Last post I linked to this awesome Games Radar collection of 365 free games, 365 Days of Free Games
I had been working my way through the list testing out anything that sounded interesting, when I stumbled upon this little gem, Alteraction’s Masq

The best way I can describe Masq would be an interactive choose your own [...]

I think Age of Conan may be dead to me. I hadn’t played it for a while and tried to get back into it yesterday. I think these are it’s final dying breathes as it clutches at me, getting me all excited creating a new character and starting to play until I realise I refuse [...]

This is very Australian specific but still worth checking out to see how broken our rating system is…

Sometimes I get a feeling or theme stuck in my head. A culmination of different experiences that lead to a niggling idea or want. Through Penny Arcade I found the Joss Whedon’s free online mini musical Dr. Horrible (as I am sure plenty of you did) and then [...]

I have been toying around with the Political Machine 08 and my conclusion is… that I have no idea how the American democratic system works. The game itself is great and quirky; using bobble heads for characters and has menus set up like voting slips. My issue is I just don’t know what I’m trying [...]

So in an odd turn of events it seems the gf has gotten me into Animal Crossing Wild World for DS.
I suggested the title for her as it has everything girls love, cuddly animals, adorable outfits and raccoon extortion. It connected immediately with her and in no time she was decorating her house and forming [...]
