I’m not sure any of you have even noticed, but Darryn’s been away pretty much all week. He’s back now, and the bastard managed to get bumped up a class on his flight home. In all my years of doing these trips, that’s all I’ve ever wanted. the closest I’ve come is to not be seated next to a morbidly obese, sweaty guy who snores. Some girls get all the luck.

Don’t Starve – simple and addictive
As impressed as I am with Minecraft, I am completely unable to play it. Not because I'm a n00b (although that would probably also be true), but because I can't play any first-person games without turning green and doing my best Linda Blair impression.

Remote Play more prominent on PlayStation 4?
Remote Play – that is, using your PSP or PlayStation Vita to play PS3 games streamed from your main console – is a severely underutilised feature in the current gen. I can count on just one hand the number of games I won that actually work with Remote Play. It seems that’ll change with the PlayStation 4.

Like FPS? How about tower defense?
Then you might be happy to hear that Sanctum 2 has launched. In actual fact, I'm excited about this title - if only I could play first person games without nausea, I'd be all over this like a fat kid on cake!

Sony planning a massive PS Vita push at E3
I’ve not left anyone in doubt about my doubts of the usefulness of the PS Vita, I really see no purpose for the device at all. However Sony believes differently and if two different rumours are to be believed this morning they are seeing the PS Vita as a big part of the PlayStation future.

You can play The Last of Us while it downloads
One of the coolest features of Sony’s PlayStation 4 and its Gaikai-powered streaming service is that you can start playing the games you’re busy downloading before they’re all done taking up hard drive space. The Last of Us, from Naughty Dog will trial that service – on the PlayStation 3.

The problem with PR companies and gaming
Earlier this week a local PR company, Craving Novity, accidentally released a press release about Gran Turismo 6 early and without any embargo information. This was then instantly posted up by iAfrica and a few others. It was quickly picked up by major international outlets and Polyphony's big reveal was effectively ruined. This is my long-winded rant about how I feel about the whole situation.

New pics from Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn
In case you didn't know, Final Fantasy XIV was a flop - even game director Naoki Yoshida admitted as much. So, what better solution than to blast the world with meteors and start over?

FFD: Call of Duty – best thing ever, or worst thing ever?
Call of Duty. Some love it (perhaps a little too much), while others detest its very name (definitely a little too much). While we could debate about its merits and flaws as a series of games forever, we won’t be doing that today. Instead, let’s rather discuss its impact on the video game industry as a whole.

Who’s the biggest games publisher?
You might have a favourite publisher; a company that keeps putting out the games that you want to play. In 2011, it seems that that company was Electronic Arts, who had the largest market share among the big-name publishers. Ubisoft, in a briefing to investors, has collated the information from sources such as NPD, GfK Chart Track and Nielsen, detailing each publisher’s market share – and the results aren’t too surprising.

Has EA given up on the Wii-U already?
I like the Wii-U, Geoff and Zoe are also solid fans of the new Nintendo device but by the look of things that’s about all the fans the poor console has at the moment and the latest news that EA is currently not making any games for the Wii-U isn’t helping.

In Other News – 16 May 2013
Have you been enjoying the week of no trolling? Even though the self-appointed curator of purity, Erwin, seemingly has no grasp of what trolling really is, I must say, it’s been fun watching you all reigning your…enthusiasm…in a little. Well, until All hell broke loose, that is. It wasn’t designed that way, you know. We haven;t written stuff just to get you to explode. Promise.
