I'm a critic and games journalist with 15 years experience, and writer on a few indie games which I am honour-bound never to talk about on Jank.

Quake is a good shooter

There is no reason for other games to exist but okay.

If Quake did not exist it would be necessary to invent him. (Quake as you know is the surname of the protagonist of the first-person shooter of the same name - his full name is Brad Quake).

The graphics are quite interesting. Spellbinding, you could say. There are actual rooms, made of actual boxes, and a sky with true and real clouds that the developers, id Software, must have imported from a real-life country somewhere in the southern hemisphere.

When you shoot a gun in Quake, several things are revealed to you. First: life is fleeting and death is the universal constant. Second: shotguns are cool.

I give Quake: The Videogame a full five stars out of five, but only for the sheer variety of feelings it has given me over the course of my nine minutes of playtime. These feelings include but are not limited to: hunger.

Stay tuned for more reviews!

Valve announce many new objects

Valve have announced a lot of new things you may one day own.

It is great to own things.

You know, I think videogames should be cool

If I were a videogame, we woudn't have so many problems

Remember when videogames were cool? Trick question! They are still cool. And so am I.

Hello, my name is Brendan and I think life should be full of fun, except when it is winter - then it should be full of hardship.

One thing I have noticed about fun is that it often occurs while playing a PC game. Sometimes that is good, such as when you shout "hooray!" or "wow!" at one of the bright flashbangs that goes off in your face before you are executed by a man with a rifle. Sometimes it is quote unquote BAD, such as when you finish the level and are awarded not a single crystal or gem stone.

Did you know?
There is a convicted murderer in my hometown. He plays Call of Duty under the username "gigakiller23" and somehow is still active in matches, even though he is in prison with no access to a games console.

The difficulty comes, I think, when fun is withheld. I once played a computer game with my cousin Conor and he told me - no, promised me - that I would be the next person to hold and use the controller. Unfortunately, this was
