Hold the front page! I actually did a bit of the main quest! I closed the Oblivion gate at Kvatch (for the second time, technically, but only the first time with this character) then stormed the city and rescued Martin. I haven’t done the second city assault yet, cos I decided to escort Martin back

I haven’t really posted about this game, despite having been completely sucked into it. As I’ve just crossed the 10 hour mark, I though I may as well give a brief summary of what’s happened so far. Well, I escaped from the prison and did all the class creation stuff. I turned out to be

If there’s one thing the 360 appears to have no shortage of, it’s mediocre shooters. This one is very pretty, has a good variety of things to shoot but is otherwise as dull as dishwater and filled with completely unneccessary bad language, presumably to get that all-important 18 certificate. It’s a yawnfest. Are you noticing

Ok, so I played this to death as a wee tot. At the time, the ability to type actual English (well, nearly) into a computer and see the characters in the game respond. It wasn’t my first adventure game, though, having spent a silly amount of time playing DEC Dungeon (i.e. Zork I) on a

Well, that last post was a little less than meaningful, really. Bizarrely, it does manage to sum the game up quite well. At first look, I really wasn’t impressed. In fact, if it hadn’t been for the GIANT ANTS on the back of the box (I’m a huge fan of 50s B-movies) I’d never have got

It’s a sorry state of affairs when your games console posts to your blog more than you do, but it looks like that’s what’s happening. Truth be told, my gaming ennui has finally ended with the arrival of the 360 (and that’s something I’d never have expected!). It really is a very lovely console and

This is a game that I’ve actually owned for months, albeit on the PC. Sadly, I never got past the tutorial area because it was effectively a slideshow on my modest hardware. Not so on the 360 though – it chews it up and spits it out in a semi-digested morass of shiny smooth loveliness.

GAAAAH! DBsnappa’s score on Geometry Wars is just obscene. I’ve finally managed to break the 110K barrier and he’s sitting at the top of my friends leaderboard on 2.6M. I HVAE HATRED. It’s just not on. So, it’s my mission in life to get past him. As his ‘box is currently away getting fixed, I
