It is with a tiny twinge of sadness (but mostly excitement) that I must inform you I am joining the team at http://www.australiangamer.com.

Last night I met up with the Brisbane Australian Gamer team Yug, Phill, Matt and friend of AG, Yahtzee. This is a big step up from Lava Level and easily one of the [...]

The control is perfect, I don’t think it could have been executed any better. This game couldn’t exist on any other platform, with [...]

So the distributor Red Ant and developer Bethesda are refusing to give any details as to what has been cut from the Australian release of Fallout 3.

Most people answer the question ‘what would you reincarnate as’ with ‘a bird’. We look at those flying free parasitic angels with such envy.
