Whether or not you ever played Dungeon and Dragons, if you are a gamer, then Gary Gygax touched your life. Chella and everyone at GiN mourns his loss.

With the heavy emphasis on online play these days, Chella worries that single-player quality will be sacrificed for the sake of multiplayer mayhem.

The game industry is always tying to be more like the movie industry, but Chella wonders why. Especially around awards season, they have nothing on us.

Chella moves into her brand new office, and finds that the trampoline craze sweeping England hits close to home. If only more computer games featured them.

With the year 2007 in a race to the finish, Chella remembers the good and the bad of the year, only this time, it was all mostly good. In 07, games really rocked!

With Assassin’s Creed burning up the sales charts, Chella finds some real innovation with interactive cutscenes, but misses the freedom Agent 47 offered.

There is one rule in this game. And it needs to be broken. There is one goal. And when you attain it, you die. Dilemmas like this will make the indie game The Path interesting to say the least.

Chella throws a Halloween bash and all the best monsters attend, though characters from video games are conspicuously absent.

As Chella begins the move to her brand new (and first) house, she wonders what video game characters might make her journey easier, or more difficult.

This week Chella yearns for the golden age of yesteryear, when games like the original Halo, GTA III and Ico broke the mold and moved the industry forward.
