My Mini Reviews of Games Played – October 2023

This is the final set of reviews to come out of this website, with any November and December reviews going on the new site in January. The PSVR article isn’t happening. The Nerd Rock was a fun project but it never realized it’s full potential. CraigPlaysGames will hopefully be a much better site, with much […]

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree – My Predictions

As we get closer to The Video Game Awards in December with no updates from FromSoftware regarding the DLC, it certainly seems like the stars are aligning for a full reveal at the event. That mean’s I’ve only got limited time to get my predictions out there, so I can revisit them post release. It […]

My Mini Reviews of Games Played – September 2023

Not that I’ve been particularly sticking with it, but I’ve technically met my quota of the monthly platinum trophies. I’m also tied for my most ever in a year – 14 (Even though last year was 17 – 14 + 3 transfer ones). Other than that, decent month for games. Seems like a shorter list, […]

My Mini Reviews of Games Played – July and August 2023

Behind the scenes, things are changing for the website and new plans are being formed. I’ll detail more later but this website is coming to an end with a new site to replace it. The reviews will be here until the end of the year. Pokemon Black 2 Developer: GameFreak | Platform: DS | Playtime: […]

Final Fantasy XVI Review

Developer: Creative Business Unit 3 (Square Enix) | Platform: PS5 | Playtime: 63:20 This review was written with the intention of being spoiler free, only touching on gameplay spoilers but reader discretion is advised. It took a while, but Final Fantasy is taking the series in a new direction – actual fantasy. I’m being facetious […]

My 20 Highlights from Summer Games Fest 2023

Not E3 Season has come and gone once again and with it a whole slew of livestream, events and showcases. While I couldn’t watch them all live, I’ve waited for the dust to settle and comprised a list of the most interesting games I saw. Release Dates Throughout the events we got plenty of release […]

My Mini Reviews of Games Played – June 2023

Between it being NotE3 Season, me having a variety of shifts, the massive heatwave this month and working on the VR article, it’s surprising that I got as many games played as I did. There was a summer theme running through the games this month which was by design. It’s funny how many games I […]

My Mini Reviews of Games Played – May 2023

A quieter month this month, but still a very enjoyable one. The first half dedicated to finishing Jedi Survivor and playing Tears of the Kingdom while the second half being dominated by playing old favourites with new challenges. Sometimes the simpler months are the best. (Postponed) The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Developer: […]

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor – Review

Developer: Respawn Entertainment | Platform: PS5 | Playtime: 25:40 | Platinum: 42:05 Some people may not remember a time where EA hated single player games, but it was a thing. It wasn’t until Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order did absolute bits financially and critically that they U-turned into supporting these titles. Three years on, we […]

The Nerd Rock – T1 Games Summary

Since I missed the Year in Review for 2022, I thought it could be a cool idea to do an update every third on the games I’ve played, the challenges I’ve attempted, platinums etc. There’s not much to report on this first time around but it’s good to set the stage for the first time […]
