A Fine Line
Many true words in this fine blog from ImpulsiveCompulsiveInsane. How much is too much indeed? The perils of collecting so often means making tough decisions as to when to walk away and when to take the plunge when shopping for limited editions and collectables. Something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for [...]
Alien Breed Returns
Any Amiga fan who remembers the Alien Breed series with a wide smile and nostalgic flutter will be champing at the bit for December 16th after the release date of the remake was finally announced. After teasing fans with news for months, it seems that Alien Breed Evolution – Episode 1 from Team 17 will [...]
Bully 2 finally muscling up for a release?
After falling in love with Rockstar’s Bully for the Xbox360, I naturally scoured the net for any morsel of information that I could find on the possibility of a sequel, only to come away bitterly disappointed. I chalked it up to being one of those star games that settles for one hefty body blow before [...]
Shout out for some stunning Fable 2 writing

Farms will be left untended, crops will wither, and cafe food will spoil as Facebook gamers migrate to begin forming governments, coalitions, and plotting invasions. This has the potential to be huge and employers and [...]
Build, Buy, Bum out…
Actually had my first Windows blue screen in I don’t know how long – thanks to Sims 3. The game seems just determined to make my life miserable one way or another, doesn’t it? That’s the third time it has crashed out on me in the build mode, and once when it has frozen instead. [...]
Trash and Burn?
After stumbling across an intruiging sounding game called ‘Prison Tycoon 3′, I was amazed that there was such a tycoon game and that it had actually manage to spawn two sequels. An idea began forming about having a serial feature section where I focus on an obscure or dodgy title (largely PC based, I suspect). The game [...]
First!
After much faffing and general procrastination, (mostly involving watching my screensaver), I have finally grabbed a piece of the internet and spread a (carefully chosen) blanket to park my gaming writing on.
Intended as a personal gaming writing site, rather than an up to the minute melting pot of red-hot news and reviews with a dozen [...]
