This month’s gamer banter is an unusually specific question: Has a character redesign ruined how you feel about a character? Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!

As an average gamer who pays for all her own games, I’m pretty good at avoiding the terrible ones. At £30+ quid a pop in an industry with stupendous marketing budgets I usually make damn sure I’ve done my research before buying anything. Yet I have a terrible disability when it comes to the two Computer Exchange branches just off [...]

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 a game on just reviews. [...]

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

When did T&A become a prerequisite for female character design?

TheFluffyFist joins Blog Banter: What is the biggest stereotype about gamers? Do you fit it or not?

Yep, I got screwed by Microsoft's credit card policy as well. Card cancellation is apparently not an obstacle for their payment system.

Showcase a kid who doesn't conform to the herd, fights for the underdog and stands up for himself and his friends? Heaven forfend...

Weefz is totally new to the Harvest Moon franchise. It shows.

Update 7th Feb 2009: The saga is over! Microsoft have now given us the option to remove credit card details through Xbox.com. See Remove Your Credit Card Details from Xbox Live – ONLINE! for details. A few months ago I decided to purchase a months Xbox Live Gold membership. As you all know this is very easy to do. Enter [...]

I’m a sucker for a pinball game. What can I say? They’re quick, they’re casual and most of all, they’re simple. Sort of. I played the XBLA demo for ten minutes, decided it wasn’t crap and bought it on the spot. You’d think I’d learn by now, hey? Pinball game mechanics are simple. I haven’t yet seen a pinball game [...]
