Right, Reaprar is a staggering bucket of fail and cack so yesterday had no recap. I'm not covering his cock-ups, so no double recap I'm afraid. I don't have enough cider for that. The Colecovision is better than all 3 consoles, FACT (tho...

Every game on the Virtual Console is a reminder of gaming's past. Some of these games hold special meaning for us all as a collective while some are among the greatest games of all time. 1 of today's games is where it all began for me, the ...

Did I mention I had a Turbografx-16? Yes? OK then, I'm still a bit giddy, I get a jump in my pants whenever I look up and see it sitting there, HuCard on top and single controller port empty because otherwise my nephew will drag the thing o...

A few weeks ago I parted with £9 and picked up a Neo Geo Pocket Colour, I then ebayed Dark Mist and Sonic Pocket for it and played the hell out of them. Well, Sonic anyway. Dark Mist has yet to be started, I'll correct that at some point. ...

While PAX was no doubt awesome and most enforcers were cool, lets not forget what happens when you give geeks power Warning: Ceark's PAX recap may cause insane jealousy if you weren't there While everyone else hates on levels and mechanics...

So this week is traditionally WiiWare week, however with the Hanabi Festival on I was wondering how we'd get it. Will Virtual Console still wait a week? Will we get Japanese WiiWare games? Neither as it happens, we have both domestic WiiWa...

And so, like a blood stained Phoenix rising from a bad metaphor, the c-blog recaps slowly splutter back into life, led by a new breed of community heroes with way too much time on their hands. I've chosen to try my hand at it, for Tuesday a...

After 6 weeks of tirelessly trawling the c-blogs searching for good, challenging questions that don't all equal "Who wrote about this?" I feel its time to give myself a break from the quiz. The quiz will return in a few weeks time. So in...

Its WiiWare week! Usually this brings the sort of begrudging indifference that turns me into something like a cross between Rev Anthony and Topher when Bliss Island 2 comes out. However this week brings the first WiiWare game I've been genu...

The 29th Olympic Games are currently taking place in Beijing, China. You may have noticed. In 4 years time the games will be coming to my home country, giving me what will likely be the only chance I'll ever have to see the games in person....

Seriously, can we give that quote a rest? Who was raped by the c-blogs? Which Soul Calibur character's a cheap fag? Which custom creation might go 'Ni'? Isn't it amazing how a month flies by so quickly. 4 weeks of c-blogs have passed a...

The Apprentice is cheap as fuck. If you're using him on a regular basis then know that I hate you and everyone related to you and that given the chance I'll hunt you down with the nearest sharp object. So, Soul Calibur 4 critique over (exp...

OK, I get it. No-one on the internet likes Guitar Hero because why would you play a Guitar Hero game when you could play Rock Band with that horrible, horrible guitar. Fuck Rock Band. And I can say that as someone who was playing with the d...
