      • Rez? Pezz more like... yeah?
        01/31/08
        So Rez HD launched on XBLA yesterday to great acclaim. I’ve been waiting for this for ages, as I’ve never actually had a chance to play it for myself but from what everyone was saying about it, there was no way I wasn’t going to like it.

        ‘cept, I don’t.

        Actually that’s not str

      • Advance Wars DS: Black Hole Rising
        01/25/08
        By rights I should love Advance Wars. The original GBA version pretty much propped up a 27 hour plane journey to NZ (and filled in some nice little bored evenings in a camper van in the middle of Taupo). The DS version (the first one at least) left me cold though, and still sits in my collection gat

        Bio shocked. That's what I've been for the last few nights.

        My new years resolution of only playing one game at a time has already gone completely out the window. The rusty tin of Rapture has been glinting at me for some time now, sitting unloved on my shelf just waiting for m

      • Climbing back into bed with PC gaming part II....when it all goes wrong
        01/21/08


        Gah! Y'see, y'see, this is why I remember going off PC gaming. Yes you do get shiny pretty loveliness but oh my gawd how much time did I lose this weekend just twiddling and tweaking and trying to get things to work?

        Gaming wasn't so much the problem - just Vis

      • Climbing back into bed with PC gaming....
        01/11/08
        The 8800 GT turned up yesterday, the first chunk of my PC upgrade and...

        Holy crap!

        The HD console scene has been quite satisfying for the length of time I've been out of PC gaming but having a proper yardstick to compare it to - hell, that really does put the cat amongst

        Here is the PS3's killer app. Why do I believe this? Because for me it sums up exactly what I wanted from the so-called "Next Gen"

        Nope, not merely a bunch of polished-up last gen games dressed in new shiny HD clothes - but something really "out there"

      • Blu without you
        01/09/08

        Without turning this site into a techy bitchfest I want to look at the HD “war” again.

        It now looks like Paramount have bowed out and are heading exclusively to Blu Ray. Of course this has set the interweb forums alight with “zomg!11 HD DVD is dead” and to be honest, they might have

      • That's Blu Folks
        01/07/08
        Well it would seem the format war took a turn for the Blu this weekend as Warner pledged their allegiance to the united states of sony, sorry, BluRay, meaning that from May 08 all work on HD DVD releases are to be ceased. As pretty much the only big name left on the fence the decision to think Blu r

      • Where did all my gaming go?
        01/02/08
        So there you have it...

        A week off work and all I managed was 2 hours of Mass Effect and a few rounds of Call of Duty. Oh and 1 level of LocoRoco, whilst having a particularly interesting time on the throne.

        However. it would appear even gamers need family time.
