Not-so Final Fantasy VII: Timrogersailius

Ha! I return, and what have decided to discuss on my return? Erm, this article by Tim Rogers on the website Kotaku. First off, I used to kind of enjoy Tim Rogers when back in the first few years at GamesTM, I quickly developed the feeling that he was a little too self absorbed for [...]

#oneaday Retro Review: Metal Gear Solid

I usually try and do one of these each weekend for bitparade.co.uk, doesn’t always happen though, but this week I’ve managed it and as you can see, have been covering Metal Gear Solid.   It says alot about a particular franchise that its fans can overlook the fact each instalment has become more and more [...]

I used to buy into hype surrounding games all the time, but despite running bitparade I started pretty [...]
