Following on from this post, I just thought I'd let you know how I got on last night - It was spectacular and full of victories. Sure, I didn't win every single match, but there were some proper beatings I gave out. Twice I bested some random people who had over 2000 Battle Points - It's great fun when Dan…

This Wednesday on Xbox Live Arcade, 0-D Beat Drop was released. Now, always wanting to give every game a fair crack of the whip, I downloaded the trial version. Wow, it was just awful.

Ethan was delighted, though he definitely preferred the whoosh bangs to the sparkly pretties. Lewis was enthralled for a while, but you know…

Back in the day, you couldn't beat a bit of PSO on the Dreamcast. I remember begging my Mum to let me play it online, she agreed eventually but I had to pay the bill every month. I had many characters throughout my adventures with DC PSO, but the three pictured below are the three that I enjoyed most. You…
