I think I may have mentioned it a couple of times on the forums in the past but neglected to post about it here. Since my first review in June 2008, I've been writing game reviews and gaming-related articles for my local newspaper (which I happen to work for). I was even lucky enough to get to interview two of the lead developers on the Playstation 3 hit God of War III when they were in Australia promoting the game!

The articles have appeared both in the pages of The Cairns Post and on its website, cairns.com.au. Some reviews were of promotional copies but more often than not, I've reviewed a game I bought.

As of this writing, here's what they've published:
