Sure

There's the GamePro article as previously mentioned, The 6 Best JRPGs on the iPhone/iPad: http://www.gamepro.com/article/featu...n-iphone-ipad/

An op-ed piece on my fun and games () tracking down a mildly obscure Wii RPG on its release day: http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2011/08/...ghts-shopping/
Random thing to note: Supermarkets really do not like telling you prices the day before a game comes out.

Written a few 360 game reviews of late over here: http://www.xboxer360.com/author/jenjea/ but I'll direct you to the Duke Nukem Forever one in particular: http://www.xboxer360.com/reviews/rev...nukem-forever/

And finally before I bombard you with way too many links http://www.148apps.com/reviews/contre-jour-review/ which is for the main site I write for although lately I've been writing news rather than reviews.

Bet you wish you hadn't asked now.

I'm just finishing up for Christmas now so having recently passed the first anniversary of self employment (mid November time), I thought I'd update on how things have been going.

The 148apps stuff has continued to flourish I'm a senior staff writer there (one of 3) and have had plenty to be getting on with there. I've also dabbled in hardware reviewing courtesy of a fancy MiCoach gadget that Adidas sent my way along with some silly expensive football boots (). EA also rather kindly sent me over a goodie bag for Christmas with, amongst other things, copies of Battlefield 3 and Need for Speed: The Run

Freebies aside...

I wrote another feature for GamePro for Thanksgiving titled Attack of the Mutant Turkeys: Our 10 Favorite Moments of Poultry Themed Violence. Very fun to write!

Unfortunately, not long after the article went live, the site was closed and merged with PCWorld.com so I can't link to it (although can provide my copy if anyone is keen to see!).

On the plus side, I'm now contributing for PCWorld.com

Only started on Monday and I've only written one news post so far: http://www.pcworld.com/article/24673..._problems.html but I'm hoping in the New Year to ramp that up a lot as it's great exposure as well as pays well

Feeling very good about things at the moment! Here's hoping it continues
