I've been learning about glazes, tints, and something called scumbling, which, it transpires, is almost as good as its name. It's been...amazing.

Happy December to all of you lovely people! In a tradition that's as time-honoured as a turkey supper, light alcoholism and awkward family get-togethers, 'tis the season to bicker about all that was great and good in video games this year.

It's taken its time, but step by step and piece by piece DICE has moved towards the Battlefront that fans wanted. Not that it was too far off at its first attempt, mind; upon release last November Star Wars Battlefront was an arrestingly gorgeous multiplayer shooter that only just stopped short of greatness.
