Puzzle Games for the Lateral Thinker this Christmas
We all know someone who loves to get their grey matter working with the odd brain teaser, so if you’re shopping for them this Christmas – what kind of options […]

So – it’s been a long time coming but Destiny is the name of the next game from Bungie – the developers behind the massively successful game HALO. Our story […]
iPhone Game Giveaway – Part 1
Recently I reviewed WordsWorth by 99Games. After the review the developers contacted me and asked if I would like to do a giveaway of some of their games. The thing […]

Arc Squadron – AKA Starfox
Anyone else hanker after some Starfox 64 action? I can’t count the number of times I completed that game. I loved all the floaty robot bosses, the way they evolved and transformed. I loved the environments that changed. I loved the cast of characters. It was great. It wasn’t perfect, but it was really solidly enjoyable. Arc Squadron is a […]
HALO 4: Live Action Trailer
I’ve played through the first couple of HALO games and whilst they were ok they never grabbed me as they seemed to with other people. I know there’s some much more hardcore fans of the series out there, however I saw a shortened version of this trailer on the tv the other day and it was rather cool. I probably […]
Element4l – Experimental Platformer with a Stupid Name
I can’t stand games that use numbers in their name. It’s a personal bug bear of mine. I’m sure the developers think it’s a great idea but it’s hard to type and it can’t be said. I assume in this case the games name should be pronounced ‘Elemental‘ but I shall be calling it Elementfourl. Stupid name aside, I think […]
Super Motherload

iPhone as a Gaming Device
I remember a long time ago writing about how I thought the iPhone and iPod Touch were flawed as gaming platforms. I said that they would only be good for […]
Angry Birds Star Wars
You heard right – Angry Birds, Star Wars is coming on November the 8th. It’s going to be epic! Or, more likely, it’s going to be Angry Birds with some Star Wars references. Either way though, Angry Birds is a solid game, and anything with Star Wars in the title has to be at least a little bit awesome. The […]
Real Life: Portal Automated Turret
Weta Workshop, the company who worked on the special effects for Lord of the Rings, King Kong, and a variety of other big budget blockbuster films must be a fan of video games. They sent Valve software a little present – and there’s an unboxing video below… That’s right – it’s a fully functioning (minus the bullets), full-scale, articulated Portal […]
