I have a Wii
Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010In celebration of turning slightly older and therefore being slightly closer to death I decided to take the time to emulate the elders of this world and purchase a Wii, thus allowing me to rejoin the previous generation five years after putting it in the bin. And more importantly, waggle at things. Like a wizard, [...]
The Future Of The Future Of Controller Free Gaming
Thursday, June 10th, 2010As the E3 Expo (Electronic Entertainment Expo Expo) is fast approaching Microsoft are desperate to declare controllerless gaming the future, and they’re probably set to do this by prancing around on stage in front of cameras hoping the ‘Well Bam’ disaster doesn’t strike again. One question remains; is controllerless gaming the future? It is possible [...]
My Green Attire Is For Ghost Hunting
Monday, April 26th, 2010Having the desire to play something a little different I shuffle over to VGshelf and have a quick glance at my collection of unplayed games. Many of these appear to be demanding I shoot people in the face, control a group of people and order those to shoot other people in the face, or set [...]
Hey Look, A Japanese Game Not About Rape
Friday, April 9th, 2010Before we being I’d like to point out that the title would have been topical if I’d have written this when I originally intended to, and I am not changing it now. Having completely missed the Pokémon Red/Green remake boat I have since longed for a return to the classic Pokémon I know, love, and [...]
Ubisoft Announce Ghost Recon: Another Terrible Subtitle
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010Actually called Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. No doubt I will end up being disappointed, as it will probably end up being just another third person console shooter with a poorly implemented cover system. I am basing my assumptions as to what the game will be purely on the title though, so there is still hope [...]
A Trip To The Moving Picture House For AVATAR
Monday, January 25th, 2010I am not about to attempt any kind of movie review – the only reason I know who James Cameron is, is because he stood on stage at the E3 Ubi Press Conference for several hours and dissected the script for his latest film, when all he really needed to say was that it is [...]
VGshelf – A Shelf On Which Video Games Are Placed
Wednesday, November 18th, 2009Every once in a while I like to contemplate the benefits of a bookcase, after deciding bookcases are great I went outside to purchase, and then once returning home, construct some. I then proceeded to happily place the four books I own onto the bookcase which now proudly stands parallel to my wall – which [...]
Special Editions – Don’t You Know Who I Am?
Tuesday, October 27th, 2009Dear Publishers of the Holy Video Game, With Christmas fast approaching and my house getting filled with boxes stacked to the ceiling I feel the time has come to talk about video game special editions. This section could be divided up into twosies, but by the time I have finished writing it will probably end [...]
People What Make Games: Tim Schafer
Monday, October 19th, 2009Tim ‘Tim Schafer’ Schafer was born as a miniature child in 1967 [citation needed] a year in which Bryan Adams decided there was nothing worth writing a song about – completely dismissing the fact that Tim Schafer was born. Since his birth it has become clear that Tim was named after a character in best [...]
This Was Supposed To Be About LittleBigPlanet
Tuesday, September 15th, 2009I have been meaning to write something over the past few days. Due to distractions such as actually having to fend for myself via the art of cooking (or ordering) and other such things lead to me putting it off, however I am now here being all writey.
