February 29 Friday links and Patrick blogs offWell, a year and nine days after launching Tech & Gadgets the time has come for me to hand over the baton and jog steadily into the night. It’s been a cracking journey; building the site from nothing to the biggest tech site in the UK (according to Comscore) – and I’ve loved every minute of it*. The site is in capable hands in Jane, and she will be joined by a second editor in the coming weeks. Any for the fans of my writing (Hi Mum), I will be continuing on as MSN’s weekly gaming columnist, so Elvis has NOT left the building, he’s just moved into the annex. Anywho – thanks for all the support that you’ve given the site in the past 12 months, and I hope that things like the blog, the Whatever happened to… series and the soon to be launched gaming section will continue in my absence. In the meantime, I’ll get on with our traditional Friday links – my last – brought to you through a haze of tears. *Apart from the time I wrote the vinyl article and everyone hated me... Friday links I'll start with a pic from the brilliant fail blog
Futurama has made regular cameo appearances on the blog (and on the site) so I'll start with this page of IMDB Futurama quotes. Kif I'm feeling the captain's itch... Old favourite Yahtzee takes on Drake's Fortune and...it loses. And here's an old Yahtzee classic - Halo 3 Charlie Brooker's latest column, and an old one that hinted (sadly erroneously) that TV Go Home would make a return A few people have sent in classic YouTube's like sellotape cat and dramatic chipmunk. But let's not forget the equally amazing Sweeney Scientology vid and the Boris Johnson tackle (if he REALLY wanted to be London major he'd just pay for this to be shown on a loop in Piccadilly Circus). Just for good measure I'll chuck in the genius moment when the Beeb interviewed the wrong person and Gary Busey being mad when interviewed by a child. A pic from lolcats
Mac v PC v Linux done with South Park characters and a great article on where gaming is headed How about the latest ironman trailer OR find out what happens when the stopwatch on an iPhone hits 1000 hours. GLaDOS in reality and a cycle path from hell. Awesome short story from MMS
I interviewed CliffyB once - but now he's attracted the ire of the PC brigade :) Two awesome flash games - the prize-winning Irondukes and this absolutely phenomenal gamers flash game. Many thanks to Simon Lloyd (and rabbits), Matt Broadley, Katherine Fluke, James Andrews, Antony Bennison, Henry Biggs, Jane Douglas and everyone else who has contributed.
February 26 E-Day - the good and badIn case you’ve missed it, tomorrow is E-Day, the day in which we are all being urged to switch off the technology in our homes when we aren’t using it. It’s actually a very important point being made, although I have to profess that I am probably as (if not more) guilty than most people for leaving things on standby, my chargers plugged in when I’m not charging anything and charging things that hadn’t actually run down very much anyway.
I think I actually represent the vast majority of people when I shamefully admit that I am dreadfully lazy about powering down electronics – I do, admittedly, have quite a lot of them, but it’s not really an excuse. I’m due to move house next week and (not fir the first time) I’m going to try to institute some energy saving methods. As my fellow Mussentag editor Jane Douglas pointed out – I could, for instance, use the intellipanel for the PC and switch off the mouse charger (nooo) and the keyboard charger (noooo!) and even the shiny little LEDs on my USB hub (but they’re so pretty!) all with one click. But, in all honesty I could also probably have the several chargers by my bed (shaver, PSP, mobile phone, ) on one extension lead etc etc. According to USwitch’s research:
My mobile phone is also my alarm clock – so it sits by my bed at night – recharging and ready to bring me out of a night’s slumber; will I ever do anything but charge it overnight? Honestly? Probably not. 53% of people leave their set top boxes on standby. Now this bears more consideration because, for me, I always have done this. Why? Because my set top box is a PVR and as such is my video which records the programmes that I am not around for. For it to actually do this I need to leave it switched on. My Sky+ box used to be always properly on (I was too lazy to find out if it recorded stuff when it was in standby [it does]) but a hardware change means that the box is automatically put into standby at 3 in the morning (when the majority of people aren’t using it) Good work Sky. So – as much as I embrace E-Day and its ethos, I won’t be following all the advice.
February 21 Friday lynx for cheetahs (on Thursday)Well I'm not around tomorrow (or today if you're reading this on Friday, or yesterday if you... you get the idea) so I'm bringing forward our regular look back at the hottest T&G articles of the week AND the best links that we’ve bumped into and shaken hands with on the old World Wide Web. Our weblinks section at the bottom contains possibly the best ever selection (I kid you not) and I URGE you to keep sending in the always ace suggestions so that next week (incidentally my last, more later) will be the greatest OF ALL TIME. Let's raise the bar people ... Let’s start with a look at our week, right here on MSNT&G. (pronounced MussenTarg) Links, Links, Links! The raging debate over the past seven days has been the Max Gogarty blog. Max, the son of travel journalist Paul, started his blog but was immediately castigated in the comments. This then prompted a response from the Travel editor. Closing comments on the articles (which is pretty lame from such a brilliantly focused online site) hasn't stopped the debate, although Max did, briefly, make Wikipedia. It's modern, funny, slightly sad (poor kid) but the wider debate is fascinating. Will Wikipedia agree to keep the reference? Will cancelling the blog remove Max's chance to truly respond? Is this nepotism? We'll keep an eye on the situation. Phew! Onto other matters; a few quick and great links this week include - George Clooney in Jelly Babies (not a phrase I would have ever thought I'd be typing), a brilliant do you dress like a Douchebag? flowchart (thanks Katie F!) and another KF find - carnage on Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 (listen to the noises if you can). It's the build up that makes it awesome... A really cool new cars blog has appeared called stealthcars - which is worth a look if autos are your thang. The video viral this week has been the proposal at a televised basketball match that doesn't quite go to plan (you'll laugh you'll cry...) Charlie Brooker tackles fascist smoking policy and friend of the site Michael Marshall | Smith makes the Crimesquad top 10 for crime books. Bringing up the regulars in the Friday Links is Yahtzee at the GDC. Great Duke Nukem summation... An awesome gravity powered lamp is cool gadget of the week and regular T&G blog follower Si provides not just a great flash game but also a link to the ever-reliable B3TA's question of the week, with a great mixtape tale. I'd like to end the blog by pointing out that my dad is not a journalist, nor has he ever written for any broadsheet newspaper. I went to Grammar school but only because I passed the 11+ and I had to go through three interviews and jump through umpteen hoops to get this job in the first place. So there... Gears of War 2 announced and GDC round-upWith the Games Developer's Conference well underway there has been a load of gaming news coming to the fore.
The success of GoW meant a follow-up was a no-brainer, but the game has now been dated to November this year. “To our team the original game was just a tease, the appetizer to the ‘Gears of War’ characters and new style of gameplay. We were so amped to get to the next chapter, and dig deeper into the universe of this franchise,” said Cliff Bleszinski, lead designer for Epic Games. "Gears of War 2 is an even bigger, better, and more badass experience than the first game, and we can’t wait to get it in the hands of eager gamers this November.”
"Molyneux also announced that later this year, and before the launch of “Fable 2,” gamers can get a sneak peek at the game’s world when the “Fable 2” pub games debut as a stand-alone download on Xbox LIVE Arcade. "When “Fable 2” launches, gamers will have the ability to transfer currency earned in the pub games directly to their character in “Fable 2.” This unique and first-of-its-kind experience, which can be found only on Xbox LIVE Arcade, will give the millions of “Fable” fans and gamers all around the globe the opportunity to jump into the “Fable 2” world with money already in the bank." Bethesda's long-awaited Star Trek game for the Wii and PS2 - Star Trek: Conquest - will be availabe in Q1 2008, although a precise date has not been given. Press release:
Finally, Xbox 360 owners will be able to build and share their own games over LIVE arcade. "As the first in the industry to pioneer high-speed online gaming and high-definition games, Xbox 360 once again broke new ground by introducing a new, open distribution service for games created by the community and soon playable by its 10 million Xbox LIVE members," read the press release. “The time has come for the games industry to open its doors to all game creators, enabling anyone to share their creations with the world,” said John Schappert, corporate vice president of LIVE, Software and Services for the Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft. “Our goal is to drive a creative and social revolution in games with the same transformative power that we’ve seen in digital music and video sharing.”
Technorati Tags: xbox, fable 2, gears of war 2, molyneux, lionhead, GDC, Games developers conference, star trek conquest February 20 Tech & Gadgets is 1!Happy birthday to us..happy birthday to us...
Since those early days it's been a rollercoaster ride of gadgets, games, more games, a few more gadgets and of course all the news and reviews that you could shake a pointy stick at. When we (in the Royal sense - I was a team of one until this month) started out, the aspirations for T&G were fairly moderate. MSN HQ knew that the tech side of things were not being given the coverage that they should, and appointed someone to come in and revamp the whole area. My first decision on arrival was in steering the name of the channel away from 'Digital Life' and towards its current title, and regardless of whether that was right or wrong* the past 12 months have been very kind to us. Now we find ourselves more or less at the top of the tree in terms of the number of people looking at articles and features in terms of UK Tech websites; we have one of the most outstanding collection of news feeds around and we are all set to launch MSN T&G Gaming - the first purpose built computer games channel in the site's history. On top of this we now have Rob Clymo as our Gadget columnist, writing weekly and, last but not least, Jane Douglas has arrived to bring a whole new viewpoint to the site. PLUS we'll have a new gaming columnist and a celebrity writer that we will unveil once they are ready to go. So, thanks so much for all the support, it's been *sob* emotional. *It was right. February 18 Why do TV computers HAVE to talk?I watched the BBC's new drama last night The Last Enemy - which I'd been excited about all week, and I have to confess that a few things about it irritated me. Let's be honest - premise wise, it's right up my street, set in a near-future Britain that has caved in to 1984 style surveillance and ID cards because of terrorist atrocities, this is about the erosion of civil rights.
The first episode deals with a enticingly anti-heroic main protagonist (above) who is trying to find out what happened to his brother (who he didn't like) and his brother's wife (who bizarrely slept with him within about 30 seconds of meeting him for one of those 'it only happens on TV' reasons). Anyway - he's being asked to back the Total Information A(something, possibly awareness) scheme which pieces together all the information being taken about all of us and puts it together for the government and a private company. There were some important and worthy speeches about this happening for decades (big red obvious flag that it's happening now people!) that I found myself nodding my head to, and it's definitely something I will be tuning into next week. Which brings me to the big negative. The TIWhatever is a sophisticated system That.Talks.In a broken.fe-may-yell.vers-eye-on of Stephen Hawking Besides the fact it's bloody irritating to listen to, this annoys me for two reasons. 1) It's a blatant TV 'people don't understand text so we need to say it out loud' device that allows them to underline the important plot points that are being looked at. 2) It's a ridiculous voice! Why would someone program in a voice that sounds like it's translating hesitantly from double Dutch into some bastardised version of English? Seriously, if they'd have given the thing a HALesque soothing voice it would have been 100 times more sinister and infinitely less irritatingly. This is a classy series - well thought out, well written and, I assume, well plotted, the acting is first rate and the characters are three dimensional. Why the hell lumber it with a clumsy talking computer? It's not easy coming up with an way for people to use computers and still look good and interesting on screen, but this is a lazy out as far as I'm concerned. Let's look at the stereotypes... Nobody uses a mouse - check Anyway - it's good apart from that. And Bobby Carlyle's in it and has only looked moodily at the camera without blinking or speaking so far so keep watching it. February 15 Friday links - inside and outWell it's been a good week - with Jane arriving and Rob Clymo's first ever column T&G is getting better and better. But, as Bachman Turner Overdrive suggested, you ain't seen nothing yet. However, before we look to the future, let's settle into a more retrospective look at the week gone by...
Other links - best of the web There's only one geek topic du jour and that's the Indiana Jones trailer. It's a little heavy on the nostalgia, but when that music kicks in... Brilliant piece on the Guardians games blog comparing Half Life to the movie Cloverfield. You may have noticed I'm a Half Life fan and I did the movie review for Cloverfield for MSN too :) One of my articles was slashdotted - which was nice :) Epic are focusing on consoles because PC gaming is in disarray, whilst the red ring of death gets Simpsonsified. An awesome article about the movie Jumper and its physics Joystiq look at the latest bullshot, and link to this penny arcade classic Yahtzee's not a sim city fan and Charlie Brooker hates Valentine's Day Last but not least, Si has provided a flash game of the week February 14 A warm welcome to Jane DouglasThe pressure being brought to bear on a Tech & Gadgets editor at Valentine’s day cannot be understated; every year the same question, followed by the same argument all followed by the sulky silence. Why? Because every single year somebody suggests that we should do a round-up of Valentines Day gadgets. Does ANYONE give gadgets for Valentines Day? I had an e-mail from one enterprising tech company that included such ridiculous fare as a heart-shaped USB stick. A heart-shaped USB stick!? Who buys this stuff? But, at the back of mind I’m well aware that I probably should be doing something like this. So this year, after climbing upon my rampant high horse to decry the whole idea (again), it was something of a pleasant surprise to find out that things were different. Why? Because Tech & Gadgets has just acquired a second editor Jane Douglas who has come in to take T&G to the next level. (T&G 2.0?) And the first part of that next level is a Valentine’s Tech gallery that will be going up for the evening of that most cynically commercial of days. You’ll be seeing a lot more of Jane’s stuff in the coming weeks (month, years etc) and she’s already given her opinion on internet piracy.
The second Valentine’s Day piece that we have up on T&G is one of mine and it was a lot of fun to write. Doing a lonely hearts column for gaming’s most iconic characters was one of those ideas that just immediately appealed. How can you go wrong with the likes of PacMan? Colourful but rotund gentleman feeling a little flat and looking for significant other, must be tolerant of pill addiction and crippling fear of ghosts. Would provide exciting trips around mazes and offers all the fruit you can eat.
And the Weighted Companion Cube makes another T&G appearance, and that’s reason enough to embrace St Valentine, if you ask me.
February 12 Your say on T&GIt's been a fascinating 2008 so far in terms of your feedback to pressing issues as diverse as ID cards, Vinyl and whether More final Fantasy characters should have made our 'Gaming's unsung heroes' piece.
Let's start with vinyl, which was always likely to be provoke some controversy: Dak commented on my blog accompaniment to my Vinyl piece: saying: "Of course, we all listen in 'analogue' form, unless you would also like to reinvent that particular wheel and 'plug' us all into the WWW directly? So first you take a mainly analogue output, convert it to digital and then convert it back to analogue to hear it. And you're trying to tell me that in both these conversion stages no data will ever be lost? (lets not talk about my gig- and night-club reduced hearing though, eh?!)" Drax added: "This is such a complex issue... audiophiles will always prefer the sound of a well pressed vinyl album on a high quality player to a 16 bit CD on even the best CD players. And Shrew was the most sentimental: "Vinyl...bliss, secret messages when you play the lp's backwards (and wreck the stylus) and the sound as if you are out in the countryside when you play it late at night in a dark room. I have an extensive one band collection and I can tell you my excitement died rapidly as bootlegs became freely available on CD. There is nothing sacred about a CD and even less about a digital download. Too easy cloned."
If my viewpoint was not held by many on the vinyl argument, my impassioned pleas against ID cards appeared to strike a chord with many readers. Dr Ruth said: "Do I trust this Government? Or any other for that matter? If you had asked me that 10 years ago I would have said Yes. Today it’s an emphatic no. The question of ID cards is made look absurd in the wake of the numerous incidents of data loss over recent months. That so much data could be made available to those far more cunning and Machiavellian than the poor souls that are entrusted to look after and use it for legitimate purposes, should make us all feel uneasy if not outraged." CEO's office made a good point: "I already have an NI number, a NHS number (assigned at birth - we've all got one), a driving license and a passport. If the bloody government don't know who I am by now then we're in a worse state than I thought." And Anon (is that your real name?) had sage, if brief, words: "Don't trust them" February started with a look at Gaming's unsung heroes: Radarat said: You guys are all noobs. Meta Knight FTW!!(archnemisis of Kirby fool!) Spiffing Sprocket said: "Okay, off the top of my head… What was the name of the robot? Who was a sarcastic and twisted take on C3PO in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic? Dog from the Half-Life games. The announcer from “Smash TV.” Or the narrator from Dungeon Keeper. The Radio DJ’s from Grand Theft Auto 3 (some of whom came back for “GTA: Vice City"). The cleaning staff, from the Sims. The Hostages from Counter-Strike. The Cockney Space Marines from "Giants: Citizen Kabuto". Jefferson Clay, from I-War. The whole of the “Revolvers” team from Speedball 2 for being so useless (or at least they were on the Atari ST and Mega Drive versions of the game.) That’s quite a few isn’t it? I got a bit carried away there!" Jason Maling said: I cant believe you left out any one from final fantasy 7! ultimate unsung hero of ff7...barrett wallace! he doesn't get no were near as much shouts as cloud strife...or even sephiroth, who is a villain. c'mon man, although i agree with your list you could have at least have put final fantasy 7 in there But my absolute favourite, and the suggestion that I WISH I'd included is from Super Gazzio "hy what abt the lil green guy from golden axe:O" [very much sic] Thanks, as ever, for your feedback. February 11 IM Updates for the site and blogYou may have noticed a new arrival on the blog over there <---- (I realise that the arrow won't point in the right direction when I update, but it's underneath the technorati tag at the top left of the blog).
I realise that, at first look, that sounds intensely annoying, but it is a service that doesn't over-egg the pudding and will only update you a few times a day, rather then every time someone at MSN sneezes. So, for instance, if you are an avid reader of the blog then signing up for the updates will mean that every time I put on a new post (which, lets face it, is not going to be an overwhelming amount of times a day) you will get a nice little noise (which you can turn off) and a pop up message down at the bottom right of your screen telling you about it. You can also sign up for the Tech news updates (which will only bother you three times a day and once an hour) and the latest features (once a day) and keep bang up to date with everything that's happening on MSN T&G. So anyway - sign up for these alerts - if you want to or find out more
February 08 The week in linksIt's Friiiiday - and that means that T&G is duty bound to provide you with our retrospective of the week both on the channel and in the wacky world that is the internet.
The best of the web Article of the week has to go to '6 cutest animals that can still destroy you' Awesome! We've seen the dramtic squirrel - now, the dramatic Lemur I've been writing about joysticks today - and this one brought back happy memories. Robust didn't cover it, these would survive a nuclear holocaust - but not Daley Thompson's Decathlon... I was also writing about time travel which got me to paradoxes which got me to chicken and egg which got me this article that says egg ftw Not content with making some of the best TV ever to come out of the US, Joss Whedon makes some good points about the writers' strike Yahtzee caves into pressure to review CoD4 and we're glad he did The Weighted Companion Cube got in my gaming's unsung heroes - this vid explains why, and the great news is there's more portal to come Our student blogger Jess is trying to live on a tenner and the results are a little amusing and prove just what evil overlords the money editors on MSN are for putting her through it. Saying that, I'm sure I only got a tenner a month... Lee's always-amusing quirky blog has a story about a Thai referee Bioware aren't doing the Star Wars MMO - but console yourself by reading about the Star Wars TV series which should begin production this yearish. UFO sightings are on the up in the UK And game of the week is the simple and simply infuriating Wishful leap of the ninja
February 07 Unsung heroes - your suggestions
What started as a vague thought that Luigi doesn’t get the credit he deserves after all these years and how cool the Weighted Companion Cube videos on YouTube are, became an opportunity for much amusement and a truly chortle-worthy message board. If I’m being entirely honest, there aren’t many message boards where I am eagerly combing through suggestions, but this is one of those where I am excited about what other people suggest. There have been some absolute classics, and I’ll share a few here: Radarat said: You guys are all noobs. Meta Knight FTW!!(archnemisis of Kirby fool!) Spiffing Sprocket said: "Okay, off the top of my head… What was the name of the robot? Who was a sarcastic and twisted take on C3PO in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic? Dog from the Half-Life games. The announcer from “Smash TV.” Or the narrator from Dungeon Keeper. The Radio DJ’s from Grand Theft Auto 3 (some of whom came back for “GTA: Vice City"). The cleaning staff, from the Sims. The Hostages from Counter-Strike. The Cockney Space Marines from "Giants: Citizen Kabuto". Jefferson Clay, from I-War. The whole of the “Revolvers” team from Speedball 2 for being so useless (or at least they were on the Atari ST and Mega Drive versions of the game.) That’s quite a few isn’t it? I got a bit carried away there!"
"hy what abt the lil green guy from golden axe:O" [very much sic] Awesome. For those that never played Golden Axe (pffft) or can't remember. The 'lil green guy' (or blue, or both) was, I think, a leprechaun*who appeared at the end of a level with a sack. In order to get yourself magic and health for the next level you basically had to abuse this poor little magical creature by giving him a firm boot up the rear of spank with your weapon, making him drop the vials you needed. And yet he came back every time! Now that's what I call heroic... *gnome/pixie/small person/undisclosed magical creature
February 06 The Million dollar 'S'
I received an interesting press release the other day about a cruise company – no come back, this is interesting and relevant I promise. So this cruise company has just spent over $1 million to secure the domain http://www.cruises.co.uk – the most expensive .co.uk domain ever. Interestingly the company already has the domain cruise.co.uk, meaning that they have spent around £560,000 or 750,000 euros on the letter ‘s’. I don’t say this, particularly, to poke fun – the press release that I got makes exactly the same point:
“It is possibly the highest price paid for a single letter of the alphabet, but cruise community website www.CRUISE.co.uk today announced that it has bought the domain name www.CRUISES.co.uk for £560,000 (euros 750,000; USD 1,095,000), setting a new British record. The purchase by www.CRUISE.co.uk of the plural version of its eponymous website from German travel company Nees Reisen, shatters the previous record for a .co.uk domain name set in October 2007 when venture capital firm ASAP Ventures acquired the domain recycle.co.uk for £150,000. Already the leading online website in the UK, with 18,000 active contributors to the site, the company announced that www.CRUISES.co.uk which launched today would become its new site for online social networking, used to create a cruise community with user-generated content to meet the demands of this expanding sector.” This is a staggering amount of money for a domain that isn’t a .com, but perhaps it shows that .co.uk – once considered an address for the also-rans of UK business or those who forgot to get ‘on’ the internet early enough has changed. It is true that the general public are more au fait with the way the internet works, and therefore do not assume that everything is a .com. The press release also had a list of the most expensive domains around: Top five highest prices for .co.uk domain names
World’s most expensive domain names (USD)
February 05 It bugs everyoneConsidering my recent rail against identity cards, I doubt it would surprise you to find out that I am following the current MP bugging scandal with great interest.
Now, the current discussions are over whether this broke a 1966 doctrine created by Harold Wilson - who said that MPs would not be subject to having their communication intercepted. In the late 60s bugs were not sophisticated, but it was widely believed that the doctrine held for modern surveillance. So what we have, in most people's eyes, is an authority that is in a position of privilege breaking the rules and hiding behind the hysteria around terrorism. Now, a little part of me wonders if public figures would be less inclined to do things like hire their family members if they thought there was a chance of their conversations being heard, but the saner part of my being is outraged at the turn of affairs. A big part of my argument against ID cards is my fear that we are entrusting our privacy to an organisation that can quickly change year to year - and when you find out that bits of the sprawling public services are prepared to break the law or at the very least bend it out of recognition, then it surely exacerbates the situation. The government's introduction of ID cards is very much dependent on the trust of the public that the promises made over the use of the data is above board. And yet, we find out, that the bodies in place to protect us are not above making their own interpretations of the rules in order to 'protect us'.
I'm not suggesting that policing against terrorism is easy - I don't think anyone in modern society suffers from that illusion - but as a very wise comment on this very blog suggested, we should bear in mind the words of Benjamin Franklin... "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." Franklin wrote these words in 1759 in 'An Historical Review of the Constitution and Government of Pennsylvania' and they ring truer today than ever before. Technology has made it easier than ever for terrorists to talk to each other and plan, but it has also made it easier than ever for governments to listen in to, not just the wrongdoers, but anyone they want to. If we ignore the rules that stop them doing just that then we are not just setting foot on a slippery slope but tobogganing down it. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
February 01 The best of the web - this weekHey look what happened - we left Thursday behind and bumped straight into Friday! After you've got over the shock, we have a veritable feast of great links for you. But I start, as tradition dictates, with a look at some of the Tech & Gadgets highlights...
Now, onto more amusing topics - the best links of the week! Obviously it's not all one take, but this is one impressive effort (thanks to Si) Nikon's outstanding (and complex) attempt to show scale
Mary Poppins in a great 'evil' trailer. I remember Cartoon Network doing this with Tweety Pie Super Mario Bros acted out with Lego - truly fantastic Somethingawful is an internet institution, and their real life power-ups episode of PhotoshopPhriday is worth a look Guardian tech's article about SatNav is interesting And, not to be undone, Guardian games covers the Mass Effect hysteria Yahtzee just doesn;t seem angry enough this week as he does Resi: Umbrella Chronicles for the Wii In all the Heath Ledger stuff - I think this was the best tribute - by Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan The controversial Bully is back - watch the trailer and wait for the moral outrage And, finally, two flash games for your perusal. Dark Knight is simple but deserves some credit for sound and Tilt is fun
