Likely to come third… Well, that’s not how the lyric goes, but anyway; I’ve been nominated for two Lizzies, for Best Gaming Journalist (a category where I’ve been highly commended in the past) and Best Technology Reviewer (a category where I’m truly thrilled to have been nominated, especially in the company of the other nominees).

Games-related hilarity abounds, with 3DAvenue publishing my review of Sony’s interesting-but-flawed 24: The Game: “It’s universally accepted that Jack Bauer’s a very, very hard man that you don’t want to cross.
