Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

Doing my usual weekly shop in Tesco and spotted what I photographed below.  Click the thumbnail to show the big image.  What you will see is an advertising board about saving energy with some leaflets about how to reduce your carbon footprint - it’s standing right next to a huge pile of BBQ coal briquettes.  […]

Condemned 2 - Finished

Saturday, April 5th, 2008

Assassin’s Creed

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

Well, this is an odd little game. First impressions were pretty positive - superb graphics, excellent animations, strange plot - all of the ingredients were there, but after about an hour (shortly after getting the horse in fact), things started to fall apart. The indifferent controls started to irritate, and you start to […]
