Running a videogame blog usually involves chasing people to write about games. But one game that I have had no trouble getting prose for is Demon’s Souls. Without any encouragement from me the families, workers and specialist gamers on Game People have turned in five Demon’s Souls reviews. It’s a game ...

It’s funny how particular game seems to resurface at different times. After the announcement of Heavy Rain’s Move edition-enabled re-release I had been revisiting what I’d made of the game when it was first released. We really enjoyed the Heavy Rain PS3 experience in our family – the older members ...

Earlier this year, I tested a trio of M-Edge accessories for a Sony Pocket Reader. M-Edge was preparing versions for the iPad at that time, as Apple’s tablet was just hitting store shelves. I’d decided to pass on iPad hysteria for the moment, but my mother-in-law stepped in to throw ...

We at GeekDad have been paying particularly close attention to Pixelh8’s newest music project, Super Chip Tune Samba Band, for a number of reasons. The most obvious, of course, is that Matthew Applegate (Pixeh8’s moniker IRL) is one of us: both a geek and a dad. Perhaps more importantly, however, ...

Once again the Cast of Dads go off on several tangents, from lawn-mowing wives to touch screen computing, and hand-written thank you notes, we leave few stones unturned in this week’s Podcast. Topics discussed in this episode include: Wives mowing the lawn Thank You Notes Resurrection of hand written letters ...

There’s not many times a hands-on preview of a game makes me feel completely different about it. But my time with Little Big Planet 2 the other day did just that. As someone who loved the idea of the first game but never had the time, patience or ability to create ...

On the surface, I’m probably an ideal iPad candidate: heavily invested in Apple gear already and looking for a device that’s smaller than the 17″ MacBook Pro I use for much of my writing, but with better battery life (and less risk of accidental damage) than the MacBook Air I ...

It’s nearly six months since I first took the plunge and entered the world of e-Books and e-Book readers in a big way. As an avid reader and book collector (some would say hoarder), has the digital plunge been a game changer, or just another meh experience? I’m of that age ...
