My collection kept changing and changing. It was a fantastic way to save money and get some good titles in the process. Ever since things like Xbox LIVE and Steam on PC started to [...]

The reason for this was so that your avatar could respond better to you moves on Kinect, making the avatar’s more humanly proportioned it means they can basically copy your moves a hell of a lot easier.
We live in a wonderful world. A world where technology is bringing people closer together than at any other time in our history. Gamers from the US can play against those in Japan and China, and even Welsh players can be heard. However, all is not well in this 21st century world. Apart from economic stagnation, the cold war in Korea warming up, Russia as a mafia state and the possibility of Sarah Palin being president, there is the trouble [...]
I am one of the these geeks who isn’t the biggest fan of Star Wars. Sure it is an enjoyable series to watch and the concept of the light saber is damn awesome. But story wise I have defiantly seen better. As for Star Wars games there are very few good ones. Knights of the old republic I have a lot of respect for as an RPG.

However, when the movie was released last week, the gamer side of me felt obligated to go and see it, given that it was supposed to be an homage to all things gaming. Two hours later, I walked out of the cinema grinning like a chimpanzee that just spotted [...]

The very idea of downloading some of the best games that retro has to offer on your Xbox LIVE, PlayStation Network and the Wii store has to be one of the most genius ideas that has come out of online gaming in a fair while. The very fact that I have all the sonic games I fell in love with at an early age sitting on my 360 hard drive amazes me. I have years of nostalgia on one console. [...]

Mini demo review I have been feeling a little ashamed of myself of late, and as it is game related shame I feel I must confess. As you all probably know I have been writing under the name ‘GuitarGirl24′ for some time now, and recently this has caused me a some conflict. You see though my name was in part chosen merely for my love of guitar solo’s (and I LOVE a good guitar solo) it was also a reference [...]
