Enemy Of Chaos: Book Review

by Robyn Wilder

Remember the kids’ TV show Knightmare? Where a gawky square-eyed thirteen year old wandered blindly through a Dungeons and Dragons style green-screen environment, with buck-toothed team mates urging him on with instructions like, “two paces left. No, two paces. No, your other left”. Along the way he’d encounter wildly overacting characters who would declare “WELCOME [...]

SLACKERJACK – World Golf Tour

by Josh Burt

So what if golf is played by the kind of smug cretinous goons who you would pretend not to notice were they getting ever limper under a dust cloud of ASBO fists on a late night bus – this game is amazing. It’s Golf. But it’s, like, Computer Golf. All the same rules apply as [...]

Guff About Videogames – The Summer Drought Edition

by Ian Dransfield

Summer means no games coming out, it means having to go outside and it means that all we can do is stare longingly at pictures of games that are going to come out at Christmas. It is a sad time indeed to be a gamer, and one of the worst times for the affliction known [...]

Guff About Videogames – The Secret of Michael Jackson Island

by Ian Dransfield

There is some news that just gets swept under in the grand scheme of things, even if it’s Twittered about and – as we all know – everyone in the world reads that pile of tripe.

Hecklerspray at E3 – Some Games We’d Buy, Some We Wouldn’t

by David Schwartz

Forget the various industry events and announcements at E3 – it’s time to get down to business. In other words, which games were good and which were bad. Now, I have adopted a very scientific approach to this – I basically played or viewed demos of any games I liked the look of during the [...]

Hecklerspray At E3 – Winners And Losers From E3

by David Schwartz

With E3 over with for another year, I thought it was time to take stock. Well, I have had a great time and really enjoyed trying out lots of new games. The highlight of the trip was meeting McLovin from Superbad, but really, I have to say, my celebrity quota has been quite poor – [...]

by Ian Dransfield

It’s E3 this week in LA, and we have our intrepid reporter Dave over there covering everything in his periodic updates. What this means is there’s little else going on in the gaming world and it’s hard for us to think of much else to cover. So why not just go read Dave’s E3 columns [...]
