Dave suggested people play this on the 16th of February. Despite already owning the game, I never got around to playing it until July. Appropriately enough, July was blazing hot (this game is set in a wrecked Dubai, after a cataclysmic sand-storm), and it really added to the atmosphere of the game.

And I am only just writing about it now.

I really wish I had thought of the whole damn Skylander franchise. Such a good idea, making the Pokémon "Gotta Catch 'Em All" mantra a money-spinning physical reality that actually has in-game ramifications.

About a week and a half ago, Jane and I watched Broadchurch, starring David Tennant (who I loved from Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire and Doctor Who), and Olivia Colman (who I loved from That Mitchell And Webb Look and Peep…

Hey, this was really good! Did anyone else watch it? I'm going to be spoiler-free today, just so that if you do decide to watch it, nothing you read here spoils it. I'm not usually bothered about spoilers, but that does tend to be just in videogames. I guess that's how highly I regard the story-telling abilities of games, eh?…
