Inspired by my visit to the Liverpool beer festival I’m going to attempt to resurrect GS9’s beer reviews here on the mess hall. Hopefully not a shuffling zombie but like a phoenix from the flames!

What does the future hold for games? I don’t know for sure really, but I’m beginning to think it could be a future I want no part of, or at the very least, a smaller part than I have had for the past twenty years.
