It's been a while since I wrote my first 'Games That Should Have Babies' entry, and would you believe that not a single developer has picked up on my idea of a Godzilla: Save the Earth / Project...
For the last few weeks, the majority of my spare time has been spent working towards level 40 in World of Warcraft. Just 40,000 xp from now, I'll not only be able to blow all of my gold on a Ram...
To give you some idea of how much I love World of Warcraft, how badly I need a new PC, and why I can often be found at the office at weekends now, here are a few screenshots taken on the laptop...
Dear Blizzard, I have some late-night, can't-be-bothered-to-wait-in-line-for-Ner'Zhul suggestions for you. Some might seem reasonable, some might be pie in the sky, and at least one might just be...
OK, so it's been ages since I updated this journal (again), but I've been really busy, honest. There was Christmas back in the UK, there was flying back to San Francisco in time for New Year with...
OK, so yet again I've gone far longer than I should without making a journal entry. I have a good excuse, though, and its name is World of Warcraft. You knew that was coming, right? So anyway,...

I've been playing some FIFA Soccer 2005 this weekend and I'm pleased to report that my career as the manager of Yeovil Town has got off to a great start. I'm enjoying the game more than I have...

Just got back from Day 2 of the show. Predictably, the place was absolutely rammed full of paying public and, just as predictably, I've had to stand in line for every single game I played today -...
OK, so I've actually been to the Tokyo Game Show twice before, but it's been a few years since I was here last and I feel like I'm learning no end of useful stuff about all things Japanish this...
I'm sure that most of you reading this couldn't actually care less about my Lets Go Bowling exploits, but since Bethany isn't here right now, this journal is my only outlet. I just got 168!!...
The only game I love more than Burnout 3 right now, the GameSpot arcade's trackball-based tenpin bowling simulation. The pin physics are practically non-existent, the graphics and sounds haven't...
I see that you've decided not to include Xbox Live functionality in the European version of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005 - so now I won't be able to talk to my dad and my brother back home whilst...
You need to know that Xbox Live isn't usually anything like this sucky, in fact, Xbox Live doesn't usually suck at all. I've lost count of the times I've failed to connect to Burnout 3 games,...
OK, so there have been a ton of games that I've enjoyed since Final Fantasy VII way back in the day, but I can't for the life of me think of one since then that I've not only played before leaving...
Bought my third Xbox today. PAL machine bought at launch - died last year. Limited Edition translucent green PAL machine bought to replace number 1. NTSC machine bought so that I could play...
