  • The Empty Space in Youth

    I feel so very behind…yet ahead at the same time? Confused? Me too. I’ve just been sitting thinking back to my early gaming days, realising that I missed the earliest of the gaming devices. The farthest back I can remember is running around in control of the loveable purple dragon Spyro, or wandering aimlessly around…

  • Where is The Love?

    My blogs seem to be centring themselves around the Guitar Hero franchise more and more these days. A short time ago I caught a little snippet of information while I was scouring the internet. It brought both shock and the word “hypocrite” into my mind. Said snippet of news involved Chad Kroeger of Nickelback being…

  • Cheaters Never Prosper?

    Upon my younger brother obtaining a cheat cartridge for his Nintendo DS, I decided to look into cheats a bit more. Personally I’d always just thought of cheats as an easy way to bypass a certain level I was stuck on in my latest PS2 game or even for some light entertainment with a cheat…

  • If You Can Afford Me…

    Following the release of Rock Band last year and then the release of Guitar Hero: World Tour, I found myself drawn towards said games as they offered a full band experience. Each equipped with guitar, drum kit and microphone, gamers could let out their inner rock star on any instrument including a trusty guitar from…

  • Let The Creative Juices Flow!

    Creativity in gaming has come a long way from my PC gaming days – which actually weren’t that long ago (four years at best). The most creative you could get back then was building your Sims’ home from the ground up, or perhaps building up a map on Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds. So basically, gaming…

  • Singstar Vol.3 + Singstar ABBA Edition

    Sony have been busy working on their latest additions to the popular Singstar franchise. These are the new Singstar Vol. 3 and Singstar ABBA Edition, which make public karaoke a thing of the past. Singstar games started back in the PS2 era and have been continually spewing out of the Sony headquarters since, with 3…

  • It Isn’t Easy Being Evilly Good

    Since finally getting my hands on Lionhead’s latest release – Fable II, I can officially say I’m completely hooked! That’s understandable since there haven’t been any games that have struck me as a particularly good buy up until now so I was desperate for a new adventure. We’re getting stuck into all the new releases now though…

  • Still Stuck In The Days of Modern War…

    So while all you lot are off playing your fancy new titles i.e. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Infinite Undiscovery etc. I’m still digging out a year old game to play every night. Yes one whole year! Surprisingly long for a game really, considering how often a game is played for a short time, only…

  • A New DS?

    Rumours surfaced all over the internet last month concerning a new version of Nintendo’s handheld console, the DS. IGN learned today that the rumour is most likely true and that we’ll probably be seeing the new version by April or May of next year. Rumoured changes include touch-pad functionality on both screens and a wider…

  • Will Halo Ever Follow In Mario’s Footsteps?

    So the thought has been in my mind for quite some time, I mean, Halo is one big franchise. Boasting a huge fan-base and extortionate sales figures to rival many blockbuster movies. So in other words, Master Chief has become quite the starlet in today’s gaming world, but who else is the number one gaming…
