With great trepidation I sense I'm approaching the end of Guacamelee, the story of one man's fight against the forces of darkness as told through the medium of pro-wrestling. It's a story not often told much to the detriment of our lives.

Its a gap in your life you probably never realised was there until you played this game, least I never did. Colourful, witty and charming, its a puzzle platformer with a lot of good ideas. Here's hoping it gains some traction and spawns more exploits in the life of Juan, gaming's best luchador since, well, forever!

So I hope the game makers are out there reading this. More pro wrestling in games that aren't necessarily pro-wrestling games please! Failing that I'll just have to take a game where Hulk Hogan bodyslams zombie Hitler because there's a thought provoking tear-jerker right there.

Due to a miscalculation on my part, tonight's update will be nothing short of epic. No wait that's wrong, what I meant to say was that it'll be more short than epic. Had an evening of casual larks and drinks over Battlefield 4 last night and I've spent most of today recovering from it. The drinks that is, as opposed to the Battlefield 4.

Happy November all! It's that special time of year where everything gets cold, sparkly and barren. Crispy leaves on the ground, a bite in the air and a wellspring of reflection as the year comes to a close. Naturally my thoughts turn to my year in gaming and soon there will be my third annual retrospective of everything I've played this year. I know, I know you're excited dear conception of a reader but for now I feel like sharing a screenshot or three from a game I played a few months ago but haven't really talked about around these here parts.

Walking through a mausoleum of tat (or shopping centre) the other day I recoiled in horror as I came face to face with a life-sized, life-like cardboard cut-out of a standard issue Hollywood celebrity. You know the type, it looks almost human, with a face and everything. I'd say it almost looked like the real thing but it seemed far more authentic, more true to life than any so-called human seen on-screen. You see them all the time, in their blockbusters and their rom-coms, but they never look so full of life as when you see them in two dimensions or less.
