Previews: Halo Reach (Xbox 360) & Skate 3 (Xbox 360/Playstation 3)
Reviews: SOCOM Fireteam Bravo 3 (PSP), Super Monkey Ball 2 (iPhone), Bad Company 2 (Multi)

Rather than spending a post to every preview or review I write, I shall – as of now – summarize two or more (p)reviews in a single post. I have done quite some work for Eurogamer.nl the past weeks, mainly consisting of (p)reviews. Continue reading

Interview: Tristan Lambert of Vertigo Games

During Gamelab #3, a gaming-related event hosted by Blammo (creators of the popular Dutch gameshow Gamekings), one presentation sparked my interest.

Game review: Star Wars Battlefront – Elite Squadron (PSP) & Short opinion on God of War III (PS3) and Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii)

Niels ‘t Hooft (editor in chief at Bashers) asked Bashers’ contributors to write a retrospective, consisting of memorable gaming moments in 2009. Looking back to my gaming year, I quickly came to realize it was a year worth remembering. Some of the moments I highlighted were the discussing night about game journalism, discovering art-like games such as Canabalt and – of course – finishing a game-related thesis. Continue reading
