8 Bit Strange – Support Needed

I’ve just added 8bitstange.com to the list of my webcomic/gaming sites. It now sits proudly alongside Order of the Stick, xkcd and Penny Arcade to name but a few. Why have I done this? Well, 8 bit strange is a new site set up by an animator called Greg Kaperski which currently contains 2 episodes

Kinect (Xbox 360) – First Impressions

Now that Weefz and I got to play with Microsoft’s Kinect (previously known as Project Natal) for Xbox 360 courtesy of the Kinect galleries, here’s my summary of our Kinect experience. As I covered in my Kinect galleries post last week, you can book your 30 min Kinect session either via facebook or in person at 4-6 Russell Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2E 7BN. The location itself is pretty easy to get to as it’s right next to the Covent Garden market. It is also pretty inconspicuous too with swathes of Kinect flags adorning the outside of the location. You really can’t miss it.



Cover Art

Cover Art

If you’d asked me about cover art 3 years ago I would have told you that it makes no difference to me whatsoever. I buy games on the strength of publisher loyalty, developer loyalty, demos and reviews, in that order. Sometimes I’ll read reviews which prompt me to play the demo, but I’ll never buy

#Weekender Write-up

On Saturday I headed over to South Bank for the Hide and Seek Weekender. It was brilliant! I wasn’t there long but the atmosphere was outstanding and it was great to meet and have fun random new people. I ended up only signing up for one game, Segue which was run by Enterplay. The other

Ubisoft’s Anti-Piracy Plan Is Short-sighted

Do not buy PC versions of Ubisoft games, their new anti-piracy measures are stupid.

Fallout 3 Gameplay Videos

Sep 1st, 2008 | By Debbie "Weefz" Timmins

I find myself strangely disturbed by Fallout 3 Gameplay video 4. For some reason, the chainsaw bayonet blood splatter in Gears of War is nasty but appropriate. This level of gore in Fallout seems plain Wrong. I don’t know if it’s the slow-motion action or the exploding body parts that are more distateful. Perhaps it’s

Priston Tale 2 Coming to Europe

Jul 22nd, 2008 | By Debbie "Weefz" Timmins

Anyone out there played Priston Tale? I know it’s Korean but since our readers are apparently 12-17 and Asian, you never know. Anyway, I ask because Priston Tale 2 is coming to Europe and I do love a good MMORPG. Have a quick look at the official Priston Tale 2 website and then come back.
