Trying out Deus Ex Human Revolution tonight. Will report back
I am oddly underwhelmed by LA Noire. It’s repetitive and lacks the charm, humour of GTA. Persevering with it for now.

I am completely addicted to Shadow Cities on iPhone. Will write about it at some point - it’s MMO gone mobile

It’s like watching the FInal Fantasy movie and occasionally mashing some buttons.
Downloaded Mario World from Wii Virtual Console. Still probably the best Mario title for my money
To say FFXIII is full of long complicated cutscenes and not much action is a massive understatement

Not games related, but I absolutely heart the Deftones’ White Diamond. What a record. Why it’s named after cheapo cider I don’t know.
Got my @Gamestmmag 100th anniversary edition today - fantastic read, great mag. Such a fast-moving industry needs a good champion/critic.
Very much fallen off the Football Manager bandwagon. Taking Woking to Champions’ League glory.
Gamestm magazine: 100 Greatest Games Of All Time... →
Very nice cover feature from IP’s Gamestm magazine. It’s the best all-round games title for me, mixing an unlikely blend of previews, reviews, news, opinion, features, retro stuff and industry business news.
It doesn’t seem to favour any one platform or genre and its choice for the best games of all time are spot on. The inclusion of Spectrum classics Elite, Head over Heels and...

Still haven’t got through Portal 1, but enjoying the non-combat-ness of it. Very rare to find a game that doesn’t involved shooting things.

Sports games and the law of diminishing returns
They say the only certain things in life are life, death and taxes.
Maybe “they” should add another item to that list: the endless, unstoppable annual release of sports gaming titles.
As night follows day and islands crumble into the sea, EA Sports will release new versions of its FIFA, Tiger Woods golf, NBA, Madden etc franchises each year. Like clockwork.
This is why sports...
