With the recent announcement of #TombRaider creating the Unified Timeline, I took it upon myself to try and theorise how the new timeline would look... thomasclement.net/2021/08/08…

When it comes to Assassin’s Creed: Rogue, the internet can’t seem to agree. Some call it an underrated gem, while others call it completely overrated. To find the truth, I had to play it myself. Which one would it be? thomasclement.net/2026/08/26… #AssassinsCreed #Gaming #Resynced

Assassin’s Creed: Rogue – Underrated or Overrated?

Assassin’s Creed: Rogue has been watching me stare at it on the PlayStationstore for at least the last six years. An Assassin’s Creed game, one of my favourite series of all time, that I had never …

A lot of the video games I like to analyse come from my childhood. So I decided to turn the clock back to the very start and look at the first game I remember playing; Clue from 1998. thomasclement.net/2026/06/24… #gaming #writing

Clue – My First Video Game

Quite a few games I like to cover on this website are games from my late childhood to early teenage years. When covering games like Tomb Raider, Assassin’s Creed, or even several James Bond titles,…

NEW POST! A deep dive into the Hidden Blade from Assassin's Creed, and why it makes such an iconic weapon... #AssassinsCreed #Ubisoft #Games thomasclement.net/2026/03/19…

The Hidden Blade: A Design Study

A flick of the wrist, a flash of metal…and someone falls to the ground dead. Is there any gaming weapon more iconic than the Hidden Blade? A symbol and mark of justice, freedom, and commitment, pas…

For the last year I have been working through a backlog of games that I never played before. One of those games was "Secret Service", supposedly one of the worst games ever made. I couldn't wait to write about it... thomasclement.net/2026/02/18… #games #writing #WorstGameEver

When learning a new language, general wisdom says to immerse yourself fully with books, films and TV. So I took that challenge with games, specifically #AssassinsCreed #Valhalla, and played through the whole game in German... thomasclement.net/2025/11/03… #LanguageLearning #Gaming

Learning German with Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla

I have been on-and-off learning German for five years now. Through online classes, a dash of Duolingo, and general real-world-exposure, I am able to get by in most situations and conversations, onl…

The Best Levels from the Splinter Cell Series

I recently got my Xbox 360 out of storage solely for the Splinter Cell series. A stealth series endorsed by author Tom Clancy and featuring super-sneaky-solider Sam Fisher, it’s a landmark for both…

In the run-up to the #MafiaTheOldCountry release I played back through the rest of the series and found myself tackling one of the biggest conspiracy theories in gaming; is Joe Barbaro alive? thomasclement.net/2025/09/01… #gaming

Joe Barbaro is Dead: A Mafia II Analysis

It’s one of the longest-running “conspiracies” around a game storyline that I’ve ever witnessed. Fifteen years on from Mafia II, you will still see comments, blog posts, and videos about how Joe Ba…

Medal of Honor: 15 Years Later

As someone who played games in the late 2000s and early 2010s, I have played Call of Duty. Much has been written about the revolution Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was to the gaming landscape, cat…

The Survivor Trilogy actually inverted the “Daddy Issues” storyline trope and gave some great character moments, but players just heard the word ‘dad’ and immediately drew conclusions and still base their criticism on it… thomasclement.net/2020/10/30…
