Best Game 25-21
25) The Sims 3 – Maxis – 2009 – PC There’s no game quite like The Sims, and I have lost hundreds of hours managing houses full of Sims. I’ve mostly played the original game, and its many expansions, but I opted for the superior third iteration which is the best way to experience the … Continue reading
Top 10 Games – #6
Super Mario Galaxy – Nintendo – 2007 – Wii A distinct change for number 6 on our list, Mario had to be here sooner or later. The plumber has been the best in his genre ever since his debut in Donkey Kong and while there have been a few hiccups along the way, his back … Continue reading

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater – Kojima Productions – 2005 – PS2, PS3, 360, 3DS Another post, another Metal Gear and the game that most fans of the series would pick as their favourite.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots – Kojima Productions – 2008 – PS3 ‘Metal Gear?!?’ A question and exclamation that is old hat to Solid Snake as Metal Gear Solid 4 begins. It’s a similar sort of reaction to the one I have when I play games in the series, a fear of … Continue reading

Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal – Nintendo – 2001 – GBC Pokémon is perfect. It’s hard to imagine the games industry without it, the yearly releases of new ‘versions’ keeping the series current whilst never sacrificing that incredible RPG formula. Few RPG franchises could get away with this sort of release schedule, but when you’re … Continue reading

Half-Life 2 – Valve – 2004 – PC, Xbox, Xbox 360, PS3 A true modern classic in every sense of the word, Valve were onto something when they launched the original Half-Life back in 1998. What they were onto turned out to be Half-Life 2, the best FPS in history and one of the most … Continue reading

From the outset you’ll notice that … Continue reading
A Week In The Life…26/02/12
It’s been a few weeks since I’ve written a weekly roundup, with my Grammy articles taking precedence. Let’s get back on this. TUNE of Right Now: Dance (A$$) Remix (Feat. Nicki Minaj) – Big Sean There are plenty of current tunes, such as Somebody That I Used To Know, Part of Me and Hot Right … Continue reading
Why Starships is the worst decision of Nicki Minaj’s career so far…
I’ve written a fair few articles about Nicki Minaj and how impressed I am with her success. Let me be clear from the start of this immediately scathing article though, and say that she’s one of my favourite new artists in years, inventive, original and a female rapper worth caring about.

Grammys 2012: Was it worth the effort?
This time last year I was recovering from a truly shocking Grammys, which saw 2 of the big 4 awards go to outsiders. The awards themselves were as predicted in 2012, and while I’m here to take a look back on last night’s action, I’ll try and keep this brief. The whole night was … Continue reading
