About
Fraser Brown is that bearded, bespectacled Scotsman that covers PC gaming who is not Alasdair Duncan.

Got a splinter stuck in his hand nineteen years ago and just left it in there. True story.

He lives with this thorny burden in Edinburgh, Scotland, drinking a lot of whisky and playing a lot of video games to soothe the pain.

He has sexual feelings for strategy games, adventure games, and has been known to dabble in the murky world of MMOs.

New releases: The Knife of Dunwall blinks into existence

After a couple of lackluster weeks of new releases, we're spoiled for choice this week. A plethora of games drop, begging for your attention. Time to blow more money. At the top of the list, for me, is the latest piece of Di...   more

Green Lantern crashes jets on foes in Infinite Crisis

Hal Jordan's a bit of a douche. I mean, he got scared, let a god-like being take over his body, and killed all the other Green Lanterns. That was years ago, though, so now all is forgiven and he's back to being a hero. It he...   more

MOBA Prime World enters closed beta

It's been a long time since we took a look at Prime World, Nival's castle-building MOBA. You should definitely check out Hamza's interview with the developer from 2011, though, because it all takes place on a bouncy castle. ...   more

Homemade Fallout Monopoly makes the apocalypse worth it

Despite my love of board games, I rarely get a chance to play any. My friends and the people I can occasionally stomach socializing with have little interest in sitting down and playing them with me, so I have to content myse...   more

New releases: Start off your week with Guacamelee!

Another quiet week of new releases is ahead of us, but that's okay with me. More time to catch up on my backlog and a chance to give my abused wallet a much needed rest. Still, there are a few things coming out that might pi...   more

Getting the lowdown on Victoria II: Heart of Darkness

Next to Hearts of Iron, the Victoria series is the Paradox Interactive grand strategy title I have the least experience with. There are a couple of things that have contributed to this, but the most influential one is my decl...   more

The first two days of Defiance

Defiance, Trion Worlds's post-apocalyptic MMO shooter, came out a couple of days ago, and I've been courting it. We've gone on a few dates, but we're still getting to know each other, so it will likely be a couple of weeks un...   more

Master of Magic lives again in Worlds of Magic

Master of Magic was better than Civilization. There, I said it. We're lucky to live in a world where both exist, but the it's the former that I love the most. Yet Civilization became a huge franchise that has spanne...   more

Jane Jensen's Moebius gets a haphazard trailer

I'm glad that I refrain from judging a game on its trailer, especially its first one, because the alpha trailer for Jane Jensen's Moebius is... well it's not great. Camp, full of dodgy, forced accents, and poorly put togethe...   more
