Review | 2006 FIFA World Cup Interactive Quiz Game
This time, we'll get it right!
The festival of ultimate shame and disappointment that is the FIFA World Cup gets underway this week, sending even the most sober football fan on a delirious month-long booze-fuelled crusade to support a bunch of overpaid and overrated multi-millionaires in the vain hope that some of them might, one day, live up to their star billing.

Review | Atelier Iris 2: The Azoth of Destiny
Simon says: make better sequels.
