    Ghosthunter (PS2)

    Picked this up for 7 quid in Woolies. It’s surprisingly good – it uses a novel joint third person and over the shoulder aiming view – exactly the same as the new Resident Evil game. Except, of course, Ghosthunter was released a year or two...

    BBC NEWS | Politics | Blair defends house arrest plan

    Well there we have it. That lovely Mr Blair would like to follow in the footsteps of Apartheid by giving law enforcement officials the power to effectively imprison and silence anyone the state considers to be a supporter of “terrorism”. Without trial, without being required...

    Gaaaaah. Helm’s flaming Deep

    It’s not often I get in a temper tantrum through frustration, but Third Age has done it. I’m playing it on hard mode because anything less than that is just stupidly non challenging. Up till now, it’s all been going swimmingly except the developers have...
