I have to admit to liking very old retro crappy type games. Nothing too in depth and nothing too time consuming. This may explain why I like to kill some time on Footy Chairman. It’s not about running a team as a Manager, it is about running a club as a Chairman. It’s totally free and easy to play. Give it a go….

Seems like one of the worst but very addictive IOS games has been removed from the Appstore by it’s owner. It appears that the game was ruining the author’s life or was it the fact that there is legal rumblings from the Nintendo camp?

Who can tell and frankly who cares.

Can’t say I downloaded it but my daughter did and spends the odd 5 minutes cursing how difficult it is.

RIP Flappy Bird…

Noticed this picture posted on Twitter today. The memories then came flooding back! This is when games had to be playable because there wasn’t much else going for them. Good times

Finally got my beta key for Project Spark and now I just wait for the download to finish. If you haven’t seen it yet then go visit the website and see why it is a hot topic at the moment. I will be reporting back on my experience…

2 Orbital tracks on WipEout 2048 (Sony Vita)

Details are still a little scarce but it’s now confirmed that ORBITAL have contributed 2 tracks to the up and coming WipEout 2048 game on the new Sony Vita.

The 1st track is a re-working of “P.E.T.R.O.L”, which incidentally was on the first and original Wipeout game in 1995. The reworked version has the title of “P.E.T.R.O.L (Final Drop Mix)”. The 2nd track is called “Beelzedub” and is their totally revamped version of “Satan”. This track has been briefly previewed on their Video Diaries from last year and has been played out during their DJ sets in 2011.
