On the recommendation of Julian ‘Rabbit’ Murdoch from the Gamers with Jobs podcast, I bought the Space Miner game for my iPhone. I played it for a couple of minutes during my lunch break and was really disappointed because it was just Asteroids. I tried it again a day or two later and realised… it’s [...]

E3 must-haves
Posted in Gaming on June 5, 2009 | 1 Comment »
E3 is pretty much over, and here are the disc-based games that I’m looking forward to in the next 12 months: • Gran Turismo 5 • God of War III • Final Fantasy XIII • Assassin’s Creed 2 • Uncharted 2 • The Last Guardian As you can see, originality is (nearly) dead in the [...]

This speaks for itself, really. The PS3 is starting to attract the game developers that have always drawn me to the PlayStation platform. Quirky, offbeat titles are far more my cup of tea than the typical shooting/fighting games, and Team Ico have never released anything less than stellar products.

Great article interviewing the original BG team here. If this series had continued, I suspect I would still be gaming on the PC.
Playstation Home sucks balls
Posted in Gaming on November 29, 2008 | Comments Off
As a beta tester, let me tell you, Home is a disaster of monumental proportions. Imagine the least fun online experience imaginable. You’re thinking of Second Life, right? Okay, now take that thought and improve the graphics, but give your players nothing to do whatsoever. Also, if there could be lots of loading in between [...]
Can we fix it?
Posted in Gaming on November 8, 2008 | 4 Comments »
Yes, we can.
I’ve been holding off on buying Fallout 3 for several reasons but mostly because I’m still getting my head above water financially (but I’m doing a lot better now, honest!). The second-highest in the list of reasons is the general consensus that the PS3 version of the game is somewhat broken in comparison to the [...]
Watch this video all the way through, and imagine… imagine… building this by hand.
