Joe Russell wrote a new blog post: Prostitution + Videogames = GameCrush?
There can’t be a guy alive that hasn’t thought about paying a girl to play with him (if there was, there isn’t now), but I think most of that number would have been thinking of something a bit more intimate than sharing a game [...] -
Joe Russell wrote a new blog post: Funding Set Up For Independent Developers
This is potentially exciting stuff. A group of the biggest names in independent development have banded together to create the Indie Fund – a theoretical honey pot for fledgling independent developers to dip into to get their own projects off the ground.
Given the huge… -
Joe Russell wrote a new blog post: Gamer Limit Review: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat
Call of Pripyat was a decidedly difficult game to anticipate. Coming as it was from a series which has spawned both a hit and a miss, for many the third instalment was anything but a certain success. In 2007, gamers worldwide found themselves enraptured [...] -

If, like me, you’ve been longing for a virtual outlet for your penchant for hanging onto the side of helicopters and riding on the top of jets, I have some good news for you. Avalanche Studios’ upcoming insanity-simulator Just Cause 2 is getting a demo across [...] -
Joe Russell commented on the blog post Civilization V is coming to a PC near you this Fall
I am insanely excited about this. Possibly No. 1 on my list of games to look forward to.

Joe Russell commented on the blog post Editorial: Are Games Art?
Michael, thank you for the link. Frankly the presentation deserves a post in itself, and honestly I should know better than to take anything Edge says at face value anyway.
I hope you feel I wasn’t too judgemental in my opening statements, I intended the quotes as nothing more than… -
Joe Russell wrote a new blog post: Editorial: Are Games Art?
The idea of games as art has been a discussion point within the industry for a while now. We’ve had researchers claim that games are as valuable as books in terms of literary value, while Tale of Tales, developer of The Path, [...] -
Joe Russell wrote a new blog post: First three C&Cs released for free
Putting aside the nightmare of actually speaking that title aloud, this is sure to come as a pleasant surprise to anyone who played Real-Time Strategy games in the mid to late 1990s. The first three games in the classic series Command & Conquer have been officially [...] -
Joe Russell wrote a new blog post: Alan Wake Cancelled For PC
This is possibly the saddest news of the week. Remedy Entertainment, those behind PC stalwarts Max Payne and its sequel, have decided that Alan Wake will no longer be coming to PC. In an announcement made by a Microsoft spokesperson yesterday, it was revealed [...] -
Joe Russell wrote a new blog post: Ubisoft Announce Ghost Recon: Future Soldier
Brilliant news coming from Ubisoft Paris today, as the Ghost Recon series has a new title announced after a three year hiatus. While details are obviously thin at the moment, it seems as if Future Soldier is heading further down the road than Advanced Warfighter… -
Joe Russell wrote a new blog post: Thoughts On Mass Effect 2
Seeing as I’ve found myself with a bit of time between finishing Mass Effect 2 and starting Bioshock 2, I thought I’d take a moment to collect my thoughts on the former before they get muddled by the latter. As ever, once I’ve completed a game I [...] -
Joe Russell commented on the blog post Teaser For Fallout: New Vegas Released
I’d love to apply all the actions I performed in Fallout 3 to a real metropolis with, say, a working police force. Definitely looking forward to this one.

Joe Russell wrote a new blog post: Teaser For Fallout: New Vegas Released
It doesn’t seem too long ago at all since we were all traversing the barren wastelands of Bethesda’s Fallout 3, helped in part by the continued release of DLC after the initial game, but the franchise hasn’t been sitting on its hands for very [...] -
Joe Russell wrote a new blog post: THQ emphasizes the importance of story in Metro 2033
Arguably one of the weakest elements of current video game releases is the habit of treating the in-game story as an afterthought. Even those games with a strong narrative structure still seem afraid to venture past the clichéd and the commonplace when setting… -

Good news for everyone who didn’t buy GTA IV on Xbox 360 – Rockstar have announced that Episodes from Liberty City, the double-pack of expansions for GTA IV, will be released for PlayStation 3 and PC on March 30, 2010. It’s [...] -
Joe Russell wrote a new blog post: Looking Back: Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
The Tom Clancy series will always have a special place in the video gaming section of my heart. While the modern monoliths of GTA IV, Bioshock and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare often frequent my hard drive, there exists a small collection of games that are [...] -
Joe Russell commented on the blog post Halo: Reach Screenshots Released
Agreed. Apparently ODST was a relative breath of fresh air, but I just couldn’t work up the excitement needed to buy it. I’m hoping Reach might manage it though.

Joe Russell wrote a new blog post: Halo: Reach Screenshots Released
Bungie has been reluctant to divulge any real information on Halo: Reach for quite a while now, but it would seem as if the wait is over. Just a few days ago, an interview from Edge Magazine revealed that “It’s not a continuation of the Master [...] -
Joe Russell wrote a new blog post: On Being Awful At Video Games
I play a lot of video games. If I actually sat down and counted up the hours I dedicated to my favourite hobby, I think I would get very scared at how it compared to the amount of work I do for my Uni course, or even compared to the amount of hours I sleep. [...]

Joe Russell wrote a new blog post: Well, Hi
Well… Hey, Gamer Limit. My name is Joe Russell, and I tend to write about video games on sites such as this one, and my own personal site The Thoughtshake. Other than that, I’ve not got a lot to say at the moment, so I’ll fill the space with some facts about myself [...]
