My Top 40 Songs of 2019

 Steven Kellow    Music  

Unbelievably, this marks my 10th year of making an end-of-year top tunes list, and I’m not sure if that highlights a sense of diligence on my part or a sense of boredom while waiting for Christmas to come in. This year I’ve again assembled a list of 40 tunes that have taken me through the year, one that’s had many ups and downs but altogether has been a good one, marking my last full year before finally admitting I’m in my mid-twenties.  It’s always amazing — Read more →

The Outer Worlds: Review

 Steven Kellow    Video Games

They say all the stories have been written, there’s just new takes on them – and while that’s true in a sense, it doesn’t mean that one of those new takes can’t be as interesting or as fresh as one that’s entirely original.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare – Beta thoughts

 Steven Kellow    Video Games

For me, that brings quite an excitement.  I’ve fallen in and out of love with Call of Duty in recent years – the last CoD that I really played was Black Ops III, and — Read more →

Red Dead Redemption II: Review

 Steven Kellow    Video Games  ,

Every Rockstar Games title aims to be a masterpiece, and almost every one does achieve that status.  Red Dead Redemption II is no different, offering what could be this console generation’s defining title and yet another expansive and detailed reimagining of the old Wild West. Following up on Red Dead from 2010 was always going to be a tough task, and as that’s one of my favourite games of all time I knew that all too well, but they’ve done a sterling job that surpasses — Read more →

My Top 40 Songs of 2018

 Steven Kellow    Music  

2018 has been a good year.  For me, it’s been jam-packed with new things and experiences.  I learned to drive this year and got my first car.  I’ve had two amazing holidays, to New Orleans for Mardi Gras back in February and for a week with friends in Portugal.  I managed to get one of these blog posts featured in the Sunday Mail.  I’ve also been lucky enough to see just about all my favourite bands live this year (LCD Soundsystem, CHVRCHES, The Killers, Yeah — Read more →
