Why Not Me? - Al Franken

Wednesday, May 31st, 2006

Early-ish novel from Liberal comedian Al Franken, telling of his fictitious election campaign and brief Presidency. Has its moments, but his later, less fanciful works are vastly superior.

Panzer Dragoon Saga - SEGA Saturn

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

A review of the flawless, genre-defing Team Andromeda classic that’s certainly getting my vote for best RGP of all time.

Catch 22 - Joseph Heller

Monday, May 22nd, 2006

Heller’s bona fide classic on the insanity of war. A tragi-comedy of the highest order.

The Informers - Bret Easton Ellis

Wednesday, May 17th, 2006

Another uber-bleak outing from Ellis. Not enjoyable, as such, but certainly compelling.

DareDevil - Gameboy Advance

Saturday, May 13th, 2006

A review of DareDevil on the GBA, a fairly dismal sidescrolling beat-em-up. Shovelware of the lowest order.

On The Road - Jack Kerouac

Thursday, May 11th, 2006

A write-up of Jack Kerouac’s beat classic On The Road. I likey the poom poom.

Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 - Bringer of Furies

Tuesday, May 9th, 2006

Internet Explorer 7 Ate My Hampster. Or broke my site, at least. Hints on how to fix it and general venting.

Rings of Power - SEGA Megadrive

Friday, May 5th, 2006

A review of a hugely under-rated albeit flawed RPG, but has enough interesting concepts to warrant a look-in.

China White - Peter Maas

Wednesday, May 3rd, 2006

A quick write-up on this appealing, heroin trade based page-turner of a thriller.

Psytron - ZX Spectrum

Monday, May 1st, 2006

A review of the superb, complex, advanced and criminally forgotten Speccy classic.
