4 out of 5 starsThe quality of Christmas cracker toys is in a downward spiral. Last year I won a cheap plastic comb, while my brother's pack of cards had no spades in it. Do you remember years ago, you might win one of those tilting ball-mazes where a steady hand and patience were key to success? Well, replace the steel ball-bearing with a rotund treasure hunting archaeologist, drop back to two dimensions and you have the basic…
Canabalt2009
4 out of 5 starsIt seems Twitter has penetrated every aspect of daily life. If your plugged into the twitterverse you've probably heard of people running 1200 metres before crashing into a wall and tumbling to their death. This is the final part of every attempt at Canabalt; a run-em-up game of cartoon, urban hurdles which rewards patience and persistence with an auto-tweet button to show your friends how much free time you clearly…
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 22009
5 out of 5 starsModern Warfare 2 takes place five years after the events of of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Despite your best efforts, the ultra-nationalist have wrangled control of Russia proclaiming Zakhaev, everyone's favourite one-armed bad guy, as a national hero and political martyr. As in previous Call of Duty games, you step inside the body of several distinct characters over the course of the campaign's five to seven…
Peggle2007
4 out of 5 starsPeggle is the sort of game that relishes in word of mouth. Since its original PC release in early 2007, it’s has been bouncing from platform to platform appearing on Apple’s iPod, Valve’s Steam service and most recently on Nintendo DS. Fans of the series will be pleased to know that not much has been lost in the translation to Xbox 360, and if players unfamiliar with the series can look past its cutesy exterior,…

All articlesRyan's words of support
Jul 9, 2013
Ryan sent me this when CBSi Games staff were informed I was coming to the states for a while. Made me smile then, as it does now. As a distant fan, I feel privileged to have met him. He really was as hard edged and soft centred as you'd imagine. I have nothing but thanks for him, for being so kind and supportive to me over the years. I mourn the fact that I didn't get to know him well, but real...
Delete Scenes RUSSIAN EDITION
Jun 23, 2013
Porn, communist toilets and booze - some deleted scenes from our frankly bizarre World of Tanks episode of EFMS from last year. Martin wasn't actually working at GameSpot when we shot this, but I'm pretty sure these two deleted scenes are what got him the job. Full episode here: http://www.gamespot.com/features/escape-from-mount-stupid-secret-russian-tank-adventure-6397048/ Apologies in advance.
Used Games
May 30, 2013
I maded a video thing about working in retail and why used games are fucking great. What do you recon? Have you bought used games knowing that you'd trade them in again to buy more stuff?
Hello GameSpot US
May 12, 2013
Right now I'm sitting in a rented apartment in San Francisco. It's sunny outside, there's baseball on the TV and I'm on a laptop trying my best to sum up what fucked up set of events landed me here. I'm also reminding myself of how bad I am at creative writing. I arrived in San Francisco yesterday where I'm staying for about a month to work alongside the US video team in the run-up to E3. Back...
Games vs. Depression [Highlighting Mental Health]
May 4, 2013
I've been chipping away on this video for about two months, and now I've spent the past 24 hours whoring it out to people. But it's worth it considering the subject matter. I've suffered from depression and OCD at various points throughout my life, and have often used games as a coping mechanism. When I played Depression Quest on a GameSpot livestream a few months ago, we got like, almost a hun...
