The Roundup – 12th June
The Roundup is a new feature I am planning to put up quite regularly, say once a week or once a fortnight. It will be a collection of links to pieces of writing I have done that I want to highlight, and maybe a bit of blurb about what I have been up to. I may also throw some links of other interesting things in. Lets do this thing!
First order of business, I got a 2:1 in my BA (Hons) Modern History and Politics degree. Hell yeah! In other news I have recently started doing some writing on Resolution and I will soon be writing semi-regularly on GamingDaily
Oh and as I haven’t actually mentioned it here before, I am currently spending most of my writing time on The Reticule which I am involved on with Greg Wild, Steve Peacock, Phill Cameron and Mattias Tammet, or more commonly StalinsGhost, SteveTheBlack, The Poisoned Sponge and Mythrilfan.
First up, goodies from The Reticule:
A retrospective piece on Battlefield 2 which I started sometime towards the end of last year, but have only just gotten round to finishing up. It has been a joy to go back and play the old beast the past few days, it really is a great game still.
I just did a quick look at the Overlord 2 demo which looks pretty interesting. Just hope it has more evil in it than the original!
Last thing from The Reticule is Greg’s Verdict on ArmaA II. It may be a buggy mess right now, but I am looking forward to getting to play it. Hopefully we will be looking at the multiplayer aspect of the it on The Reticule when we all get the chance.
On Resolution I got the chance to play an early build of Machinarium and talk to project lead Jakub Dvorský. You can read the whole thing here. The game is looking very good right now.
And I am afraid that is it for this first Roundup, hopefully I will have some more to show off in the next one.
