Ninja Gaiden, a name once synonymous with high quality action and crushing yet fair difficulty, has had its name sullied. The release of NG3 is the low point in the series, not because it is a disappointing game, but it blatantly abandons what previous NG games did so well and replaces these parts with mindless [...]

Lately, I’ve been enjoying audio books as I go walking. My current book is Stephen Fry’s The Fry Chronicles. In it, he talks about his time reviewing books and how, one day, “the stinker” arrived on his doorstep – the novel so bad that it incited a torrent of vitriol to be spewed across the [...]

Since picking up Deus Ex: Human Revolution last week, this game has been on my mind constantly. I want to play it all the time, and when I’m not, I’m still thinking about it. I’m thinking about the story, and the wider mystery/conspiracy that Adam Jensen has been embroiled in. I’m thinking about each new [...]

I’ve been more plugged into gaming news in the past year than I’ve been for a long period of time. In addition to the daily churn of news from blog sites, my own twitter feed is littered with gaming discussions. As such, I felt that I had to distance myself from this year’s E3. I [...]

I’ve never hidden my console whoring ways, nor have I ever considered myself an ex-PC gamer. I simply enjoy games of all kinds on all platforms. I happen to enjoy console games for their comparative ease of use – you rarely need to update drivers or tweak settings to get a game to work (although [...]
