  • Choplifter HD Coming Soon 0 CommentsPosted by on January 10, 2012 under All Games, New Releases, Playstation, PSN Update
    I really get a kick out of the fact that I am now considered an “indie” again after all these years. I have been making games for nearly 30 years, having built a top-five PC publishing house called Interplay around such major franchises as The Bard’s Tale, Wasteland, Baldur’s Gate, Fallout, Descent and more. In the early days, I developed games for other companies and mov... more.

Being a somewhat cynical Brit, I get slightly irritable when one of our own act... more.

  • Book Review: The Thing on the Shore 0 CommentsPosted by on January 6, 2012 under General News, Universe News
    I was recently asked to make contributions to this blog by the people who run it. My previous blog is pretty much a ghost town, so I thought why not. After taking a look at the site content I could clearly see it covered the world of gaming, gadgets and electronics, and with this in mind I decided my first piece would be a… book review. Don’t worry, I’m not gonna’ start b... more.

  • Dungeon Defenders Playstation 3 review 1 CommentsPosted by on December 29, 2011 under All Games, Highlights3, New Releases
    I was given this game to review only because Symonator or InfiniteStates were too busy to do a review, and no one else was even close to volunteering. It is christmas after all. I'm also not a fan of RPGs at all. My poison is battlefield bad company, battlefield 3 M.A.G. Or if I'm pushed, some modern warfare. I did give dark souls a go last week and kind of liked it, but it didn't qu... more.
