We’ve come a long, long way together
My idea of heaven – 1991 My idea of heaven – July 7th, 2007 Slowly making my way through all of these in roughly chronological order. Monkey Island 2 next. I don’t think there’s a bad game in here. BONUS CONTENT Press Play on Tape perform the Monkey Island theme live. If the first 30 [...]
Footage of EA’s Rock Band
There aren’t enough exclamation marks in the world for just how excited this makes me.
Manhunt 2 and Censorship
I’ve been pretty busy for the past few days and I’m still catching up with the stuff that happened last week. Like the Manhunt 2 furore.

They do this by navigating an avatar (similar to Nintendo’s Mii, but more [...]

Besides the killer technology on show, this video is also interesting for the part where they blow up Jar Jar Binks encased [...]
10 Favourite C64 Games
The Great Escape I think I got this with my Commodore 64. I seem to remember a Christmas Day where the rest of my family was off watching the Great Escape on TV and thinking to myself “Fuck you, last-generation losers. With this super-powerful computer, I AM Steve McQueen. I AM the Great Escape.” The [...]
A Sober look at the Nintendo Wii
Now that I’ve had my Wii for almost two months and the shock of the new has worn off, I think it’s time to step back and take a good, hard look at the system and see what needs to change before it can become… ahem… “the most successful console of all time.” “Hey, what’s [...]
