Exciting develops are at large in the gaming world. Last year’s ‘Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster‘ was a huge hit in this household, this year’s ‘Kinect Sesame Street TV’ isn’t a game, as such, but it’s still utterly special. Described as an innovative ‘new 2-way TV’ experience designed for Kinect (Xbox 360), ‘Kinect Sesame […]
This year’s KAPOW! Comic Convention takes place on the weekend of May 19 and 20 at the Business Design Centre, Islington, London. I’m considering an exciting project at the moment, one that would involve me jumping into the comic book world and that’s a perfect excuse to nip down to London next Saturday. Kapow! looks […]
I am proposing a writing challenge. Are you a writer? Would you like to be a writer? Do you write flash fiction? Do you fancy seeing your work published? To celebrate the launch of Xbox Live TV, and its integration with YouTube, I am putting together a collection of flash fiction stories all inspired by […]
Here’s my view on what’s best for those younger gamers this Christmas: Sesame Street: Once Upon A Monster (Xbox 360): I was lucky enough to chat with the developers about this game when I was at Gamescom last summer.

The family were sitting down to watch a film, a tin of Quality Street at the ready, and G was scrolling through LoveFilm’s collection of Christmas films. ‘Look,’ he said. ‘Jack Frost, best Christmas film ever.’ And that was it.

It’s not often that I get overly excited about (non-singing) gaming, but this tablet is a bit special. But before I get too carried away here’s a video thingy that shows just why the uDraw is so fabulous… Udraw is not a game as such, but more of a controller, it’s a GameTablet. uDraw Studio: […]
On Sunday G and I had a rather unusual afternoon in London. We’d been invited down by Xbox to hear all about their big update, which started hitting Xbox 360 consoles around the world yesterday. Having been to many Xbox events now, I can honestly say that my experience on Sunday afternoon was completely ‘out […]
Many of you know that I’m a gamer, but you won’t know that I’m an Xbox Live Ambassador.That’s because it’s only just happened. I got to go to an utterly bizarre Xbox event on Sunday. But before I can tell you about THAT (and boy do I want to!), I am inviting any gamers who […]
You know that sometimes you come across an Xbox game that you know has flaws, that you know you really should hate - but it pulls you in and before you know it you just can’t stop playing? Well that’s Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine. In fact, it’s a bit like Xfactor. You know what’s coming. […]
