Hello dear readers and welcome to another Seriously Geeky Sundays post here on Shoot the Rookie!

Hello dear readers and welcome to Shoot the Rookie. Today I’m doing something I don’t think I’ve ever done before: I’m pitching a game to a developer.

Hello dear readers and a very Happy Valentine’s Day! I know some of you hate Valentine’s Day, or at least try and willfully ignore it, but please don’t let that put you off! It is clear that Valentine’s is in many ways just a big corporate mess, but for me, having a day designed to celebrate love can hardly be the worst thing that could happen, particularly in these dark days. Therefore, I thought I’d get into the spirit of things and have a bit of fun celebrating love and romance in video games…
Hello dear readers and welcome back to Shoot the Rookie! As you may know if you follow me on Twitter (that’s @pix1001 if you don’t!) I have recently completed Atlus’ heart-changing JRPG, Persona 5. You may also know that I am rather fond of it. As such I’m planning a couple of articles about the game but I wanted to kick off with a simple collection of facts and figures detailing what I achieved in the game, so please join me for this number crunching run through my time in Persona 5!

Hello readers and welcome once again to Shoot the Rookie. This is my first proper post of the year and this one has been inspired by a post-christmas lurgy which kept me off work for a few days last week. Cheery huh? It’s ok because I’m all better now, but I thought it would be fun to write up my gaming exploits from my time off. Continue reading “Sick Day Gaming”
Hello readers. If you’ve been following Shoot the Rookie for a while you may know that there has been something missing from my life. A space to be filled. A void into which I could only stare sadly.
Yes, that’s right, I have been lacking a PS4…
…but no longer!
The space on my gaming shelf is now home to an adorable little PS4, and to mark this occasion I have written this celebratory post for your enjoyment. Continue reading “PS4 is in the House!”
