GameTwonk IS BAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!

It’s Autumn 2019 and would you flippin believe it, I am back at the GT helm, typing this here sentence, like six (!) years haven’t passed since I last published any PC gaming related nonsense. And that was a blummin long sentence.

Of course, now I can be absolutely certain that nobody at all will read this, whereas before, there was a slight chance that possibly two or three lost souls may have wandered into this uncharted meadow of the internet.

Anyhoo, why the frick am I writing this anyway? I’ll tell thee. It is because I am going to play and review EVERY SINGLE GAME IN MY STEAM ACCOUNT. (Besides the games I’ve already completed and reviewed, or played, gave up on and reviewed) In alphabetical order, no less!

That’s 662 games to be played and reviewed! (or there abouts)

Factor in that I have a five year old son, a sixteen month old daughter, wife, garden home and job to attend to and I might get this finished before I die. If I’m lucky.

Lets do this…..

Achievement Unlocked: Procreate

Hey there, internet. You’re probably wondering why I haven’t updated GameTwonk in forever…..it’s because my wife gave birth to our amazing son six months ago and…..well, I’ve been rather busy helping keep the little sausage alive.

That said, this is most probably the end for GameTwonk. It’s been a labour of love and a great learning experience, but sadly, playing dozens of video games doesn’t feed my little one.Thanks to everyone who joined in the fun.

Super Splatters Review

Super Splatters

When I loaded up Super Splatters, I was greeted by a funny blob made of clay*, with a high pitched voice. As soon as I saw this, I knew this game was going to filled with these weird little clay blob people, although, they look more presentable than the “blob director” on the start icon. (more…)
