Flowers in the Attic
I can’t carry on like this. The thrill has gone. I’m drowning in a sea of half finished / not started games / will never play games; the product of which is that gaming currently feels more like a vocation (albeit one where net income figure is a negative) rather than something to do to [...]
Heavy Rain
Heavy Rain is almost ready for release – apparently the game has now gone Gold (as in the final version has been pressed – source crankygamersuk) and there is a demo available on the US Store. So is this game much more than an interactive movie with quick time events chucked in for good measure?
According to [...]
It’s not you, it’s me
Just like the footballing womaniser John Terry I have several relationships outside of marriage – unlike JT these are with gaming devices and the relationship is purely platonic (thank God for that).
Games Vs Movies
Most people that like games also tend to be into Science Fiction books and cinema. Many early games were inspired by science fiction and Sci-Fi films on the big screen.
In recent years the waters have been flowing back the other way and we now have planned film versions of some of gaming’s biggest hits including [...]
Open Your Mind
Part of my New Year’s resolutions include:-
Taking better care of my appearance (spending money on clothes when you don’t go out does seem like false economy though but it does tie into my next resolution)
Saying yes to more social events (within reason)
Spending more time with the kids (again, within reason)
Giving up booze for the month [...]
Zombie’s Best of 2009
Apologies for the lack of recent activity on gaming zombie. I’ve been taking a nice break from work but that’s over now. So full steam ahead. I want the site to grow some more in 2010 so will continue to post something every 3.5 days (or twice a week).
So to wrap up the best of [...]
Zombie’s Best of 2009
Continuing on with my favourite / most enjoyed games of 2009.
No.5 – Batman: Arkham Asylum
Batman is the only super hero game in recent memory that wasn’t utter rubbish. Rocksteady captured the brooding atmosphere of the Dark Knight perfectly, slanting more towards the comic book / animated version of Batman but still mean and moody.
They totally [...]
Zombie’s Best of 2009
I love Christmas, especially now I’ve got kids – it gives me a chance to relieve the magic from my own childhood that feeling of going to bed one night and waking up the next to lots of presents, sweets and chocolates. It was the only day of the year where we were permitted to [...]
One Console to Rule Them All
Do you remember the 3-DO? It was one of the first CD based video game consoles release in 1993 and packed with some impressive specs for 1993.
I recall seeing the machine in my local Virgin Megastore (now Zavvi) back when it launched and it was an impressive looking machine. It was all sleek and sophisticated [...]
Unfinished Business
I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder more commonly known as OCD. Not in the sense that wash my hands ad nauseum after touching a door handle or walk down the street leaping over cracks in the pavement. Rather, I have the kind of disorder that produces sleepless nights worrying about video games; more specifically games I own but haven’t finished. This is surely the most obtuse to anxiety ever. What with the recession, global warming and worsening situation in the Afpac region it seems glib to be concerned with if I’ve seen the end credits of enough of the games I’ve showered on myself in an orgy of online consumerism.
