Comment In: Enjoying Japanese storytelling is not being racist. [Blog - 08/20/2012 - 06:11]

I 'm with you on ...

I 'm with you on that and the first two Shadow Hearts games are fantastic . I prefer my games with a dash of humour, of self-awareness - I just find it difficult to buy these incredibly po-faced SERIOUS games, usually because what you do in the game in neither ...

Comment In: Fandom & Entitlement; a Threat to Creativity? [Blog - 07/20/2012 - 12:39]

Comment In: Know Your Audience [Blog - 03/02/2012 - 08:20]
