SteamBirds

Danc gave those who read LostGarden a heads up that Spry Fox was releasing SteamBirds (No longer available) for the Android platform. I have been watching Spry Fox since Dan mentioned it on Lost Garden. Due to being plain busy (no pun intended) I never got a chance to try SteamBirds on the web. Now it is on my phone I get a chance to play it while on the bus!...

Only just got round to trying it again. Since I last played there has been another patch, that includes new maps (I thought there were four maps, however I have only played three....

Credit where credit is due Mythic!

Apparently this was released sometime last week however I had missed it completely, Mythic and its Electronic Arts overlords have decided that they will not be crediting former staff members in Warhammer Online. I really don’t understand it, Ryan Shwayder put it across better than I can.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Bought the game last week, finished the single player campaign a couple of days ago. It plays more like being in a film than a game, which for me is great, as a cinematic experience it is superb, the game play is better than any other game I have played before (which doesn’t say much really - have been out of touch of the FPS market over the past few years)....
