Cash Effect - Why Mass Effect 3's Collector's Edition is a slap in the face
Once upon a time, not too long ago to those of us over 25, when you paid full price for a game you got to take home a full game. But the advent of the internet has, as with all aspects of life, taken its toll. Now there's no such thing as a "finished game". Everything needs patching, or expanding, or tinkering with post-release. It's like buying a brand new car and not getting the breaks fitted until a few weeks later.

Life Ain't A Game
Videogames exist in a strange universe. No matter how different two games may seem, you’ll always find common rules that link the two – like Forza 4 and Prince of Persia sharing a rewind function, for example. Now imagine if our world was governed by those rules. Would it be better? Or worse? In this feature I take a look at real life through a skewed lens, and ponder what it would be like to live in a world governed by the rules of the videogame.

Jedi Beats Tank's Five Favourite... Grudge Matches
Welcome to my brand new blog celebrating all things cool in the world of videogames. In each one I’ll present a new list of my five favourite… whatevers, along with a brief explanation as to why I think they belong on a top 5 list.
Now, since I only pretend to know a little bit of a lot about games and the industry, it’s likely that I’ll miss a fair few items that deserve (or even demand) a position on one of these lists. If that’s the case, feel free to comment with your own nominations and generally make me feel a wee bit small. Or a lot small, if you like – just remember, though, I’m a family man…

Arrested Development
Freedom of Expression is a term that’s bandied around a lot in these days of “gore-porn”, 3-hour blockbusters, hip-hop, thrash metal, reality TV on all 400-plus channels and every other celebrity “accidentally” leaking a home-made sex-tape, and certainly it’s a term that’s really hard to quantify in terms of taste and decency. Very little seems to be off-limits in this world of mixed media entertainment – until, of course, videogames are brought to the fore.
