☆Fallout New Vegas - Game Diary 5 "The Wasteland Is A Lonely Place"☆ #GamersUnite

Throughout the Fallout series you are given the option to bring along a companion for the ride and I am a great fan of companions as the Wasteland can be a very lonely place for the courier…

 

The companionship afforded by these select band of Wasteland heroes 

(& villains) is extremely valuable to the player in combat and funnily enough the additional person to share the load with means you form a lasting relationship with this person (if that’s possible).

 

It's an odd occurrence really as you begin to start really caring about these sharers of your experience, especially after you assist them with their very own side quest which invariably gives you some backstory on how they have managed to end up in the wasteland.

☆Who Was Your Favourite Video Game Publisher?☆ #GamersUnite #Retrogaming

When we were young a trip to the local Computer Games Shop meant we were presented with reams and reams of cassette games for Commodore 64, Spectrum, Atari XE/XL and many other cassette based systems.

The overriding memory though were the sheer amount of different publishers that were plastered all over these various different cassette tape boxes.

When we hear one of these publisher names now we are transported back to those times when you spent hours pondering what to spend your hard earned pocket money on and then normally plumped for a game on the basis of what the box art looked like or what the written spiel on the back said.

So let us take you on a trip down Publisher Memory Lane from the heady days of Tape Cassette Video Games as we reveal our 

Top 5 Favourite Software Publishers.......

"When Is A Video Game Console Considered 

To Be Retro?"

 

It's a question we see pop up on Twitter and video games Forums from time to time and it got us thinking of how retrogaming could potentially be defined.

So, we've had a go at creating The Games Freezer Retronometer….

 

This is not an exact science so we are open to amendment and opinion but this is how we see it……

 

There are 5 points on the Games Freezer Retronometer scale.

♥"Sun, Sea and Arcade Games - PART II"♥ @isleofwightuk #Retrogaming #GamersUnite #Arcade

Ever since I was an 8 year old, walking into an amusement arcade has always filled me with excitement.

Arcades have their own smell

 (I'm not sure what that smell is but I know it when I smell it!!!)

Arcades have their own noises which include bleeps, blurps and digitised voices proclaiming something or other.
