A Christmas Carol
T’was a few nights before Christmas and the sound of my 360’s fans were thankfully drowning out the horrendous seasonal music from the other parts of the house. Engaging my smug mode I sat down ready to play something… anything and then it happened. A horrendous screeching noise from the cream coloured box of gaming…

Puzzle Arcade
It’s Christmas. What better present could you find under the tree than a jigsaw? How about an infinite number of jigsaws? Wow. Welcome to Puzzle Arcade! Yes folks, an infinite number of jigsaws. I’m not going to insult anyone’s intelligence by explaining how a jigsaw works… just know that the controls for this game pretty…

Glamour Gaming?
As unusual as it may sound to anyone who knows me, and maybe some who don’t, I picked up the current issue of Glamour Magazine on Tuesday. Now my main reason for stopping in the WHSmiths to pick up a magazine on my way home from work was because my DS had run out of…

Wii Wish You A Merry Christmas…
So, it’s Christmas time again. A day when millions of children’s eyes light up as they get to tear into their presents. Of course, that’s just the commercial side of Christmas, so let us not forget the true meaning of Christmas – a day upon which one very small and very special package was gazed…

Born to be bad-ish
Once I finally get my lazy little fingers around to playing Fallout 3 there will be some interesting choices to make. To cut down to it – am I going to be good or bad? Most of the time, when presented with choice in a game, as much as I want to be nasty, corrupt…

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…

The Last Enchanted Infinite Dragon Odyssey of Lost Blue Remnant Arms Undiscovery
Christmas is a time for traditions. For many years, I warmly upheld one Christmas tradition which started way back in 1999. Flying in the face of the famous Christmas cease-fires which variously took place during the World Wars, I would spend a small portion of the festive season blowing away the invading German forces. Starting…

Oops! I’m doing it again!
I never read, watch or play a book, movie or game more than once. I do know plenty of people who do but I cannot bring myself to do it. I do these things once and don’t want do to them again even if I really enjoy them, until now. As I sit here with…
