As I mentioned a few weeks back Cavemen by Lightworks Games has just been released. To encourage everyone to buy it, and to help give feedback to one of the creators (Walter, who used to sit next to me back on MVH) I thought I’d write up a quick review.

Cliff, at work, has signed up for the 14 days trial of Eve-Online. If my plans for removing sleep from my life had been fulfilled, it’s definitely a game I would sign up to. It’s the best MMO and one of the best space games I’ve played. If it weren’t for the hundreds of hours [...]

So I just finished my first game of Civ IV. It took a little over 8 hours and I ended up loosing closely to the Germans in a space race. The game is simply amazing. I’ll need to have a few more games before I can make a detailed description of exactly why it’s so [...]

I decided it’s time I added my top 10 games of all time. After uttering the words “X is the greatest game, it’s in my top 10″ for about 30 different games I thought I should put them in writing. Here goes:
