I’ve had a good bit of time to get my teeth into Fallout 3 now, and I’m loving it.
Having spent a bit of time in Megaton wandering round (and acquiring a house. Very handy ) I’m now starting to head more into the Washington DC part of the game. At the [...]

Last week saw the release of the latest in the Fallout series of RPGs.
I’ve got Fallout 1 & 2 in the house, but I’d never really played them much (should really dig them out), however when I saw the hype for Fallout 3, I was very excited.  I’m a huge Oblivion fan, so the idea [...]

Well, Mass Effect was released last week, although I was away, so I didn’t get a chance to play it until I got back on Sunday night.
The setup for the universe is pretty interesting.   All races in the galaxy owe their technology to the remains of a previous civilisation, The Protheans.  There’s a council of [...]

I’ve been barely gaming at all over the last couple of months. With being a bit burned out by work, most nights on the PC have been spent either updating missing album artwork in iTunes, reading Wikipedia articles and forum posts, or seeing what’s on Youtube.
However, this weekend I finally managed to get in [...]

Ran the latest bunch of Ubuntu updates last night, which nicely killed my installation. Fortunately I eventually twigged that the updates had included a new kernel image, and was able to reboot off the old one. Fiesty Fawn (Ubuntu 7.04) was released yesterday, so that’ll be the weekend’s project.
Finished replaying Star Wars: Knights [...]
