Have you seen the latest Sims 3 Pets advert? It’s quirky. I rather like it. However, I wonder what reflection that has one me. In one scene there’s a French Maid grooming a dog and we’re told “Have a pet or be a pet”. In the background there’s a naked dude in the bathtub. We’re […]

Pride & Prejudice & Zombies interactive book app
Pride & Prejudice & Zombies has become something of a franchise. First there was the book and we’ve had pretty much everything else since including graphic novel. Now? Now there’s a Pride & Prejudice & Zombies interactive book app. It looks pretty good, to be fair.
Game companies battle over Merchant of Venus
