Hokay, let’s get this show rolling again. My most appreciative thanks for bearing with me during the past two weeks of slacking and panicking (roughly in that order). It’s TAR time once more!

Ranger by menki
Jump into the boots of a ranger and do rangerly things like plant trees, harvest the fruit they grow [...]

Aside from being a little under the weather this weekend, due to my internet provider being so fantastically naff I actually had to type this post up twice. Pfeh. But you don’t want to know about any of that – let’s get on with the lushness of today’s four Assemblees, three of [...]

Just hours ago, an entire corner of EVE’s universe was plunged into confusion when GoonSwarm – a dominant force for several years and one of the game’s longest standing alliances – started disbanding. Judging by the frenzied activity on the game’s official corp and alliance discussion forum, it seems they have now dissolved completely [...]

Oh boy! As we keep cracking along down the alphabet we find some real humdingers filed under “B”.
One thing I forgot to mention in the first TAR post is that the download links will point you to the final competition version of the games – bear in mind there may also be further updated downloads! [...]

With the TIGSource Assemblee entrants out in the open, I thought I’d blurt out a few words – or in some cases perhaps more than just a few – on each of the contenders, no matter how NSFW they may be. This could be an epic undertaking. 73 mini-reviews in under two weeks? Oh, crud. [...]

You probably know by now that  Qwak is one of my all-time favourite retro platform games and is definitely a hidden gem of the internet. I try to spread the word about it as much as possible without becoming Mr. Spam of Spam Lane, Spammington – so here’s another shameless plug!
Jamie Woodhouse has [...]

Since the IGF 2010 finalists were announced only the other day, the internet has been working it’s magic to produce a couple of related early bits and bobs that are worth perusing. Here are just a couple.
Many people who submitted their game for the competition this year have posted the feedback they received from the [...]

There aren’t a lot of MMOs that I’m following at the moment (apart from an occasional glance at Aion and feverish anticipation of Guild Wars 2) – but this caught my eye.
It seems that today is the day when the Dominion expansion for EVE is released, laying the groundwork for a most ambitious vision of [...]

I snatched up Madballs in… Babo: Invasion [link] yesterday in Steam’s holiday sale and had a ton of fun in the multiplayer. I’ve been racking my brains trying to remember exactly which game it reminded me of, then it struck me like a swarm of rockets – the ol’ classic BaboViolent [link], of course! It’d [...]

Followers of my random outbursts on Twitter might be aware that I’ve been playing the Median XL [link] mod for Diablo II lately. Personally I blame my reacquaintance with the action RPG king on the growing hype around the release of Torchlight [link] later this month, but that’s another story that I’ll save for another [...]
