It’s good to be back! I swear, you turn your back from blogs for one week and BOOM! Wordle becomes a thing, Sifu drops, Uncharted drops, it’s a veritable dropping factory as far as things to cover go!

Wordle is a new free game accessible via Facebook and Messenger. Aim of the game is that every day, you get 4 or 5 guesses to what the word of the day is. The correct letters in a certain order light up if you get close enough and BOOM: Grammar nazis everywhere finally have a socially acceptable reason to mock “there” mates for using “they’re” incorrectly! Bob’s your uncle, fanny’s your aunt!

Wordle has recently been bought out by The New York Times for a ‘seven figure sum‘ due to it’s success, so needless to say, things are good for the devs (I hope).

How did Wordle ‘Destroy’ A Criminal? Sit down and strap-on, it’s story time!

CBS has recently covered the  attempted kidnapping of Denyse Holt (no relations to Raymond, or this would’ve been a much different story). The kidnapper broke into her home stark-bollock naked with a pair of scissors, forcing Ms Holt around the house while clipping phone wires and taking any nearby knives. He also forced her to take a bath with him, but as far as I’m aware, no other physical harm came to Ms Holt.

Sometime later, Holt’s daughter Meredith was concerned that something may have happened to her Mum when she realised she hadn’t sent her her daily Wordle update in the morning. This lead to friends and family calling the police and SWAT once they found out Ms Holt wasn’t reading any messages and BOOM, she was saved by the fuzz 17 hours later.

Ms Holt is safe and the criminal has been apprehended.

What took me so long… Don’t know how much detail I can go into, but the short version is: My colleagues and I took part in a sort of ‘beta test’ for lack of a better word for an upcoming collaborative project with Go2Games and others.

What on God’s Green Earth Possessed You To Write About This Serious Topic So Flippantly: I love me some dark humour, but even I’ll admit this probably wasn’t the best thing to re-debut with. A good friend of mine is basically a Wordle weeb, but by the time I wrote out my jokes in the first half… Well… Made my bed, may as well lay in it- TO THE PRODUCT POEMS:

Cities. I’m hustling and bustling while bussy be bussin. “Daaaamn, Barbie“!

There’s an AMIIBO from Tazmilly Village. With magic so strong, he could pillage! With a thrust and some thunder from somewhere down-under, he caught a glimpse of Lottie’s cleavage.

PT still stings. The playable teaser for a new Silent hill game, Directed by the dream duo of Hideo Kojima and Guilermo Del Toro, was released unannounced onto the playstation store, and was an instant classic. Unfortunately this was then followed near immediately by the news that Kojima was leaving Komani after Metal gear solid 5, and that the game was canceled. Obviously Kojima would late go on to re-use a lot of the ideas he had for the Cancelled Silent Hills in death Stranding, but as of now the silent hill franchise is still in limbo.

With no way to play PT itself anymore, the game having been pulled from the PlayStation store a few years back, enterprising reddit User ROBYER1 took it upon themselves to re-create the games iconic hallway for VR. Using a free 3d modeling software called blender, ROBYER1 then ported the model to be used as a virtual home for the Oculus quest from facebook. If you have the space in your home you can even use roomscale to fully explore the environment.

This is just a re-creation of the area, and you cannot complete the original games puzzles or gain access to the secret trailer that was hidden at the end of the experience. However, ROBYER1 has said there are some hidden secrets arround the map for enterprising players to find if they go looking.

This map will not work natively on Occulus quest, and needs to be sideloaded onto the headset though the use of the program “sidequest”.

Its hard to think that Silent hills would not have been a huge success had it come out, given how enduringly iconic PT is to this day. As of now, konami hasnt said anything on the subject of silent hill for a while outside of the ever-present pachinko machines that make up most of Konami’s output for their classic franchises these days. There have been whispers of Komani Licensing the franchise to some third party developers to make their own take on the series, but as of right now nothing has been firmly announced.

Now, you know me. Co-op gaming with the lads IS my crack pipe!

So imagine my surprise when Facebook Gaming released a free-to-play Pac-Man game that not only features gameplay with up to four players, but also a Mario Maker-like maze creation mode! The game is Pac-Man Community.

Speaking of which, have a butcher’s here if you want to check out our Mario games available. Signing up to our newsletter gets you a discount. And stay to the end of this article for a cheeky little Pac-Man shaped surprise!

In addition to the modes mentioned above, there is also a Watch Tab option, letting players spectate the creators playing the game. This mode lets you optionally take control of Pac-Man or the ghosts if you’re feeling adventurous! It’s good to hear Pac-Man Community has built-in social mechanics, partly for accessibility, partly for the sake of the Facebook boomers that post Messenger texts on their wall by accident!

But for those of you who are more into the competitive scene, don’t you worry mon petit bourgeois! Nintendo Switch Online subscribers can play Pac-Man 99, a Battle Royale take on the classic game.

“Gaming is a big part of the metaverse, and I’m looking forward to seeing games like this get more interactive and immersive” – Mark Zuckerberg.

The Vaguely-Related Questionably-Inserted Product Power Hour: Now, if you’re clicking on this, you’re probably into Pac-Man, and if you’re into Pac-Man, you probably like other retro old-school games from the days of dial-up being the peak of technological brilliance. Well, we have not one, but TWO My Arcade mini gaming consoles. My Arcade is not literally my arcade (I wish), it’s essentially a portable console that has a specific retro game or games ported to it, letting you get stuck into some good ol’ 8-bit goodness while on the go. We’ve got My Arcades for Karate Champion and Pixel Classic (containing over 300 games). Must-haves for collectors or anyone who’s interested in the preservation of The History of The Gaming Canon TM LTD PhD MBE FBI CIA L.O.L.
