L.A. Noire - More Gollum, less Jar Jar Binks....
L.A. Noire looks good. I’m not going to say whether I think it will actually be a good game game or not, I’ll leave that to the fanboys, but regardless of the review scores, what L.A. Noire gives us is that the opportunity to sit on the sofa and go… “oh, it’s him! you know, that guy from that show” Just like we do with TV shows. The technology being used...

An offer you can refuse - Mass Effect 2's digital...
The news that Mass Effect 2 was coming to Sony’s PSN was a welcome one. I like digital distribution as a platform when it’s done correctly, which makes it frustrating when the benefits of digital distribution are ignored. Valve is doing a great job with Steam, it recognises how it can benefit the consumer, as well as the developers, and tries to keep everyone happy. Crazy Steam sales...

Buy one, get one free - Valve giving as good as it...
Valve are very successfully. Many times I’ve called them ‘the Pixar of the games industry’, and there are very few development studios that are in touch with their communities as Valve are. There are also very few who are as generous. Last e3 Gabe Newell surprisingly strode out onto the stage at Sony’s keynote press conference, and within 3 and a half minutes did a...

PuzzleRaiser development issues, fixes and design... →
Thanks to those that tried out the puzzleRaiser prototype build. Had lots of really nice feedback. The best thing is that most of the concerns were based around technical issues, which is great because I’ve not touched anything outside of the basic game mechanics. All I wanted to know is whether the basic idea is actually any fun, then I would know whether it was worth carrying...

Queen wins premier league, dev gets reward....
So, the very friendly (judging by the 10 minutes I chatted with him last summer) Miles Jacobson got an OBE… He’s one of the directors at Sports Interactive, the developers of Football Manager, so I’m guessing she’s had some good seasons this year, taking Wycombe Wanderers to the premier league title and qualifying for europe for the first time… ...
