Back when the idea of Downloadable Content was just a sparkle in someone’s eye we [as gamers] approached the idea with caution. That grumbling feeling we had in our stomachs was proved right when Oblivions’ now infamous Horse armour update went live. Many feared the baseline had been set, but thankfully along the way, the…

It’s October, that means it’s less than three months until Xmas. It also means that shops in town have started to fill their shelves with selection boxes and gift ideas [Read: Deodorant Bags], but Xmas isn’t important right now, what’s important is our winter games line up, which is great news for us – but…

My 360 recently found itself winging its way to Frankfurt to be repaired – but before you start throwing your rotten fruit, don’t worry, this isn’t a red-ringed theme entry.

It was a warm summers day, a Friday to be precise and the only question running through my head was: “Why did I leave it this long, now delivery won’t be here until at least Tuesday” A situation I’m sure quite a few of you are familiar with, it’s the price we pay for quality bargain shopping…
