Football Manager 2008 – Cheap on Xbox 360
May 31, 2008
As you probably know by now, I’m a big fan of Football Manager 2008, I’m a big PC gamer so have not played the Xbox 360 version, but if you’re interested in a couple of cheap bargains deals on it, then check out these following links look to be really good deals on this game that has only recently been released.
Gamerbase – London Gaming Centre
May 30, 2008
Gamerbase is a gaming centre located in the HMV store at the London Trocadero at Piccadilly Circus – they have taken the idea of renting out computers for people to use (much like internet cafés do), but in this case they provide top-of-the-line gaming hardware for people who want to have a great multiplayer gaming experience. I recently had to opportunity to visit Gamerbase while attending a media event for Dell XPS gaming systems and saw first-hand how impressive the hardware and facilities were.
Dell XPS 730 Desktop Gaming PC
May 29, 2008
If you look at the Dell XPS range and the XPS 730 Desktop Gaming PC in particular, both in terms of appearance and specifications you might wonder who would be the target market.
Given that these kind of machines are pre-built high-end gaming systems – I’m guessing that these customers must be the teenagers/students grown up and working (on decent salaries) who now have less time for assembling and tinkering with their computers and just want to get on with top-end gaming. These computers now typically come with custom cases, LEDs, water cooling and are already overclocked, plus have the ability to be easily overclocked further – sometimes even using a windows interface to do so.
I recently had the opportunity to attend a Dell media event which was held in Central London that was focussed on PC gaming, both from the point of view of system builders, component manufacturers and professional gamers.

May 28, 2008
I was browsing around looking for a cheap bargain the other day and found a great Play.com voucher code on offer for anyone who is looking to buy from the online store Play.com in the next few days.
You can use the following voucher code (when paying for your order) to get 5% off a single purchase with Play.com and it has no minimum or maximum spend limit imposed on this offer. The only thing to bear in mind is that the voucher apparently expires on 31st May 2008.

May 27, 2008
After inheriting a cheap Nintendo DS with “Mr Myagies Brain Breaker” (long story, wont boar you) I set about trying to find myself some cheap games that I actually wanted to play. “Easy task” I thought, “The DS has been out for ages” I said, “cheap second hand stuff will be kicking about everywhere” I told my missus.
How wrong could I have been. Even the dodgy second hand stuff from the dreaded eBay was gonna cost me at least 1 nights beer money. There had to be a solution!? Ok it’s an old solution, but make sure when you do buy a game that it is one of the Nintendo DS’s top games!

May 24, 2008
I recently wrote about the fact that Jericho season 2 had been cancelled and how the fans are once again trying to save the show, however this time round no amount of peanuts being sent to CBS will convince them to produce a season 3.
With this in mind, the fans are organising several efforts on different fronts to show that there is a real market for the Jericho show to other TV networks out there who could potentially bring it back for a 3rd season.

May 23, 2008
The Zath Premiership recently reached the finishing line after a long, hard season that has run in parallel with and was based upon the English Premier League football season.
In the previous season, Zath Premiership 06/07 was won by my very own team, the mighty Zath Rovers – I even won on merit with no cheating or paying off of goalkeepers or anything else that the tabloids could have made up to take the shine off my title win! 
The Math of Zath! – April 2008
May 21, 2008
I’ve thought up a new regular post for the Zath! site, much like I post with the ‘Path of Zath!‘ (somewhat irregularly, but I’ve got some new ones on their way) – this time round I thought I could call it the ‘Math of Zath!’ – it is basically a post I’ll make once a month that showcases some of the most popular and best posts in the previous month.
Also, being the analytical person that I am, I’ll probably throw in some statistics in along the way – don’t there won’t be too much, I don’t want to bore people to death with numbers!
WiiWare Games Are Here!
May 20, 2008
This morning I downloaded my first WiiWare game, ‘Lost Winds’. I’ve been waiting quite a while for Nintendo’s new channel to come out and I’m glad it’s here!
WiiWare is the same as the virtual console, only the games are all brand new and made by smaller games companies, to give them a chance to show what they can do!

May 19, 2008
I was recently talking to a friend of mine who had got a free Tesco SIM card for her mobile phone, she has recently got sick of paying out each month and being bound to a contract with one of the main large mobile networks which just did not give her value for money.
Tesco (the UK Supermarket) has been selling Pay As You Go mobile phones for a number of years now, they began by selling PAYG handsets of the major networks, but in recent times they have been mobile phone handsets on their own branded Tesco Mobile network – which actually uses the O2 network much like Virgin Mobile uses T-Mobile.
