My age had nudged into the double-digits and I had already amassed a huge amount of Commodore 64 magazines (which I sadly allowed my father to throw out…argh. I regret that). From the time my brother got us a Sega Master System...

*Batthink enters the room and sees his Wizard’s Edition of Ni No Kuni crying* Batthink:  Aww.  What’s up? NNK: *Baaw*  Seymour was mean to meeeeee… Batthink:  Oh, you mean SeymourDuncanRandomnumberattheend?  Well…you don’t need to worr...

This meme again? I did this three years ago… Oh well, I may as well get involved. After all, I don’t usually get double-figure posts for my blog-entries… and yeah, I know it is late to the party. I usually am, blog-wise. 1. I love e...

It has been a little while since I last visited the Namco Bandai offices in Hammersmith, London. That time, I got to try out Enslaved before its release. Suitably chuffed with the game and the place where I was able to play it, I was l...

Hollie and the gang hanging out at her home For those of you basking in the memories of PAX Expos, E3 and Gamescom, you’d be forgiven for believing that all of these shows managed to cover all of the forthcoming videogame treats for the ...

I noticed the title for the weekly C-blog musing and thought could I really be bothered to write about a favourite/worst handheld? I couldn’t be. In the end, I’ve decided to do something a little different. Instead of a sharp focus on ...

Fail List: Before You Die Edition This is it. The big list. About as close to the ‘ultimate list’ as you can get. When Cassell Illustrated published their 1001 series of books, the first one that caught my eye was 1001 Albums You Must...

2002 was an interesting year. The Allied forces were in Afghanistan and (unwisely) trying to get stuck into Iraq as well; the World Cup was held in Japan and South Korea, eventually being won by Brazil; Joe Strummer, Dudley Moore and Spi...

Damn. Usually Jim Sterling gets shocking articles like this first, especially since it is one I first spotted in the UK's Daily Mail newspaper. Rather than demonising the game, the article writer at least managed to give a few details a...
