When you get home from a hard day at work, you stick on your 360 or PS3 and within minutes you can be enjoying a pleasantly unhealthy dose of escapism; killing aliens or crashing fast, expensive cars. And all this is likely done from a control pad or, if ... more.

    It's not until one of the big developers comes out and actually officially announces something HUGE that you jump to the calender and mark off the day of release. Wednesday, when Sega announced they were re-releasing Sonic Adventure and Crazy Taxi for Live and the PSN, felt like one of those days to me.... more.

  • An I-Play Special: My Gaming Holiday

    19 CommentsPosted by Mat Growcott on June 3, 2010 under Columns, I-Play
    when I started packing for this holiday, I packed games I knew I would play and enjoy and that didn't necessarily have the 'wow' and 'newness' factor of games that I usually struggle through just to say I did it. I took games I'd gotten to a point with and then just left.Man, I didn't know what was coming.... more.

  • 1911: A Very Good Year

    4 CommentsPosted by Mat Growcott on May 21, 2010 under Columns, I-Play
    One of the key elements that attracted me to this game is not the huge open world to explore – Although I am enjoying games like Fable II at the moment – nor is it the fact that this game has been branded as “Grand Theft Auto with horses”. Instead, it's the fact that this game is set in 1911.... more.

    So I was playing Left For Dead 2 with my girlfriend in split-screen - remember kids, the couple that slays zombies together, stays together – and some guy sends her a message asking if she has a mic. She says no. He says “Shame ;)”.A couple of minutes later, after no proper reply (Unless you count a cat face as a reply) she gets another message from the same guy.“You should get one ;).”... more.

    And this, I think, is where the problem comes from. It's not so much the achievement system that people have the problem with. The idea of showing how far you are willing to go in a game is something I would have thought would catch on quite well. But when you can get 9-odd golds JUST for completing a game on hard mode then you know that the game is tipped in your favour. ... more.
