So yeah, remember that post about the triumphant return of DoFuss? It not far back, maybe four posts… and two months ago. Not so successful I am sure you will agree. It isn’t that I have stopped gaming, in fact I have been playing more, its just the little time I have had in my last months in Japan are being directed at enjoying my time rather than maintaining the site. My editors on other sites however have still been requesting content so out of a desire to keep them happy I have some writing has been dabbled in (and because if I did nothing there it the possibility I would either drink myself to death or fall in to a pit of self pity at my inability to fulfil even my own mediocre goals) so here are links to a few of them.

With that said there is a podcast here waiting to be edited, and a string of articles planned that I may find time to write as soon as I ship all my consoles back to the UK later this month leaving me with little else to do. So if you are interested in DoFuss content keep an eye on here. If, however, you are interested in any of my digital scribblings cast your eyes over the links bellow to catch up with some of the games I have been playing and my opinions of them. Also you may notice among the below links a portal to the Independent’s website, funny story there, my work on Gamepeople was quoted but I don’t honestly know if the quote makes any sense or if I simply was drunk/having a dyslexic moment when I wrote it, I mean, ‘convincingly scary’?

Yakuza 3, Death Spank, Blur, Contra 4, Limbo, Otomedius Excellent, Split Second, Sonic 4 – Episode 1, Vanquish.

Alan Wake – The Signal, Demon’s Souls, Death Spank, Limbo, Halo Reach, Castlevania – Harmony of Despair, Marvel vs Capcom 3, Ni No Kuni, Castlevania – Lord of Shadows.

Deadly Premonition

It has been a long week, in no way helped by the fact that we had to record this show twice thanks to technical problems. Fortunately the dry run meant that even with my general exhaustion we were able to keep the show mostly on track, and when we didn’t it was at least funny.

We kick off as always with ‘Heaven and Hell’ (featuring the World Cup) before the ever-present ‘What Have You Been Playing?’ For a change this show Darren has been indulging in games that could technically be called current, though while Portal ‘Mac’ has technically just been released it might be pushing it to call it new. I on the other hand have been playing the very current Alan Wake, which I have been gushing about online for some time, so I take this opportunity to redress some of the balance.

After this it is on to news. E3 kicked off the day we recorded with the Microsoft Kinect event (yes, I call it the Kinetic during the show, but I am sure that was their plan) so we do touch on the show a little bit in news, as well as some other headlines that caught my eye.

Finally we rap up with a feature on in game collectables. A topic inspired by Alan Wake, a game that manages to undermine its own narrative by poor implementation of in game pick ups.

I hope you enjoy the show, leave any comments or feedback below or drop us a mail.
