Me, last week,

Crikey, has it really been over eight weeks since my last post? Regrettably, it's true - but I have an excuse. I've been abroad, called away unexpectedly to Myanmar where I had to rescue a group of christian missionaries from a prison camp... Oh, hang on - that was the plot of Rambo, which I saw last week.

So what have I really been doing? Writing a lot, elsewhere of course; my usual video game musings for Den of Geek, as well as various reviews and a very long article on independent game developers for Micro Mart magazine.

In other news, I've managed to sneak a fabulous Xbox 360 into the house, along with copies of Halo 3, GTAIV and Forza II, which are all marvelous. Oh, and a copy of Viva Pinata as well, which my better half thinks is great (I like the paper critters, but can't see the appeal - looks like a lot of hard work to me). You can read more on the subject here, if you're interested.

Now, I must away - a group of freedom fighters need some help over in Afghanistan...
