Thanks to the crazy88 boys I’m now semi addicted to Travian. It’s one of those sassy online in-browser strategy type games. I played Utopia on and off here and there, but seems a little different. Somewhat more refined.

Once I’ve been playing for more than a few days I’ll post a mini review. Be warned though, it might only consist of a few (swear) words if I end up getting smooshed by people bigger than me.

Please forgive the lack of posts on this side of the page. I’ve been busy stealing peoples cars are shooting drug dealers.

God bless you Rockstar. I shall always be grateful that you keep developing the GTA series on the PC where it rightfully should be.

A GTA IV mini review shall be written and posted eventually. According to the extensive in game stats I’m only at 20% completion (and that’s after playing it a fair bit over the weekend), so it might not be for a while.

What?! You expect me to write a review when there are still more missions to be done? Don’t be silly!!

As Liz mentioned yesterday, I was (am?) thoroughly addicted to a game by the name of World of Goo. To know what it’s all about, hit play on the youtube’ish video below.

Yes! I know!! And it’s only twenty bucks. Twenty bucks is nothing when compared to how much fun you’ll have channelling the old days playing lemmings, the incredible machine and bridge builder.

Ok I’ll confess. I was going to try and sit down and write a proper review instead of my normal three paragraphs ones. But just looking at different levels in screenshots on the net, I’m seeing new and better ways to arrange Goo blobs for better structural integrity. Suffice to say I’ll be loading World of Goo in a few minutes.

But first. If you’re still interested check out any of these reviews. I still haven’t seen a bad one yet. Rock Paper Shotgun. The Dead Pixel Post. Evo Gamer. Eurogamer.
