Innocuous

I've never been a massive fan of the Gears Of War franchise. The whole idea of just war continuously being at war and fighting through just repeatedly. It's great if you have a friend with you, and that is what this game needs. The game has some depth of detail on the characters and even gives you Gears Of War 4 back story at the introduction. But it doesn't give you the full details. There is depth to the characters though, and you have a whole new one to upgrade this time. His name is Dave, and you can upgrade him to do things like restore health or push enemies out of cover. You can even play as the robot if you play two-player. There is also a new action, stab and you can now pick up things from afar using Dave. Apart from that, it's all the controls you used to know.

Vampire: The Masquerade. If you know anything about vampire games, then this will have likely been one game you’ve played. It’s an old game that brought out by Troika Games back in 2004. The game had a lot of problems, but the fans loved it, so much that they started to fix the game. The gaming company went bust after release and never could afford to patch the game.

As a Victorian history buff myself, I love these little 1 hour podcasts. From secrets of the freak shows to murder most foul, this podcast will have something that you didn't know before about your own history. Although after his game show QI, Stephen Fry is not my most trusted of historians. This podcast is mostly snippets from others reading or being interviewed about their specialised subjects. A podcast I thought I would hate I quite enjoyed. 

It breaks the very idea that ordinary Victorians that they were all about hard work and 'none to do' with people. Some extracts from the Victorian's are so funny that you'll be on the floor laughing and some will make you red with embarrassment. For example, the fact that two twins got married, or that there is a library of the most significant Victorian porn down the road from you. Want to find out where? Or who? Well, you'll just have to listen for yourself. 

If it wasn't for the poverty of the time, it makes you want to go back in time. In a doctor who type of way.

In a steam and electric London that is being hounded by a serial killer where T.Aaron Payton brings clockwork prostitutes and cruel diseases that change the sex of the infected. This book is not only funny but gripping.

If you haven't read steampunk before this might be one you want to start with.

"Borderlands 3!" yell that in a crowd and you may get trapped in a frenzy of excited gamers. There is a good reason too. 2K has always blessed the gaming community with Borderlands, and I say blessed because the games are immensely popular. If you haven't heard of them, then let me give you the lowdown.

We had Borderlands one where you had to travel a distant planet - Pandora, to hunt down an alien vault.

Hello dear readers,

CD Projekt, the company behind the game Cyberpunk, has said in an interview that the player will create gender natural or transgender characters. Included in the Metro article, they noted that you will also be able to gay relationships. This all sounds very promising for CD Projekt as they have had some criticism over their other games such as The Witcher series. 




Cyberpunk is also getting multiplayer, but this will come after launch. 







Not only can the world around you adapt around you, but the characters relationships with you can go different ways depending on your interactions. 



I like the idea behind this game, and it makes so much sense to prolong the release date to make a better version of it. One thing I know for sure is this will be a Witcher 3 level of sales or maybe more now that they plan to include multiplayer. I don't think I'll be playing the multiplayer though. I've never played with others, and when games have multiplayer, they lose their storyline (not always the case). With a release date, next April lets hope that they live up to their expectations that we all have.

Anthony Horowitz is known for his murder mysteries from the beloved detective Sherlock Holmes, but this Atticus Pünd book will take you on a ride you never will forget. When Editor Susan Ryeland is given the manuscript of Alan Conway’s latest novel, it is to be his final novel of the series. But killing off Atticus Pünd might be more of a debacle than Alan Conway ever counted on.


This best-seller will have you whipped off your seat with these twists and turns. An old styled murder mystery that has not one but two murders. I never saw the twists coming, and that made this book so enjoyable. If it weren't already on the bestsellers list, it would be a find like no other.

My View:
I love this book, and I think it will always have a place in my heart. As one of those lovers of old-fashioned books, I have to admit that this will be hard to beat. The only thing I would say and I feel this is because the setting there weren't any exciting characters. I didn't feel drawn to anyone; it was all the mystery and the not a lot of background. Then again, it is written to be his final book, and it gives that impression from the name and the way it is written. He has thought of everything to bring you closer to that experience of an authentic murder mystery series.

Audiobook:
To be honest, I didn't think much of the audiobook's content. I thought Susan was well-voiced, but it's hard because the book is meant to be read and not listened to.
I'd rank this book in my ever favourites if I had to star. It'd be five out of five and four out of five for the audiobook.
