    Camelot - Closed for good

    Isn't the spinner decent, but just appallingly maintained? The only paces I could see that finding a home would be Flamingoland or possibly BPB, just as a cheap compliment to the park's coaster profile. I'm right in thinking that Knightmare is bound for Europe aren't I?

    The Games we play...

    The Mexico bits are initially hard to love, but build up to some excellent sections, including one of the only bits in a game that has shocked me. If that is the point you left it, it is a natural full stop, and it may be worth trying getting back into, because the Canada sections aren't too...

    It's so much more than GTA with horses! GTA was designed for arseing around, with an incidental story, RDR is a story with incidental arseing around. Some of the finest moments I have experienced in gaming come in the latter parts of RDR, and for what it's worth it reminds me more of the...

    Revolution paint job - New or Bru?

    New way does nothing for me - looks like some sort of medical device now. Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2

    The Top 5 game challenge!

    Top 5 games The ESRB would never allow be published in this day and age 1. Custer's Revenge, and it's rape-a-native mode 2. How to be a complete B*stard - or 'the banker training game, as it is now known.' 3. Fat Worm blows a Sparky. The name of it alone screams Robin Askwith. 4. Barbarian...

    The Top 5 game challenge!

    Top 5 games that changed the world - 1. Tomb Raider - Where games became mainstream, and (almost) cool. 2. Jet Set Willy - I hated it, it was fundamentally broken, but may programmers these days owe their dues to that game. 3. Mario 64. Again, couldn't love it in the way so any did, but it was...

    The other thing that OnLive buggered up is forgetting one thing it was really good at; accessibility anywhere. In theory at least, you could be playing sleeping dogs at home, on the train going to work, at work, on the bog, etc. Trouble is, mobile wi fi is hardly reliable, and until 4g, mobile...

    OnLive is actually really good; it's problem is it had an identity crisis. The main issue is getting people to pay for stuff - the 1200 users isn't reflective of total users, but people subscribing to it's playpack service. It would have made far more sense for it to have a tie-up with...

    It's still actually decent to play even now. The concept of morale was years ahead of it's time. Imagine a GTA game with that in now...

    Top 5 Video Games of All Time

    As a kid, I always wanted to play it, but only had a 48k, so never got round to it until years after, until ironically playing it on the magnificent World of Spectrum. I'd always imagined it to be something it never could be, and was thereby disappointed, largely due to the wonky controls. It...

    Top 5 Video Games of All Time

    I wanted to put loads of retro stuff in, but the problem I had was so many of the games of the current generation have moved me in ways I didn't expect, so have decided the only fair way I can answer is: RETRO: 1. The Great Escape, Spectrum - something I am surprised someone hasn't had a punt...

    Flamingo Land 2nd August 2012

    I had much the same visit a week earlier. Went on a decent day and it just felt like nobody cared. The lad letting people on the Chairswinger in the Plaza looked all set to cry or go postal. This is why the park does not hit the stratosphere - there is simply no sense of being a corporate...

    Kids TV themed land at Lightwater Valley...?

    Really depends on the IP. If it was something like Rory the Racing Car, 1-2 years max. Of the list, only Bob the Builder, Alice in Wonderland and Grimm Tales jump out, the latter two though, I rather suspect wouldn't be enough of a draw. We need the Gruffalo at LWV.
