GAMEfest 2011 Day 1
September 27th, 2011
GAMEfest 2011 kicked off in style on Friday 16th September 2011 and ended in equally spectacular style on Sunday 18th September. It was full of thrills, giveaways and more swag than any one man could carry, and of course……GIRLS, GIRLS and more GIRLS!
However that is not what you want to hear about so the following is a rundown of my time there and the games I played and saw, followed by my opinions of them.
OnLive – Redefining The Gaming Platform
September 6th, 2011I gave up on PC gaming long ago. I used to take great joy in building my own rig, but as time went on I lost track somewhere down the line of the advancements in PC technology and moved all my gaming over to the XBox 360. I replaced by aging gaming rig with a good spec for the time laptop, but now that’s creaking a bit and stands zero chance of playing any AAA titles coming out nowadays. Lucky I’ve got the console then, isn’t it. But along comes OnLive with a whole new way to play games. Continue Reading…
Call of Duty:Black Ops Mini-League
August 27th, 2011A few months ago we launched a mini-league for Call of Duty:Black Ops that would pit the best of the communities mercenaries against each other in hard fought street-to-street combat. My vision for this event was simple – “Close Quarter Battles”. Continue Reading…
Child of Eden Review
June 17th, 2011
Since Microsoft released motion sensing peripheral Kinect for Xbox 360 it has come under a fair bit of scrutiny as not having enough to interest the ‘hardcore’ gamer. E3 has shown a lot of new ways of interacting with games, but the first ‘proper’ game for Kinect has arrived right now in the form of Child of Eden, and I can safely say it’s a gem. Continue Reading…
Chook’s Chronicles #2 – Adventures in the ‘Pre-owned Zone’
April 19th, 2011With the recent revelation that GAME had been buying up Tesco stock of the new Nintendo 3DS hand-helds, and then selling it themselves as pre-owned stock, at the same price as a brand new 3DS, I take a look at how waiting and buying pre-owned games could save us a pretty penny

Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars Review
March 25th, 2011
Telltale Games are back in the toy box with the latest in the Lego series, Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars. As the title suggests, the game moves outside of the movies and into the realms of the Clone Wars TV show following episodes from the first couple of seasons. If you’ve ever played a Lego game before then you’ll instantly be at home here, but there are a few added extras that continue to improve the Lego series. Continue Reading…
F.3.A.R. Preview
March 21st, 2011
FEAR 3 (F.3.A.R.) is about to evolve the paranormal horror franchise in a new first-person shooter, and if you’re anything like me, you’ll be recalling the jumps, scares, and sudden starts that the previous shockers presented, and start make excuses to leave and visit the bathroom…
