Next gen gaming is so close I can almost taste it. With both tech giants gearing up to release their latest gaming consoles, the internet is rife with rumours.

If the leaks are anything to go by, it won’t be long before we have our hands on the powerful beast. How much will the PS5 cost? If the leaks are to be believed, the price tag is $500, […]

Ah, books and gaming – my two passions in life. Why hasn’t anyone thought of bringing the two together more often? I guess that turning the fantastical ideas trapped within the confines of the written word into a physical, interactive experience is no easy feat. Words into artwork. Dialogue into acted, actual lines. Imagination-based lore into a realm you can explore… It’s a hard line to walk, where many have tried and failed. But the successes are great. ‘The Witcher’ series, for example – going from book to game to TV show, a viral phenomenon […]

It’s here, it’s finally here! Pokémon Sword is first game I’ve ever pre-ordered, and thus the first game I’ve ever played on the day of release. Thankfully, after months and months of waiting, filled with anticipation – the game isn’t a disappointment. In fact, it’s wonderful! Embarking on a brand new quest across the Galar region, I haven’t been able to tear myself away, amassing a play time of five hours in less than a day since its release. I’ve chosen my starter, got a new hair do, explored the Wild Area and just signed […]

Dragon Age: Inquisition is one of my favourite games of all time, so naturally I had to aim to achieve the pretty, sparkling platinum trophy; to cherish forever on my digital cabinet. Yesterday, that finally happened! After 80 hours of traversing through Thedas, the silver image, accompanied by that harmonious ‘ding’ finally appeared on my screen. But it wasn’t easy. My journey to that plat was riddled with challenges – Nightmare difficulty being one of them. Overpowered dragons, court balls, friendship aims – Dragon Age: Inquisition is no walk in the park. But it is […]

As the decade draws to a close, I can’t help but look back at the technological leaps we’ve managed to overcome in the past ten years. Back at the rear end of 2009, we had many memorable titles bursting onto our screens: Dragon Age Origins, Assassin’s Creed II, Borderlands, Uncharted 2, Modern Warfare 2 – most of which have become a staple of the quality and love that’s put into the art of video gaming. Way back then, you’d have found me peeled to my treasured PS3, having only just bought one in order to […]

My favourite video game locations

September 30, 2019 8 Comments

Video games have always had a special place in my heart. From weaving unforgettable stories to creating characters that are so real you remember them years after you’ve put the game down – they’re a form of both escape and entertainment that have changed people’s lives all over the world. But it’s not just the story and the characters that make video games special. There’s also the places. Being whisked off on far away adventures from the comfort of your bedroom is an experience like no other. That’s why, here at Screen Streams, I decided […]

I’ve rounded up a list of 11 Pokémon that deserve waaaay more love than they get. The poor little critters. Mightyena Okay, I might be a bit biased in that Mightyena is my favourite Pokémon of all time! I’m not even kidding.
