2013 videogame targets update and 2014 videogame targets

Fail

I made three posts in January of 2013 outlining some targets I had for the coming year, and all of them started well, but fizzled out towards the end.

And here we are again.…

And although I was initially not too fond of the idea of Kinect, I'm coming around to it now, as we have two genuine children…

E3 2010

I guess most of the announcements and big reveals have been made by now, so it's safe for me to write up my thoughts on the event. I usually don't bother with E3, but I had a bit of time on my hands this year, mostly because Jane was in Newcastle, so I sat at the PC looking at new…
