I'm Alex V. I like to write about games. My history project is the videogame 1000, an attempt to form some sort of canonical list of interesting games over the medium's short history.

Please send me a message, and add me on raptr or twitter.

Highlights

The chance to punish historical figures in hell gives Dante's Inferno an extra dimension... READ

Famed film critic Roger Ebert's controversial comments brought the games vs art debate to the fore once more, but gamer's defensive arguments may cause more harm than good for the medium... READ

Why Red Dead Redemption's 1911 frontier is the perfect videogame setting... READ

What lies in store for the IPad in terms of new gaming experiences? This gaming platform is so much more than an oversized mobile phone. READ

Alpha Protocol - why can't my crack secret service operative shoot straight? 2010-07-15
Dante's Inferno finished. Clearly this game was sabotaged by God of War fanboys. Great action, and a coherent, affecting storyline. 2010-07-14
Also finished Heavy Rain. Feeling the heavy weight of possibilities missed. Some sections made me sweat like no other game has. 2010-07-14
Finally finished Dead Space after 2 years. Not as good as Alien, but pretty damned close. Often eerily beautiful, sometimes frustrating. 2010-07-14
New post on the moral choices in Dante's Inferno. http://www.dontshootfood.com/?p=1463. #DantesInferno 2010-07-10
