Guff About Videogames: Heather Mills Is Bionic Commando

by Ian Dransfield

It’s happened before and it will happen again – stories that are simply too good, that write themselves and just don’t need any additional comment to make them funny. Obviously that won’t stop us from commenting on them, as we’re nice like that. This week came the particularly special news that ex-Beatle-ex and hecklerspray mainstay [...]

Guff About Videogames: Wait, Games Are Good For Us Now?

by Ian Dransfield

Gaming is normally covered by news outlets as one of the worst threats to our Way of Life imaginable, guilty for murder, destruction and the general destruction of the human race as we know it. So it’s always nice when there’s a single thing in the mainstream press that manages to be both positive and [...]

Guff About Videogames: Warm Weather Roundup

by Ian Dransfield

It’s getting to summertime now, so there really isn’t much going on in the world of gaming – some previews here, some other things there and a lot of press gumph everywhere else.

Guff About Videogames: Pointless Rumour Edition

by Ian Dransfield

What would videogames be without rumours? Probably pretty much the same as always, to be honest. Except we would miss out on about 78% of the news reported on gaming, discussion would decrease by around 39% and overall excitement levels would generally dissipate to around 13.645% of their original level. Frankly, rumours are what make [...]

Owing to spectacular speculative reactions from reactionary types in a typical fashion, Konami have decided to pull their support for the upcoming Six Days in Fallujah, currently being developed by Atomic Games. One more tally mark for the column entitled ‘things that we expected to happen, but kind of hoped wouldn’t as it’s a bit [...]

Guff About Videogames: GTA Fail? Pirates?

by Ian Dransfield

We all know the PC and Nintendo DS are viable gaming formats full to the brim of fantastic, must-play titles and owned by the hardest of the hardcore. What’s also true is the fact that these formats are blighted by their owners, who all seem to be pirates or idiots that don’t actually play real [...]

Guff About Videogames: Relentless Stupidity Edition

by Ian Dransfield

It’s difficult to think of awards to give for the dumbest gaming stories to come out of the news in a week, seeing as there are so damn many. While we think we managed to get through a week without any stories on how gaming is going to destroy us all, there are still the [...]

Guff About Videogames: April Fool

by Ian Dransfield

April Fool’s Day is rubbish once you’re past the age of about eight, but the games industry seems to have bucked this trend a fair amount. Look at Volition with their Ostrich Hammer, for example. What originally started as some dedicated gamers (read: twitpots on NeoGAF) slagging off Red Faction: Guerrilla eons ago became a [...]
