Sin City
I went to see Sin City yesterday. I've never been a fan of comic books or graphic novels but this looked really nice, and being a sucker for anything that tries to be different, had to give it a try.
The film is styled very closely to it's source, pretty much everything is in black and white (mainly black) with the very occasional splash of ...
My Next Game
I have been working on my next game for a while now. It's going to be an updated version of Bubble Bomb. This may seem like a strange choice since Bubble Bomb is essentially 'Yet Another Colour Matching Game' (YACMG?). The reasoning was very simple though - it's the best selling game on Binary Sun!
Why is the game so popular?This is something that intrigues ...
Star Wars Easter Eggs
You may have noticed that I enjoyed Star Wars Episode III.
If you're a fan of the film you may be interested in some of the Easter Eggs (hidden surprises) that were hidden throughout.
Note that if you haven't seen the film yet there may be some spoilers waiting for you.
E3 Roundup
I wasn't at E3 but I did try to keep up to date with the news updates.
As expected all three 'next gen' consoles have been announced, and frankly I'm underwhelmed. They all look fairly ugly with Nintendo making the closest to an attractive machine (it's also the smallest).
However how the console looks matters little, it's the games that are important. There were a few games that stood out for me, so I've done a little round-up of what I ...
Star Wars Episode III : Revenge of the Sith- Review
I suspect there are going to be quite a few Star Wars reviews over the next few days so I'll make this quick.
I like Star Wars Episode III : Revenge of the Sith!
The script was up to Georges usual standard, that is to say, incredibly cheesy; but you don't watch a Star Wars movie if you want to be intellectually stimulated or wowed by Oscar worthy acting. Star Wars is a Saturday afternoon popcorn movie, and looked at like that ...
Nintendo rumours
Lots of rumours and speculation about what Nintendo are up to at E3. Apparently there is going to be a big reveal some time today... at least that's the theory.
Star Wars and really cool Nintendo stuff on one day - I'm a very happy man at the moment!

I enjoy both playing, and developing video games. Recently I have bought a number of new games but not been able to play them for one reason or another.
Splinter Cell: Chaos TheoryI bought Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory about three weeks ago. I hurried home after buying it to have a play and what did I find? None of my memory cards were big enough to save the game. I have a GameCube and a standard 4 meg memory ...
Video Games
I'm very interested in gaming and what with working at an online games company and running my own shareware games store I like to keep up to date with gaming news. Being a blogger I thought I would spread the joy and list a few of the gaming blogs I visit daily.
Insert 25I don't like the name of the site, it doesn't make sense if you're outside the US ...
Rocket Boards is a super fast 3D rocket boarding action. My first "commercial" (shareware) product. Didn't do amazingly well but was a good learning experience
Bubble Bomb is a polished update of a game originally built by Warren Marshal (who works at Epic games - developers of Unreal and Gears of War)
My own update of Bubble Bomb, Bubble Blitz was almost a total rewrite adding loads of new features and a shiny new look.
Seths Puzzle Boxes is a puzzle game with a surprisingly enjoyable story line, unfortunately it's quite short so won't take long to complete, but while it lasts is great fun.
