Weight Loss Through Gaming

January 16, 2015 Chris Smith CS, Editor's Picks, Editorials, Wii, WiiU

I used to be heavier than I currently am. Then I lost weight and that was nice. But a year later, I’ve put back on some weight and that’s not so good. But it’s the New Year! It’s practically required that I make some token gesture towards losing some extra pounds. But while most people would do something silly like sign up for a gym membership or buy some jogging bottoms and trainers in bloody January, I am taking a much more sensible approach.

It’s the same approach that I took to lose the weight in the first place.

I am going to play games. Read more …

New Year, Same As The Old Year

January 13, 2015 Chris Smith CS, Editorials

You’d think that now that 2014 is over with, we could focus on the year ahead. Except no. Because January. That’s all the explanation you really need, but I’ll expand upon it anyway. Read more …

2014: The Year in Review

January 12, 2015 Sebastian Young Editorials, SY

2014 was a strange year for video games. It was the year that saw the PS4 and XB1 smash console sales records, despite not having any truly compelling games to play on them. It was the year of buggy, broken or just plain disappointing 3^rd party titles. It was the year of “GamerGate”. It was the year in which Nintendo sat in the corner and quietly released smash hit after smash hit. In short, 2014 was a bit of a roller-coaster.

With the year behind us and 2015 beckoning us hither, I wanted to take a moment and reflect on where we are and how we got here.

2014 – Game of the Year

December 22, 2014 Drew Pontikis Archive, Editorials, TeamZ1G

As 2014 draws to a close, it is a time for reflection. to my mind, 2014 has been potentially the most disappointing gaming year in some considerable time. Great expectations have turned into damp squibs as the next console generation has failed to get into its stride, and time and time again anticipation of the next big title has let us down. That said, its not all been doom and gloom – there have been some real gems nestled in the mound of mediocrity, and the guys at Zero1Gaming have got together to bring you their highlights. Let us all hope that Paul doesn’t bang on about Dragon Age too much…. (Ed’s note: What? It’s awesome!) Read more …

2014 Predictions Recap (Hint: It Didn’t Go Well)

December 19, 2014 Paul Izod Archive, Editorials, PI

Traditionally the end of the year is a time for looking back at the year that’s been and reflecting on what was good and bad. However, it’s also a good time to look forward to the new year in prospect and ponder what we have to look forward to.

The Zero1gaming team did just that at the end of last year and we made a few predictions about the year to come. Read more …

Honeymoon’s Over

December 1, 2014 Sebastian Young Editor's Picks, Editorials, SY

A few months ago I finally joined the new-generation and splashed out on a PS4, along with Destiny and The Last Of Us Remastered. I’ve played those games a lot, too much perhaps, over the last several months. But I’ve found that with each passing week I’ve been looking over the fence at “the others” with mounting jealousy.

And by “the others” I don’t mean those individuals who chose Microsoft’s gargantuan monolith. I mean the brave, faithful, foresighted folks who signed up to “Next-Gen” early and picked up a Wii U. The clever bastards.
