My thoughts on Duke Nukem Forever After 13 odd years being stuck in development hell, the final release of Duke Nukem Forever made me giddy with nostalgic memories of my early youth playing Duke Nukem 2 and Duke Nukem 3D and so bought this game wondering if it would live up to the hype, and also wondering how much of that […]
My thoughts on LA Noire Rockstar’s latest offering, “LA Noire” is an amazing visually appealing game set in 40s Los Angeles and no doubt you’re already aware of the amount of R&D they put into face mapping, rendering and graphics.

If like me, you’re attempting to get into the world of iphone (or Android) development, it can be quite hard to learn the platform, the language, the syntax (!) and that’s […]
A recent update Its been a while since I’ve posted anything on my blog; at first I wanted to retire from blogging, I had very little to add to the blogosphere; and what I wanted to add had already been said by far more distinguished and established bloggers. That being said, the one thing that attracted me to […]
