One of the cool new features in Minecraft 1.8 was creative mode which allows you to fly around and build things without running out of blocks. It also stops you taking damage from mobs so I switched them on in the server for the hell of it. Unfortunately the new mob, the Endermen, caused problems [...]
Well, finally it’s here! I couldn’t get into any Xbox games because of problems connecting to EA but I had few problems connecting on PS3 where I teamed up with Mike, Gavin and Conor. Unfortunately the game split our squad up so we were on different teams and squads so we couldn’t talk. Next time [...]
The remake of ye olde DOS based game Syndicate will be coming in February 2012. Here’s the “announce trailer” and I like what I see! The original still plays just fine in DOSBox and it’s well worth tracking down. Hopefully gog.com will start selling it before the sequel comes out. (via)

So you just bought Samsung’s new Galaxy S II smart phone. Nice isn’t it? One of the first things I noticed when I turned it on was the unusual blue colour cast on the screen. It’s impossible to capture in a screenshot but I soon found out how to fix it and promptly forgot about [...]
I’ve only played the first two tutorials but it’s enjoyable. Can’t wait to try the split screen multiplayer! Video review above by the Cynical Brit. And here’s the RPS review of the game. Jim gives it the thumbs up while admitting the game isn’t perfect.
