New Dimensions, Old Desires
March 29th, 2011
The 3DS lands in Australia in a matter of days now. Drawing momentum from the usual wind of everywhere else having it already, its impending arrival – backed by impressions posted on forum threads in America and England – is so strong it can be tasted. Desirability fills the air. The pristine sheen of our original DS consoles (no matter which model we settled with) has since been worn away by scratches and prints left by oily fingers, the grime from our dirty hands stuck to the buttons, and this only intensifies the desire perpetrated by unboxing videos that display units that literally glitter with the sheen of untouched newness.

Guilt Question Mark
March 11th, 2011
Late March, 2009, London. I am feeling more well-rested than I have in weeks, and the pent-up stress from this extended stretch of days is just beginning to dribble from my ears as I feel the comforting familiarity of a sixaxis controller in my grip. Over the course of the month I had taken to balancing full-time Celta study with a part-time gig selling videogames to tourists. As if by timed fate, my Ps3’s blu-ray laser had died just before the course begun, and I had been exclusively restricted to what existed on its hard drive.
Not that I had time for even that.

Do You Like Kimchi?
February 22nd, 2011
Congratulations Bayonetta, you are officially the videogame character that most men would like to be hand-cuffed by. Also, Hyper thought that your game was pretty good.
Actually, scrap that. Hyper thought that your game was really good. So good, in fact, that after eight pages of squabbling and Dylan threatening to test his new anal-probing technology on those who held different opinions (I jest – this bit was edited out) your absurdly long legs were able to strive tall over other big hitters such as Halo: Reach, Red Dead Redemption, and God of War 3 to be declared Hyper’s official game of the year for 2010.

Zebra Crossing!
January 27th, 2011
I’ve been playing my copy of Zeno Clash for around three hours now. Heaven knows just how long I’ve waited for this moment – my Steam backlog and I share a relationship like that between a parent and many, many neglected children. Or both parents, as may be the case. Both parents in the same body. You know, just because it’s convenient like that, and also because it seems to make perfect sense to this particular child.
A child that, honestly, would re-gain my neglect were its mind not so damn weird.

Climbing the Mountain
January 6th, 2011
So, yeah – I’ve made it clear that I feel it’s too easy to own too many games in today’s climate, especially if you have a moderately-decent PC and a Steam account. This is enhanced by what defines ‘moderately decent’ having longer legs now than it ever has before – your average desktop from two years ago could probably still play everything released today, and survive well into 2011. And this is before online shopping has cheapened console gaming.
Money is no longer the main resource of concern; rather, it’s time.

Wrapping Paper
December 24th, 2010
I need to make a disclaimer: Of the last five years of my life, just over three were spent living in London. I picked up several things from my time in the land from where the first fleet first sailed. For example, I now have an oddly mish-mashed accent. I’ve also come to realise that Australian beer is pretty terrible on the world scale. Also, I like to moan about it. See, moaning is an integral aspect of British life – everyone does it because it’s cultural, or maybe just because it’s oddly enjoyable. In any case, the most bizarre of things can become the focus of unflattering attention.
To wit: too many games.

Podcast Round-up
December 9th, 2010
Ever since various mp3 players have entered the market, gone from high-end items for rich kids to an affordable item for most, and eventually become so ubiquitous that more people probably own them than a proper CD player of any kind, activities such as jogging or walking extra distance to buy ingredients for dinner have become less mind-numbingly dull. While music still accounts for most of the space eaten on your average player, there’s typically room left over for a podcast or two. We figured we’d take a moment to round up some gaming-relevant listening to help make any Christmas travelling easier.
