I’m no good at platform games (I always fall off the jumps) and I’ve no creative ability (can’t translate my mind’s eye into reality) but for some reason I really enjoy LittleBigPlanet. I think that’s a great pointer towards the success of the game. I’m not the only one who enjoys the game. There are […]
Apple versus Nintendo – what about the WiiPad?
This isn’t a WiiPad. Yup; there’s an iPad. Yup; there’s a WiiMote. It’s actually a jailbroken iPad being used to run SNES games. In this case the iPad is playing Super Mario World. Straight away, I think, this video illustrates what a threat Apple is to the causal gaming hopes of Nintendo and Sony. All […]
Sadie O’Down, Insignificant Other, versus Kratos, God of War 3
I don’t always think Sony gets it right with their TV advertising. This ad for God of War 3, however, is fantastic. Actually; it might not be Sony behind this one – could be the developers Santa Monica Studio – but my hunch is that it’s Sony. Why is the ad any good? Because it’s […]

Wow. The PSP gets a comic store
At first I thought I was going to be annoyed – that the US was getting a comic store for the PSP and that here the UK we’d get nothing. In fact, the comic store launches in the US today but should be in the UK very soon. Tomorrow at 5pm, I hear. The only […]
