  • Lego-las?

    When I was a child, one of my favourite toys in all the world (next to my Game Boy) was Lego. It’s fascinating and exciting to play with, and is limited only by your imagination or the amount of bricks you own. I could happily spend hours constructing towns, holiday caravans and railway systems, and…

  • Bejeweled 3

    When a company like PopCap offer you a new game, you would have to be mad to turn it down. With a rich and exciting catalogue of games such as Plants vs. Zombies, Peggle and that blasted Zuma (relive my nightmare, if you dare) you can pretty much guarantee a game worthy of a few…

  • In Case Of Zombie Apocalypse, Click Here

    Thanks to the release of Dead Island, my inner zombie-fanatic has been little less than obsessive of late. In my warm up to release day, my zombie collection had been receiving a severe dusting off with Left 4 Dead 2 grabbing much of my attention. Considering the obvious similarities that Dead Island has with classics…

  • Dead Island

    Once upon a time, there was an island. Not some weird island where people are doomed to crash land, push buttons and fear smoke monsters (although like the J.J. Abrams TV show, there are a lot of Australians). This was a tropical paradise catered for the desires of all. The only trouble was that the…

  • At the next Chocobo, turn left!

    One of the many side effects that go along with my gaming habit (among others) is my love of collectibles. If money was no object my inner geek would quite happily spend its days in Forbidden Planet buying figurines, comics and anything with ‘Limited Edition’ stamped on it. Although I have managed to curb my…

  • E3 and Me: The Beginning of the End?

    The machines rose from the ashes of the nuclear fire. Their war to exterminate mankind had raged for decades, but the final battle would not be fought in the future. It would be fought here, in our present. Tonight… Sounds like the plot of a great game, but it’s actually from Terminator 2: Judgement Day;…

  • I’d Like To Amend That Statement…

    Ready Uppers… I owe you an apology. I’ve made a mistake. Two months ago I was given a review copy of PopCap Greatest Hits Volume 2, a nifty collection of four of the company’s corking games. I’d experienced three of its titles (Feeding Frenzy 2, Plants vs Zombies and Heavy Weapon) in some shape or…

  • Epic Fails Part 2: Hand Helds

    Hand Held Consoles, chances are if you’re into gaming you own or have owned some kind of portable gaming device along the way. The Nintendo 3DS and Sony PSP may rule the roost now, but what about all those other nifty little gadgets that have been left gathering dust in gaming history? It’s not all…

  • Give Me Back My Zombie!

    I am a zombie fanatic. Fact. I love zombie movies, books, legend and of course zombie games. My fascination with the undead was, in fact, ignited by Resident Evil back in 1996 and since then, I haven’t looked back. Capcom’s zombie exploits tuned into a part of me that soon craved that feeling of fear…

  • PopCap Hits: Volume 2

    I don’t know about you, but in recent years I have come to think when in need of something quirky, addictive and great to look at, there is little better in this world to quench your gaming thirst than a PopCap game. Let’s face it, these guys really rule the roost when it comes to…
