Acute tNdonitis
Only two days ago, I happened to purchase N+ from off of XBLA marketplace in order to have something to play with my friends who were over for the afternoon. Since then, I’ve developed a painful muscle sprain in my lower right forearm which renders me incapable of pressing the A button on my Xbox controller - or most any other buttons that need me to do so with my thumb - without excruciating pain. That is the extent of how much I enjoyed this game; it was only painful physical injury that could tear me away from it. Read more

1 commentA brief journey through time
Just yesterday, I was able to enjoy a little exercise in time travel, courtesy of the classic series of Unreal Tournament. I’ve known the series fondly since the first instalment way back in 1999. It was a game that kept me hooked for well over two years - and I only ever got to play it by myself since the internet connectivity I had access to left much to be desired back then. Now, just under a decade later, after seeing the series go through numerous facelifts throughout its lifetime, I decide to take a look and see just how far it’s come since then. Read more

No commentsFrag’s Blag
Just a little heads up regarding my new personal blog over at fragmagnet.net. I felt that I was holding back from writing on QFT at times because there were things on my mind that I couldn’t really write about as I made this blog specifically for non-personal issues with regards to gaming. In fact, I overstepped the line just a tad by going off topic with some past articles such as blurs on the station platform, and while it’s not exactly a crime I thought I might feel a bit less restricted if I had somewhere to put my more personal scribblings somewhere close to QFT, but still apart from it.
There I will probably be discussing about any personal projects I may have in the works, or just gab on about certain things I may have on my mind - but one thing I can promise is that it won’t be just another whingefest that nobody wants to read. I said it before and I’ll say it again: That stuff is for LiveJournal.

No commentsAssassin’s Creed Review - Xbox 360
I can’t remember the last time a single player game without a number in its name captivated me quite like Assassin’s Creed. In spite of its shortcomings, it is probably one of the most immersive experiences to grace the gaming world in quite a while yet. With its own take on the almost superhuman art of Parkour, made so famous in games by Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, it gives for a lasting piece of entertainment that is a worthy addition to any 360 owner’s collection of games.
