It was the summer of 2005, three months until my first year of university and the culinary abortions that marked it, my mum had gone on holiday leaving a month's supply of ready meals as subsistence. This explains why I'm so good at e4's Ready Meals Quiz; a flash game that has you scrutinising pictures of ready meals to see which one came out of which packaging.
Whatever subspecies of gamer you are, chances are that you spend a fair amount of time infront of your television. Aside from playing games, chances are that you'll have packed in a good few hours of quality viewing along the way. Do Yo Knowz Yo Showz? is a fine chance to quiz yourself on your TV education, with ten questions to test you on shows from yesteryear.
Curse of the Red Ninja is a simple game about one ninja's quest to prove his mastery of the art of ninjitsu by killing his master Lawrence. A simply premise yes? (though how many ninjas do you hear of called Lawrence – perhaps Laurence Fishbourne in The Matrix). But what lies beneath is a point and click adventure game that's brutally difficult but comically quirky.
