In their current issue, PCPRO are running a feature entitled 32 Reasons why PCs are better than macs, I’m taking the oppurtunity to rebuff many of them as mac myths; of course- they do make some valid points, but too many shots are plain wrong.

Firefly as an MMORPG?

Firefly is returning.
By 2008 firefly should have become an MMORPG, and let’s face it- that alone will be fairly shiny.

Kirby’s Canvas Curse

I’ve just started playing Kirby’s Canvas Curse again which I bought when I was on Holiday and only just noticed how fun it is, anyway what sort of name is Power Paintbrush anyway? It’s just plain silly. I’m looking into that Brain Age Brain Training (why Nintendo?) game and wondered if anyone’s got anything […]
