In 2012 the event will be held in Manchester city a few weeks earlier!

Another week and more games.

So its almost trick or treat time, your local cable TV is showing marthons of scarry movies, are you playing any scarry games? I must admit I dont find games very scarry, but a few have made me jump. Here are a few in no order, wany you would add? or even disagree with?

More new games, and some thoughts.

I've been working on this thing I'm calling a game pitch for a few weeks now and thought it was time to put it out there to see what people think of the general concept. In a nutshell, this is Deus Ex with Time Travel, Tactical Combat, and Disco Dancing. I've also made big changes to the way character creation, leveling, and dialog are handled.

It's not complete, but I think there's enough here for you to get the basic idea and see whether it sounds like something you'd be interested in playing. It's not totally original or super ambitious or anything, but for what it's worth I've tried to imagine the sort of game I'd most like to play and this is it.

Let me know what you like about it first, and then we can get down to what needs re-thinking.

Oh, I know for sure this is way, way beyond anything I'm personally capable of developing myself. The "dream scenario" is that we could get this to a real developer who can turn the dream into reality (without, let's hope, altering it beyond recognition).

I keep saying it, im a MMO addict.. Im skipping the RPG part as IM quite enjoying some other types. I tedn to try them all and play most at least a month unless there are glareing issues (opinion).

I have at long last got around to upgrading the 2nd house TV which is the main "downstairs gaming TV". A nice 32" Sony LCD. Have connected the Wii up via component cable and it looks splendid. Because the screen isn't too big the Wii's shortcomings aren't an issue; it upscales DVDs nicely too - just tested disc 1 of LOTR - Fellowship and the results are very nice.

OK, now there are famously bad consoles, handhelds, computers, that are well known and seem to be brought up constantly (CDi bad games / Virtua Boy hard on eyesight / Jaguar poor support / 3DO expensive etc) now fanboyism aside, personally I believe every one of these and all the rest no matter how bad served a purpose whether it was a niche need or simply teaching others what NOT to do lol! Wit this in mind I would like you to name a system that many people "hate" on or maybe just that is not a personal favorite and name at least one good point (OR MORE) about this system!

RetrosexualHi, guys. I've been working on a new song for the past couple of weeks and thought I'd upload it here for your enjoyment. I plan to make a fun video to go with it, but would like to see what you think of the tune first. I'm particularly interested in what parts you find the funniest.
