CSR Classics – iOS Game Review
Being a Blackberry user for the last two years, the world of mobile gaming has almost completely passed me by. I’m fairly sure Snake or Tetris would’ve been a bit of a stretch for my wheezing Bold. So now having escaped from the cave and got myself a nice new iPhone 5C (more on that…
Tales of an Average Online Gamer 4: Armchair Management

I’m fairly sure aliens from the dark side of Mars are currently shooting gangsters and flying jet planes into prostitutes in the biggest instalment in one of the biggest videogame franchises in the history of the world. Michael Bay would baulk at the budget for GTA…
Analysing the iPhone 5C/5S Launch – Fall 2013
So that’s another high-profile technology conference concluded, and another that resembled a political rally the night before the polls open.
