  Mon Jan 21 04:12PM by Yahoo! UK Games Editor

  I was wearing a bemused ‘Bill Murray' kind of expression while reading about the Banner Good Samaritan Medical Centre last week.

• Grumpy Old Men

  Tue Jan 15 07:30AM by Yahoo! UK Games Editor

  One of us is growing old, and it damn well isn't me. The wilting other I refer to is Street Fighter IV, a game that suggests (to the uninitiated) the kind of antics that Sega's The Club delivers, but in fact is another bunch of cartoon characters fighting one-on-one, left… Read full entry

• Best games of 2007

  Fri Dec 21 10:47AM by Yahoo! UK Games Editor

  We think 2007 has been the finest year for gaming since, er, probably ever actually. The last few months alone have seen the release of classics like Super Mario Galaxy, Call of Duty 4, Halo 3, and Crysis to name but a few.  In fact so high has been the quality and quantity of… Read full entry

• Killed by Death

  Fri Dec 14 05:47PM by Yahoo! UK Games Editor

  There comes a time in every man's life, when he's a boy, that he feels he must do all things manly and be the man's man and all that. For me this entailed drinking cider, buying as many heavy metal LPs as possible and watching horror movies rented on VHS.… Read full entry

• PS3 old flames barely flickering

  Tue Dec 11 12:13PM by Yahoo! UK Games Editor

  We're trying to make sense of the latest Top 40, and the lack of first-party PS3 titles in there. From what we're hearing, retailers are starting to shift PS3 hardware after the price drop. The mystery is why two of the flagship games - MotorStorm and Resistance: Fall of Man… Read full entry

  You've probably seen it in our news story but Activision (Call of Duty, Tony Hawks, Guitar Hero) and Vivendi (Blizzard, Crash, Spyro, and, er Timeshift) have merged to form a new company called Activision Blizzard.  The deal is worth $18.9 billion and will enable the new boys to overtake Electronic Arts to become the biggest… Read full entry

• Moving pictures will never catch on

  Wed Nov 28 03:48PM by Yahoo! Games Editor

  If shoot 'em ups are to blame I understand Roger Ebert's standpoint on video games, that they "will never become an art form -- never, at least, until they morph into something else or more." The comment is lazy however, and Ebert is speaking out of ignorance, which he admits… Read full entry
