Democracy 3 – The verdict

Democracy 3 – The verdict

You sit there, watching Prime Minister’s Question time and you think, why the Dickens did he say that? I mean you know he’s opposed to that sort of policy and he’s strongly connected to this other group, so why throw a bone towards this marginal seat on a marginal issue?

Eurogamer Expo – The Indies

Eurogamer Expo – The Indies

Indie developers are great, they are often so approachable and friendly. The games they make are part of the sea change that is sweeping through the industry.

Bit more after the break, (but thankfully no more lame political jokes – joke Ed)
