It’s been nearly two years since I released the first version of Mr. Smoozles Goes Nutso. Today is the first time I’ve been aware of anyone visiting the page I set up as a kind of Easter Egg. So, congratulations to the site visitor from Munich – you may well be the first person to …
I just got back from Leipzig and while I’m waiting for millions of e-mails to download I thought I’d post some thoughts and comments about the show and some of the goings on. Firstly, the main reason I was there in the first place: So Blonde – Nintendo VersionIn a very well-attended press conference, DTP …
Over at Reflexive, someone has posted a 5-star review of Nutso. I love it when gamers enjoy the game and make known their appreciation.
I’ve just read a pretty cool review of So Blonde. It’s always so encouraging to read positive reviews. “Overall So Blonde is a very good and enjoyable game that will remind old timers of the great Lucas Art games of the 90s like Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Island and Full Throttle. For the young’uns …
The big adventure game news this week has been the announcement that Telltale Games will be producing a series of games featuring Wallace and Gromit. You can read the official press release, here. The thing that struck me as really odd is that nowhere in the whole press release is there a mention of Nick …
Hooray, I’m going again. And posting again. 🙂 I’ll be at the game convention on the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Last year was so insane with meetings and interviews that I felt I had no time to myself. This year, though, DTP have left me with Friday to myself so that I can see the …

Just lately I’ve been getting a lot of people in Poland coming to the site from online searches for my name. I’m curious what’s happening in Poland that’s warranted this increased interest in me. If anyone knows, could you …
I received my first piece of hate mail today and actually find it quite funny. The following is the entirety of the message: “your game sucks, go **** a goat and don’t make video-game stories ever again! Bad bad bad bad bad writer!” Obviously, I edited the line to take out the expletive, but I’m …
Yesterday, my youngest son got married and a wonderful day was had by all, in spite of some dreadful weather. Thankfully we managed everything indoors. So, congratulations to Jason and Suzanne! Have a great life together!
Beth Dillon asked me if I’d link to Notes on Game Dev, which is a blog style editorial on art and design topics. I’ve not read an awful lot of it yet, but what I’ve seen so far looks very interesting and highly relevant. Much more so than my own blog at the moment. So …
I like the reviewer’s clear style and the way that he appreciated all of the elements of the game I’d hoped players would. I accept that the backtracking was overdone and I won’t do it again. 🙂
The French site, Tom’s Games, reviewed So Blonde and gave it 17/20, which is absolutely brilliant.
