The Top Ten Sega IP’s that need a revival.
Perhaps more than any other major player in videogames industry, SEGA has a huge catalogue of unique and popular IP which has gone unused for far too long.
I also suspect I’m not alone in the fact that I’m getting rather tired of the usual Sonic updates (although I’d be lying if I said I [...]
A question of balance.
There was a time when multiplayer videogames in the first person shooter genre were based on one core concept; and that concept was purely the skill of the player. This skill was based on experience and the more hours a player played their game of choice, the better they became at utilising the toolset presented [...]
2010: The Top Ten Games You Should Care About.
Now that the behemoth that is Modern Warfare 2 has been released to the masses and 2009 begins to draw to a close in terms of major games releases, its time to look forward to what 2010 has in store.
In many ways 2009 has been a great year for gamers; the PS3 became affordable, slim, and [...]
Left 2 Rot? Will Left 4 Dead really die?
Left 4 Dead 2 is now finally with us and it looks as though the mass exodus from the original game has begun in earnest, with barely a few thousand players playing the game at the time of writing compared to the sequel which has ten times that amount after only its first full day [...]
The best of First Person Shooter Lego.
For those of us that have grown up with it, there’s something eternally endearing about Lego.
Whilst most of us probably don’t play with it anymore (unless of course you have children who *cough* require Mum or Dads ‘expert guidance‘), I’d be willing to bet you’ll still always a soft spot for it and probably occasionally [...]

I’m truly beginning to wonder exactly who is staffing the offices at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe but I do have one request for the senior management of Sony. Can we please swap them with the staff from the US or Japanese offices? Please?
It’s genuinely rare that I become frustrated with anything much more advanced than [...]
Drake can’t beat Master Chief; but the PS3 can win the format war.

The PS3 has always had an impressive feature set but its price was always a stumbling block for many; particularly as [...]
Sex, Women and Video Games: what does it all say about us?
I’ve just driven recklessly through the city streets with the Police hot on my tail, but finally it seems I’ve lost them. I can no longer hear the wail of their sirens and in the top of my screen I can see the stars flashing as my wanted level disappears.
My health is low but I’ve [...]

At the time of writing there is little doubt that the Nintendo Wii leads the current generation of home consoles in terms of hardware sales by some margin.
The console sits comfortably in its lofty throne; peering down on the ongoing tit for tat battle between Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Sony’s Playstation 3, its competitors almost [...]
Playing the greatest adventure of all.
It’s late Sunday morning. The better half is at work on a training day, the dog has been fed and is now lazily mooching round the garden looking for sticks and bugs to eat. I’ve successfully handled the kids breakfast without incident and the youngest (Lily, who’s just over a year old) has been changed [...]
