I'm a Game Designer at NCsoft Europe. This is my personal blog with my totally personal thoughts on video games. ABOUT PAGE
I’ve been writing far too many editorials. Time for some snacks:
Remember Another World? EuroGamer has interviewed Eric Chahi. Now there’s a guy I’d love to see return to the industry. (By the way, Idle Thumbs was first to interview him after years of obscurity.)
Project Horseshoe is, apparently, an exclusive mini-conference that aims to “positively influence […]
Okay, so the whole debate about episodic games has been done to death. Don’t worry, I won’t start blabbing about the reduced risk for developers or that whole value-for-money issue. Almost everything about those topics has already been said. I want to talk about something else. You see, while most people see episodic gaming as […]
Sam & Max: The Mole, The Mob & The Meatball, the third in Telltale’s six episode adventure game series, drops you right in the middle of things. The freelance police get a call from the commissioner (remember him?) about extracting a mole from a maffia-run casino. There is no gradual set-up. A Toy Maffia […]
The Crossing is a first person shooter being made by Arkane Studios (with support from Valve) that’s based on an idea that can be classified at best as problematic and at worst as insane. However, it could open up a whole new avenue for FPSes if they pull it off.

nbsp;Think of it as a MySpace clone just for games. Gamers can sign up to build a profile showing what games they own or are looking forward […]
I was kind of sick of playing minigames on the Wii, until WarioWare: Smooth Moves came along. I decided to write down some impressions. Hope you like my first gameslol mini-review!
WarioWare: Smooth Moves starts by giving these three bullet points:
Always use the wrist strap (still not a bad idea)
Play standing in an open area
Let […]
This year’s GDC will rock my world a thousand times, which is a little more than the usual amount of times. I’m already giddily counting down the days, and they haven’t begun even announcing the keynotes yet.
Looking at the sessions confirmed so far, two things stick out in particular. A lot of Japanese speakers are […]
I love Civilization. It’s one of my favorite game series. I self-taught the original Civilization using a pirated copy with no manual when I was still in primary school and had barely any knowledge of English. Sigh. We go way back, Civilization and I.
Each time a new Civ comes out (Civ 2 - 4), I […]
