    I’m the Worst Jockey Ever

    In Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2, half the fun of playing the game at all is venturing online and playing the game with real live people instead of the AI bots that are more likely to shoot at a wall than the hunter currently lashing your health away with its deadly talons. [...]

    Q&A With Guy ‘Yug’ Blomberg

    This interview was thankfully saved before GoG broke down, so I thought I would post it again here for those who may not have seen it. Thanks again to Yug for this interview, it’s appreciated! 1. Whose idea was it to start Australian Gamer? Yug: Pretty sure it was mine actually, although there’s no way [...]

    The Up ‘n’ Coming

    You’ve probably noticed the Q&A with Graham Stark of Loading Ready Run/Unskippable on the website. The interview with Guy Blomberg of Australian Gamer/Game Damage/Mana Bar will be up in a couple of days (we managed to save it!

    A Letter to Peter Molyneux

    Dear Peter Molyneux, On behalf of everyone who was pulled up in the hype of Fable I and II and then let down by clunky movement, a character with laughable anatomical proportions, a pathetic excuse for a moral choice system, boring and repetitive battles, far-too-easy levelling up and cashing in systems… I could go on. [...]

    Q&A With Graham Stark

    Infamous for his dry humour and video sketches with endings that make you pull a neck muscle laughing, Graham Stark has been part of the Loading Ready Run and Unskippable teams for quite some time, and is doing rather well for himself. Rachel managed to drag him away from the camera long enough to ask [...]

  • The Good Shepard

    The Good Shepard

    There are so many games today that implement some kind of moral choice system into basic gameplay. Games like Fable I and II, Dragon Age and Mass Effect 1 and 2 are the most noteworthy of candidates for such gameplay. You’ve all seen how it works. You get a conversation or a physical decision you [...]

    Console Wars… Kinda

    For years the console war has been going on, mainly between Microsoft’s XBox and Sony’s Playstation franchises. Nintendo’s Wii/DS doesn’t really factor in here because, apart from the odd game, Nintendo has always aimed towards the more casual gamer. At the moment it seems to be the XBox – v – Playstation when it comes [...]

    I Hate These God Damned Vampires

    Although I wouldn’t personally brand Left 4 Dead as a ‘survival horror’ game in the sense that Silent Hill or the original Alone in the Dark games are survival horror, I’d be lying if I said more than once I haven’t jumped so much I nearly knocked my tea over when I’ve turned a corner [...]
