All reviewsThe Walking Dead2012
5 out of 5 starsNarrative in video games divides opinion in some interesting ways. Some say that game stories are bad, no matter the title in question, while some shun books and movies to get their fiction fix from the interactive medium. Its an interesting debate, but one thing that seems to have united everyone is The Walking Dead from Telltale Games. The Walking Dead, as an IP, can seemingly do very little wrong. A successful…
Shadows of the Damned2011
5 out of 5 starsPopcorn gaming is a term I am on a crusade to get into the greater gaming lexicon. It refers to those games we play that we all know are dumb, the ones that dont innovate and try to change the way all future games are made or have some socio-political point to make about the world. No, it refers to those games that hark back to the beginning of the industry where paying strippers to show pixelated boobs and blasting…
Resonance of Fate2010
5 out of 5 starsPerception is an interesting thing. What one person may see as a good thing, the person sitting next to them may see it as a crime against humanity. The reason I say this is because I looked at the box for Resonance of Fate, the latest RPG from TRI-ACE and SEGA, and perceived game that is very Japanese and not Final Fantasy and therefore a game that is not very good. Oh, how wrong I was. Resonance of Fate tells the…
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars2009
5 out of 5 starsHow do you take the massive, open world that is Liberty City of Grand Theft Auto IV fame and translate it onto the DS, and more importantly make it NOT feel stripped down? You make Grand Theft Auto: China Town Wars, a game that plays to the strengths of the system while sending the player on a well executed and sharply written adventure throughout the streets of . You play as Huang, a young rich kid fresh off the…

All articlesOn getting into the games industry and failing miserably
Jun 4, 2010
This time next week I will 28 years old. Shortly there after, I will have been married for the some total of 2 months. So I am getting older and being all growed up, and now have a wife to think about as well as myself. Like many people, I am searching for something though. Not happiness in love or anything as cheesy as that since I have already found it, but rather contentness in my job and ca...
On Why I Game
Jun 25, 2009
Ok, let me be straight up from the off: this is about my reasons for gaming, what I like and don’t, and is generally more about me than anything else. I will ask the question of you at the end, but please, if your going to comment on my thoughts, at least be polite. Now, for most of my life I have been a geek. Its an honest assessment, and one anyone who knows me, or indeed, has read my previou...
On Gaming and Being Healthy
Jun 16, 2009
"The second step that we can all agree on is to invest more in preventive care so that we can avoid illness and disease in the first place. That starts with each of us taking more responsibility for our health and the health of our children. It means quitting smoking, going in for that mammogram or colon cancer screening. It means going for a run or hitting the gym, and raising our children to...
On E3 and Press Conferences
Jun 3, 2009
So inevitably, a slew of lists of games that blew people away at E3 have started to come out. So I thought I would join the band wagon, since I am not above such things. I watched all three press conferences and I have to say that each one felt more like the companies were actually trying, and had some genuinely new stuff to bring to the table. Nintendo’s was a bit lacklustre, but lets face, th...
On Gamer Girls
May 26, 2009
I was talking to a friend on line last night who is at University and He was writing an article on girls in the gaming industry. So I thought I would nick his idea and do one myself. Jade Raymond The simple fact is that gaming is a male thing. Most games are testosterone fueld frag fests and the ones that arent are generally geared towards men, such as fighting games and racing games. It is an...
on popcorn gaming
Apr 28, 2009
So I went to see the film Crank: High Voltage at the weekend, and it was entertaining in a ridiculous, OTT kind of way, but it also had the interesting effect of making me think about games. The term ‘Popcorn movie’ is relatively new to the medium I believe, and is associated with movies like Crank , Transporter and Shoot em up , films that embrace the kind of stupidity that makes them one thin...
