what's not to love about a strong woman who travels the world, beating all the bad guys and finding lots of relics?

'Day R Survival': Review
I recently was looking through the Play Store on my phone out of boredom and this one caught my eye. I kept an eye on it for a while and it's done a lot of updates and added new stuff to the game. This is Day R Survival or as some titles make it, Day R Survival Apocalypse. Lone Survivor Games changed its name to Day R Survival. Day R Survival is a mobile phone game only available for Google Play/Android; the publishers are tltGames.

How To: Level Up Your PC Without Breaking the Bank!. Top Story - September 2017.
One thing is for certain; gaming isn't a cheap hobby. Especially PC gaming. Technology is expanding at an extremely rapid pace and one day your computer may be able to handle all the new next generation games, while a couple days later something even greater is released and its time to upgrade that old graphics card again. Or if you're a student like me, you may not have 1000 dollars just burning a hole in your pocket to spend on a good enough computer that can handle Destiny 2 or COD:WW2 (Totally a Battlefield 1 copy by the way).

5 Tips For Playing Better Druids
The wardens of the wild, druids are seen as strange, primitive, and powerful. The keepers of nature, these casters are empowered by a force that's often older than the gods, allowing them to bend the raw elements to their cause. While they may be good, evil, or otherwise, there is no denying the potency of a druid who has chosen to take the field.

Mass Defective or Not? In Defense of Mass Effect: Andromeda
Mass Effect: Andromeda. So many Youtube videos I've watched and posts I've read online have gone to town on the game, most of the criticism being aimed at wonky character models and animations, while some have also been critical of the story and the characters not being as good as the characters from the previous trilogy. And while I can't say that some of their points aren't valid, I do feel that some of the players were a bit harder on the game than it needed to be, and in fact, I feel like their overabundance of criticism and the response that Bioware had—to put the game on the shelf rather than doing anything else—was the wrong reaction. It wasn't wrong that they disliked the game, no—they have every right to. But, I feel that maybe their expectations were a bit too high going into it, and that these high expectations led to the game falling apart.

It is no secret that Indie games have been increasing in popularity at an impressive rate for a number of years now and, in many ways, are held in higher regard than the big company’s titles. What exactly is the reason for this trend and where have AAA titles gone wrong?

Handsome Jack – The Best Game Villain Ever?
Potential spoilers for any who have not completed Borderlands 2. So I will just admit right off the bat that I am a big fan of Handsome Jack (edit: very big understatement, consider revising at a later date). It makes me seriously question my morality, but I can't help but adore this guy - sure, he might have an ego the size of a small moon, he might be a bit of a sociopath and he has a penchant for choking people (oops, sorry — I meant strangling — big difference).
