Sweet Flag - the final curtain

15 months have passed since Sweet Flag was born - it’s been a great journey but I feel now is the time to draw this journey to a close.

Head yourselves over to my new site, Construed. Where I will be discussing a broader field [...]

Preparing for WAR - would you accept a ‘freebie’ account?

Tobold is curious to know if any other press/bloggers got offered a ‘free’ WAR account, as he did? It’s an interesting question, as no-one else seems to be holding their hand up on it to say they did.

September still has some big gaming titles to come & for me that means I will have to be [...]
