Xenoblade is the next game in the Xenosaga. Monolith Soft have taken their time over this game and so it comes as little surprise that RPG fans are paying the teaser trailer so much attention. The first thing to keep in mind that this RPG is for the Wii. The second thing to keep in […]
The iBookend – Use your iPad as a bookend
This week I got my first email which had “Sent from my iPad” in the signature. It came from a colleague in London. I teased him. He pointed out the worse thing about having an iPad already and being based in the UK is that the App Store isn’t yet open over here. He can’t […]

Some of GameWyrd had to be retired when the site became Geek Native but “Famous Last Words” was worth saving. It wasn’t easy because I took a brute force approach to the transfer.
