I'm just this geek, you know? Love comics, though not a regular reader - Love gaming, PC, board games and wargaming, and reading Sci Fi. Chairman at my local wargaming club, I play X-Wing and occasionally 40k (But mostly X-Wing!) By day I work in eCommerce, by night I'm either still working, reading, watching or writing :)

Railway Empire - The Complete Collection Review on PC, by Gaming Minds
Let's be honest here - This is not a FPS/shooter, it's not an MMO, it's not really an RPG - It's a train set with a management sim, and it's designed to eat your life whole. Once you're hooked on this, you'll mislay evenings, if not weekends. and you'll come back for more. and when you crash and burn? You'll just pick another scenario and go again. They're going to claw the keyboard and mouse from your hands with a crowbar if it grabs you in the first 30 minutes to an hour.

Incy, Wincy Spider.... "The Spider Dance" by Nick Setchfield
