Halo: Spartan Assault (2013)
Here we have the first of two top-down, twin-stick, shooter side-games from the #Halo series. Are they any good? Not particularly. #TGTRS
This is a special occasion. This is the first Halo game Iā€™ve reviewed without completing it, and only because realistically, I already know exactly how the rest of the game is going to play out having managed approximately 30% of it over the course of 45 minutes. Yeah. Let that sink in for a moment. Continue reading Halo: Spartan AssaultĀ (2013)

Halo 4 (2012)
More #Halo? Christ, how many of these games have they made? How many days and days must have gone into making this series of reviews? #Halo4. For your consideration. #TGTRS
You know, Iā€™ve played so much bloody Halo over the last few days that I honestly donā€™t know how Iā€™ve had the time to actually do it. Iā€™d be impressed, if I hadnā€™t been cheating during each of the playthroughs. Continue reading Halo 4 (2012)

Halo 3: ODST (2009)
And now for something completely different. Only joking, it's more #Halo! This time, it's #ODST. #TGTRS
This is the fourth Halo review Iā€™ll have written this weekend, having blasted through three and a half campaigns in the last few days. I had a week off work, what else was I supposed to do? Continue reading Halo 3: ODSTĀ (2009)

The Best UK Number One Ofā€¦ 1977
Iā€™ve left this one rather late again, before getting it started. Still, if thereā€™s anyone who can crack out eighteen short music reviews with the vaguest semblance of logic behind them, Iā€™m sure itā€™s me! Continue reading The Best UK Number One Ofā€¦Ā 1977

Halo 2 (2004)
Honestly, you wouldn't believe how in advance this ended up being written, compared to when it was published. Anyway. #Halo2. #TGTRS
Funnily enough, I have only just finished writing the review for Halo: Combat Evolved in the last few minutes. I donā€™t know when theyā€™re going out, but I figured Iā€™d mention it because itā€™s an insight to the way that I operate (for better, or for worse) and itā€™s always handy to have such things. The better you understand me as a person, the better you understand where Iā€™m coming from when I writeā€¦

Halo: Combat Evolved (2001)
TG continues his second attempt at looking at the #Halo series, by playing the game that started it all. How does it hold up? #TGTRS
You might recall that a while back, I reviewed Halo: Reach. At the time, I had intended to go through the series, but that sort of fell by the wayside a bit. Canā€™t remember why, exactly, but life has a habit of being all funky sometimes so I would assume that happened. At any rate, Iā€™ve been playing through the series again for my own personal entertainment and it struck me that I could justā€¦

Flashback: Halo: Reach (2010)
Today, we #Flashback to TG's review of #Halo #Reach from 2021, which happens to take the second slot in our look at the entire series... in chronological order! #TGTRS
We continue our look at the chronologically ordered Halo series with Halo: Reach. I first wrote about it back in 2021 and had intended, then, to cover the whole series. I mention this, funnily enough, in next weekā€™s review, and I probably mentioned it in last weeks review, which Iā€™ve not yet written. This has all been a bit out of order, really. And in advance. At any rate, here is my original,ā€¦

The Last Of Us Part I (2022/2023)
This happened. Enjoy.
Not often that I have to make two distinctions in the opening paragraph, but here goes. I never played the original version of The Last Of Us, from 2013, but I have played the remastering that they did in 2022, but the version I played was for Windows which wasnā€™t released until 2023. Confused? You shouldnā€™t be, but I donā€™t blame you. All that really matter is that this is a review for theā€¦

The Best UK Number One Ofā€¦ 1976
Which song is the #BestUKNumberOne of #1976? Only one way to find out. Read this! #TGTRS
Itā€™s that time again, where I take a look at the UK Number Ones from a particular year. This month, the year is 1976, and let me tell you, weā€™re getting to the point where I generally know the songs. In fact, I can remember nine of the sixteen tracks from todayā€™s list, off the top of my head, and that doesnā€™t include the one that I know Iā€™ve definitely written about but just canā€™t remember how itā€¦

Lucifer (2016-2021)
Meant to sort this one a while ago, ended up doing it now cos I haven't got anything else lined up and I'm almost out of drafts! Still, good to get it on screen at last. #Lucifer #TVReview #TGTRS
Over the years there have been many portrayals of the religious entity known as The Devil. This tv series follows on such portrayal. Letā€™s see if itā€™s any good, shall we? Continue reading Lucifer (2016-2021)

Dying Light (2015)
"I wrote this nearly a year ago." -TG In all seriousness, this was genuinely written last June. It was scheduled last June. It's been sat, waiting for this exact moment, for months. Let's hope it was worth it! #TGTRS #DyingLight #GoodNightGoodLuck
This is one of those times where Iā€™ve decided to go ahead and play something for my own benefit, and then opted to write a review after. The last time I did that, it was for most of the Halo series though as Iā€™ve yet to decide when I am publishing that or this, this could well be the first of such reviews you end up reading. Though of course, statistically speaking, no-oneā€™s reading thisā€¦

Billy Joel - Turn The Lights Back On
Today, TG takes a look at the new track from #BillyJoel, #TurnTheLightsBackOn, his first single since 2007. Is it good? Of course it is! It's Billy! #TGTRS
Oh my, a music review? Thatā€™s not normal, is it? Not this year, at least. Itā€™s been games all the way down. No, I heard that this had come out and thought, sod it, letā€™s do a music review! Continue reading Billy Joel ā€“ Turn The Lights BackĀ On

Bee Simulator (2020)
TG takes a look at 2020's #BeeSimulator, a game in which you play a bee through an un-bee-lievably short story mode! #TGTRS
I love a good simulation game. Iā€™m quite keen on bees. It made logical sense to play a game combining the two, but is that game any good? Continue reading Bee Simulator (2020)

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (2023)
Does the colon look like itā€™s in the wrong place to you? It does to me, too. Very strange, very peculiar. Ah well. Regular readers that take a close look at our video game reviews will know that I looked at Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and really took a shine to it. Did that translate over to Survivor?

Teardown (2022)
Mid-last year, TG was playing this and wrote this review. Today, we publish it. That's some serious planning. #Teardown #TGTRS
I spend far too much time working out what I intend to write, and when. Itā€™s mostly games, to be fair. I have so many, it would be hard for me to organise myself well enough to review any, if I didnā€™t plan ahead. As it happens, today (my time) I queued up a bunch of reviews that Iā€™d already written, but would not fit into ā€œthe planā€ until much, much, later. It is good, I feel, to keep on top ofā€¦

High On Life (2022)
This is one of those games that I knew I would want to play, when it was first announced, but then took my time actually getting round to buying and playing. I then spent a Sunday completing the story. I would say therefore that I found the experience to be underwhelming, which probably means you donā€™t need to read the rest of this review, unless of course you want to know why, exactly, Iā€™m goingā€¦
