I have to admit, I didn’t play the original Mario vs. Donkey Kong, but was struck by how cute the Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis (Nintendo DS) packaging was while I was looking for a Wii online. We all know how much cuteness means to a game, right? :D Anyway… The […]

Nintendo DS: Age of Empires Review
I pre-ordered Age of Empires: The Age of Kings for the Nintendo DS a while ago, figuring that I’d need something to keep me occupied while waiting for my phone line and Internet to be connected. Age of Empires is an historically accurate real-time strategy game in which players must build up a large civilisation […]
Unrequested review of tutorials.delinquente.org
Reviewed: no idea Site URL: tutorials.delinquente.org I was tempted to name this review “how not to do a tutorial site”, but I don’t want to break with tradition. On one hand my super spider-sense says that I’m about to commit a major faux pas by reviewing you because you’re only 13, but hey — if […]
Review of 3till7net (2)
Reviewed: Sarah Site URL: 3till7.net I’m having difficulty starting this review. Most reviews I start off with a quick summary of my first impression of a website — it’s hard to do that when you’ve been visiting a website for years. Your new layout is not my favourite. I think the swirly zigzag pattern is […]
Book Review: Defensive Design for the Web
Defensive Design for the Web: How to Improve Error Messages, Help, Forms, and Other Online Crisis Points, by 37signals, Matthew Linderman and Jason Fried, really should be called “Examples of Bad Error Messages, Forms, etc” because although there were lots of pretty screenshots in the book, there wasn’t much in the way of real solutions […]
Book Review: Da Vinci Code
If there’s one thing I love about a movie, a book or a website it’s something which keeps my attention, and The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown certainly does that. Never have I read a book before that literally grabs my attention to the point where I don’t want to move; forgetting about eating, […]
New Site Review
For the first time in about a year, I’ve had a new review done by Rhiannon of PetShopGirl’s Reviews. Have a read, it’s good! Feel free to expand on any ideas that have been suggested. I wouldn’t mind some suggestions for other reviewers/reviewing websites too — it’s been ages since I’ve had site reviews done. […]
Book Review: Don’t Eat This Book
Don’t Eat This Book, by Morgan Spurlock, is a tongue-in-cheek look at the fast food industry all over the world, focusing primarily on McDonalds in America. This book accompanies his documentary Super Size Me, in which he demonstrated the effect that eating nothing but McDonald’s food for 30 days could have on the human body. […]
Review of sami.sophistichiq.com
Reviewed: Sami Site URL: sami.sophistichiq.com First impression: too much text. I like reading websites — they’re quite interesting — I don’t like being chucked in at the deep end though. An introduction should be a few sentences maximum, preferably with a few keywords nicely highlighted for me to pick up as I scan. If these […]
Unrequested review of maxed-virtuals.com
Reviewed: No idea Site URL: maxed-virtuals.com I can’t wait to start reviewing this website so I’ll just dive right in… Your splash page — what’s the point of it? Presentationally, it looks okay I guess, but in terms of functionality it achieves nothing. It doesn’t even have the word “enter” on it. There’s no title […]
