My Gaming History – Part 15
When I heard on the grape vine Microsoft were going to compete for top spot against the mighty PlayStation 2, I just shrugged. I had spent time with a PC and although I enjoyed the experiences, there was nothing like switching on your console with your foot, picking up a pad, throwing one at your …
My Gaming History – Part 14
As with anyone who has a real interest in video games, I have dabbled in my fair share of PC gaming as well as the much loved console environment. As much as consoles make gaming easy and fun, the PC offers the gamer an entire universe of weird and wonderful games that would never be …

Still, I witnessed hundreds of people on social media …
Top Five Video Game Intros
Putting together this top five compilation has been harder than Jimmy Saville in a school for the blind.
