OnLive – for reals?

Posted by Dave Cranwell on March 26, 2009 · 4 Comments

Call of Duty 4 wins BAFTA story award

Posted by Simon Jones on March 11, 2009 · 2 Comments

So, Call of Duty 4 has won the BAFTA for ‘Story and character’, eh? That’s certainly ruffled a few feathers, not least The Guardian. Despite the kneejerk surprise, it is however a wholly deserving win.

What’s all this, then?

I'm a writer and filmmaker based in Norwich, England.

Potential Gamer is my justification for playing far too many games. Blog posts here are irregular, so don't expect a constant stream of news - but when I do post something, hopefully it will be of interest.

I mostly write about PC games but the occasional console article sometimes sneaks through.
