There seems to be a strange trend of late for games which effectively play by themselves. Like waiting for an install to finish on a PC, it feels like you’re actually doing something constructive whilst elsewhere making tea. Football Manager and Sim City were always the kings of such lazy game-playing, yet Pro Evo seems to be attempting to steal that crown now, with the ‘Become a Legend’ mode, whereby you effectively sit on the bench as your computer compatriots run round like headless chickens. The hard work of actually playing is done by the game while you’re left to concentrate on more pressing matters, such as playing an entirely different game on another console/laptop, cooking a stir-fry or just drinking neat whiskey.

For the love of... Sonic and Knuckles by Chris Peebles | 14-09-09

The general view of newly released games featuring the formerly loved blue hedgehog, Sonic, are very negative these days. However, back in the 90's, Sega and Sonic Team could do no wrong. After releasing the highly succesful Sonic The Hedgehog, with it's sequals on the Mega Drive/Genesis, they were more popular than ever. They could be reclaiming this love of their fans soon, with the announcement of a new 2D Sonic game, built around their old games selling point, speed. This isn't what I'm talking about though. I'm talking about their 4th Sonic game on the Mega Drive. Sonic and Knuckles.

The History of Gaming - 4th Generation by Dave Cook | 11-05-09

The fourth generation of gaming is something a bittersweet chapter in the history of the industry. While the medium was growing more prominent after the near miss that was the 1983 industry crash, it was a time that would once again see many game developers and hardware manufacturers become a little too confident. After all, it was only a matter of time before games made the jump into the third dimension and no one really knew what to expect. The heralding of 3D gaming effectively killed off many companies, while exciting new names popped up and are still with us today.

Same Again, Please by Michael Slevin | 24-02-09

Having purchased a couple of Guinea Pigs the other week, I've realised that they're a lot like videogames: they're great fun to play with, both alone and with friends, and whilst they have a high intial startup cost, the benefits you'll receive from them are well worth the asking price. They also cost around the same, but, whereas my Guineas will bring happiness to my home for the next 4-8 years (here's hoping much longer), games don't quite seem to last that long.
