☆ Video Games Books You Need In Your Life! ☆ @romalerts @retroboyo @FunStockGames @WoodPunk #Retrogaming #GamersUnite

It's A Shame This Book Isn't Real......

I love a good video games related book and I've recently been starting to look for some ideas of what presents i'd like to put on my birthday wish list!

So I've had a good look around for the reading list of my dreams.....

Here's what beauties i've managed to unearth....

☆ Some Of The Coolest Video Game "Demakes" In The World Today! ☆ #Retrogaming #GamersUnite #Pixel

We just cant get enough of all the cool creative types who take it upon themselves to remake the latest video games in glorious pixelated 8 or 16 Bit!

The plethora of remakes, demakes and reimaginings out there at the minute contain some purely amazing pieces of artwork and pixelated Video Game sequences from some of the biggest video games in history.

We could look at and watch this stuff all day 

(and often we do!)

We thought we'd pick our favourites at this moment in time and invite you to share with us any of your favourite Video Game Reimaginings!

☆ Pang Man Part 14 – "Top 10 Video Game related movies" ☆ #GamersUnite

"I was watching the Street Fighter movie the other day, and was thinking this is truly awful. 

I mean, why would anyone cast Kylie Minogue as Cammy? Is she English? (no, but I suppose she can attempt an accent). 

Can she act? (um I suppose she was fine in Neighbours) 

and does she have a martial arts background? (nope).

☆ My First Encounter With A "BLOATER" ☆ #TLOU #GamersUnite

What's the most memorable thing about Bioshock?

 

The jaw dropping twist in the tale?

The amazing gameworld?

OR

That first encounter with a BIG DADDY!!??!!

 

For me it was most definitely the moment when you experience the awesome power and devastating scariness of the BIG DADDY!

 

It was a defining moment in the last generation of video games.

 

One where you are genuinely scared........

 

Yesterday I had a repeat of one of those moments........

☆ "The Banner Saga" Is Coming....... ☆ @PocketGamer @StoicStudio #GameDev #Android #iOS

The Pang Man Is Back In The Freezer!

This Time Our Main Man Takes A Look At Forbidden Planet And All Its Video Games Related Wares......

Let's See What The Pang Man Has To Say,

"During my uni days, I would often have a spare hour or two between lectures. So with a bit of time to kill, what did I do, study? Nah, of course not! Instead, I would often pop down to one of my favourite stores in Central London, Forbidden Planet

The thing I loved about Forbidden Planet was that they had a bit of everything for the cult/fantasy/sci-fi/ enthusiast, from movie posters and books, to cult magazines and comics.

Now you may be wondering, what does this have to do with the wonderful world of video gaming? 

Well, I vaguely remembered that the store sold a decent selection of gaming related merchandise. 

So to check that my memories weren’t playing tricks on me, I went to revisit Forbidden Planet yesterday to see what goodies they had in stock.

☆ The Trese Brothers Are BACK With "Star Traders 2" ☆ @TreseBrothers #Kickstarter #GameDev

The Trese Brothers stand for quality Video Games

They are gamers who make games for gamers 

When you play one of their fine video games you are involving yourself in an immersive experience and you know that you will begin to really care for the your characters and their storylines during the game as the gameplay takes you along at a brilliant pace...

This kind of professionalism and love for the video games and the community used to be rare in the mobile gaming arena, but The Trese Bros are looking to change all that by making it the standard that ALL other Indie Game Devs aspire to…

Today we've received some exciting news…..The Trese Boys Are BACK!! 

And this time they are in space!

☆ My First Three Hours With The Video Game That Changed Everything…☆ @PS_Beyond #GamersUnite

Imagine a video game that draws you in with it's storyline, tugs at your heart strings, makes you care about the characters, lets you fall in love with the game world and delivers heart thumping action whilst also scaring the shit out of you on a regular basis….

These elements combined are rare in a video game but I have discovered such a game…

It's a game that everybody has heard of and that every video game journalist on the planet has played and written about…

On this front, I'm well behind the pack as my first play session on this game was yesterday and the game was released in June 2013...

I've never been one to play the latest release and I tend to avoid following the pack when it comes to seeking out new video games experiences…

BUT in this case, it's such an amazing game that I wish I had played this wonderful game on Day 1….

☆ An Original Video Game We'd Really Love To Play! "Proven Lands" ☆ @btxsqdr #GamersUnite #GameDev #Kickstarter

We came across this cool Kickstarter for the Proven Lands Video Game a while back and have been meaning to write about it for an absolute age!

Now we've come around to put pen to paper it's only gone and been cancelled!!

But interestingly enough the project was actually cancelled with a whopping £23k of funding behind it.....

The only problem was, the goal was a whopping £299k!

The project was cancelled in order to have a rethink of the strategy employed to get this beauty off the ground......

The game is called...... PROVEN LANDS

☆ What Is Your Favourite Video Games Shop Of All Time? ☆ #GamersUnite

In the online world we live in today there is a distinct lack of high street video games stores.

Video games stores have taken a massive hit in the UK and even the behemoth that is GAME have been hit by this tough time for the high street retailer.

I for one still love to walk into a video game shop (when I can find one) and browse the rows of video games on offer, along with all the cool accessories that I want to put on my wishlist.

As I sit here now I am starting to recall my favourite video game shop ever. It was called LOGIC and was in a town called Cheshunt in Hertfordshire.

The thing I loved about LOGIC was the fact that it had every imaginable video game format covered in its vast displays of video games. They were also one of the only places to stock ATARI 800 XE/XL cassettes in our area. It was always a treat to visit LOGIC!

This got me thinking, If I was to open a Video Games Shop today what would be my ultimate Video Games Shop?

☆ What's On Your Fallout 4 Wishlist? ☆ @Fallout #GamersUnite #Fallout4 #Fallout

As Fallout fans wait with baited breath for some kind of a Fallout 4 announcement, it has gotten me thinking about what I would like to see included within the next fallout installment……
