My Winter Of Discontent
Winter. Known to Carly as: the worst season. It’s a bit rubbish to be honest, but whenever this time of year rolls around I become a creature of comfort (please read this as lazy and honest), and actively partake in the ancient art of hibernation. Getting cosy and playing games, no one can say that…

Issues of Import – Vita Rhythm
It’s been a year since the Japanese release of the Vita, but what does the system to have to show for itself? While its library of games hasn’t been up to everyone’s standards, a few gems available across the pond and in the Land of the Rising Sun are looking less and less likely to…

Cute Chronicles – Wii U & Mii
Su-per cutesy happy fun gaming time! When the Wii U was announced, although a long-term Nintendo fan, I wasn’t really too… bothered. As a long-term fan, I should probably have been falling over myself to offer them my firstborn, my soul and all my money. But there was something about it that didn’t click. The…

The Silent Protagonist – Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3
Wow. What a lengthy title! If anybody knows me, I love pretty much all things Japanese, from the food, the RPGs, to Anime. Naruto is my favourite anime, so much so that I’ve got an eight trigram seal tattooed to my back, if that’s not enough to convince you that I really like the series…

F1: Online – Update 2
Although driving and racing games seem to be my ‘thing’ here on Ready Up – something which I’m very happy about by the way! – Formula 1 has never really been a bright light in my life. As a fan I find the combination of processional races around cookie-cutter Herman Tilke tracks with the mind-numbingly…

Gamer-at-Arms – Above and Beyond
I’ll admit it: I’ve enjoyed what I’ve played of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 so far. Okay, I’ve only played the multiplayer but shut up, I’ve still enjoyed it. When I played it at the Eurogamer Expo, I came away disappointed; my favourite guns felt like they had been drastically downgraded in terms of stopping…
