I wanted so desperately to like this game and to say great things about it, but in all honesty I can’t. I downloaded it and played the demo. I had misgivings even then, but I bought the whole episode because I’ve been a long-time fan of the comic book series. I finished it in two …
I just received a copy of the first issue of the magazine China Electronic Entertaiment Developer (CEED), for which I’m writing a regular column. The first one is my article, “My Fingers are Blistered and Bleeding – Writing for Games” which originally appeared on GIGNews. It’s spread over three full pages, which seems pretty impressive, …
You can read it, if you like that sort of thing, over at Amped IGO. Please ignore the fact that I’m referred to as “Scott” at the beginning of the piece. 🙂

I posted this on a number of forums, so I thought it only right that I should post it here, too. 🙂 After the heated debate on Adventure Gamers in the “New Business Model” thread (http://forums.adventuregamers.com/s…ead.php?t=10363) and some of the reactions to the cost versus playing time in the “Bone” thread (http://forums.adventuregamers.com/s…ead.php?t=10390) I’d like to …
I’ve posted the character descriptions and the artwork for each of the finalists. As specified in the rules, all the finalists’ characters have been re-drawn by me to fit the style of the game and to create a more level playing field. Voting will begin on Friday 16th September.

Everyone is probably linking to Greg Costikyan’s two part article Death to the Games Industry: Long Live Games, but in case anyone has missed it, you can find it here: Part One, Part Two. While the first part concentrated on the state of the industry and the stifling of creativity, it was the second part …
Firstly, let me apologise for the temporary hiatus of the strip. The last couple of weeks have been very busy for me and I simply couldn’t find the time to do the strips. Hopefully I’ll be able to provide regular updates from now on. I’ve just finished putting together the strips for this week, so …
GME has been pretty awful. If it wasn’t for the fact that I had a couple of interesting meetings the whole trip would have been a complete waste of time. I really don’t know what the organisers were thinking of when they put this event together, but it really wasn’t planned at all well.It seems …
I’ve just watched one of the most thrilling games of rugby league I’ve ever seen. Hull beat Leeds by 25 points to 24 with a last minute try and conversion. Brilliant stuff considering Hull were the underdogs. I’ve not had much opportunity to watch the team for the last few seasons, but watching it on …
