I’ve been stuck in an Internetless hell this weekend, cable modem’s died and the earliest Virgin can get to me is next Saturday Luckily I get into work nice and early which gives me time to write an update on this project!

It’s almost becoming something of a tradition for Square Enix to release a licensed energy drink around the time a new Final Fantasy game comes out, so it’s no surprise to anyone that Suntory-licensed FFXIII drinks are currently available. What did catch my eye was this funky box on sale in the 7-11, containing both [...]

Woohoo! finally a trailer in English so we can get a jist of the story! (i’ve been avoiding forums like the plague) Video Games | Final Fantasy XIII | International Trailer XBox 360 | Playstation 3 | Nintendo Wii

Today, three geeks desecended upon Leeds for a day of awesome gaming. This is their story.

Tomorrow is the first day of Eurogamer Expo at the Royal Armories in Leeds! I’ve booked the day off work like a true nerd and will be heading down with camera in hand to capture the days proceedings, and play some games of course! I’ll be updating across the day via twitter, and will be [...]

It’s been 10 years? seriously? Damn that makes me feel old.

I’m stuck at work waiting for a possibly nonexistent bus, but it’s all good as Miniclip has saved the day with this awesome game!

With all 5 Fallout 3 addons downloaded and played through, I thought i’d write a little bit about each addon for my personal game of the decade. Obviously this article will contain minor spoilers and plot points.

Ever since Virtual-On Oratorio Tangram was announced for Xbox 360 i’ve thought it would be really cool to make my own twin sticks – especially when the Hori sticks were announced to cost $300! I milled around online and in shops looking for old 2-axis 2-button joysticks which could work, but without any other real [...]

When I cracked open the awesome red Xbox 360 pad + play and charge kit Rich and Alice bought me for my birthday I was greeted by 9(count em, nine!) instruction manuals in various languages. Instead of localising the booklets for each country or better still just doing ikea-style visual guides Microsoft seem to think [...]

Rushed home today and made it just in time for Microsofts press conference at this years E3. Due to technical issues on a number of sites(Gametrailers = No Sound, XBox.com = Dead) I didn’t manage to tune in until roughly 10mins into the presentation and missed Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr showing off Beatles Rock [...]
