    SSX: A Review

    You know when your uncle tries to dance or your dad tries to rap? That’s me when I try to understand snowboarding. All the gnarly lingo and flippy floppy acrobatics look fun though, even if I’d be a danger to fashion, myself and anyone around me. Thank heaven, then, for the return of SSX.
    SSX, or seriously sexy extreming or something, I dunno, it doesn’t matter, is a remake of the...

    Batman Arkham City: A Review

    Moreish. That’s what Batman: Arkham City is; it’s moreish. Just as Maoam can’t be left alone or like those tea cakes you probably shouldn’t have bought, some video games are so much fun that walking away is tough.
    Batman: Arkham City is just such a game; it’s an evolved balance of adventure, combat, story, character and it’s beautiful to look at. I imagine it’s a lot like dating a female Army...

    The videogame industry is one of the most lucrative entertainment industries on the planet. Every year it excels with new technology and innovation and has garnered millions of eager fans in the UK.

    My arm hurts. I woke up this morning and found that my arm is stiff from my shoulder down. This hasn’t happened since my first week with a Nintendo Wii. But now it’s Sony’s turn to agonise limbs with its PlayStation Move.

    Left 4 Dead 2 for zombie virgins

    11th December 2009 | 0 comments | 1 person likes this

    The trouble with really excellent video games is convincing people they're really good. I'll get this out the way first; Left 4 Dead 2 is an excellent video game. But I know how to work a first person shooter and I'm used to shooting video game zombies. My thumbs are honed to the X and Y axis with the fine tuning of my thousands of years of human evolution-fuelled muscle...
