Editor’s Letter : We’ve come a long way in a short time
Hi geeks
Well, we’ve made it to issue 3, I know there were some of you out there thinking we couldn’t do it.

Probably the point that defines this more than anything else is the fact that I loved studying all those things and that today I miss the shear volume of learning that I was doing during my education.
I’ve just come home from a bad day at work so prepare yourself! I decided to play a bit of Fable 2 to let off a bit of steam but that didn’t work. It only made me madder. More of that below, but, got me thinking about some of the things that get me mad in terms of games. Here are just a few. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
