Well, having begun this particular journey back in 2014, earlier today the three-season career that F1 2009 gives you came to an end. The race was a satisfying conclusion to the adventure of running a full career mode with full-length races, with a pole that was won quite easily and a race that could not […]
The penultimate round of my little career concluded earlier on, with yet another wet race at Interlagos. My previous two attempts to win this grand prix failed, with the conditions proving tricky on tyres – a three stop strategy was the way to go, but intermediate tyres don’t fare too well even on a three […]
I wrote a review of The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword some time ago, and when I wrote this review I did so through the slight haze of time and nostalgia. Recently I’ve been replaying this game, and whilst there are certain elements that I have come back to and enjoyed, I dare say there […]
If the rumours are to be believed, Nintendo’s next home console, the tentatively titled ‘NX’, is due to be released later this year (whether that applies to the entire globe or whether it will be a staggered release remains to be seen). As a lifelong Nintendo fan, I am naturally pretty excited at the prospect […]
It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these. Over the winter months I’ve been putting off the final three rounds of the season, and indeed, career mode (since F1 2009 only allows for three seasons). I wanted to finish this project though, so I forged ahead with round 15 – Japan, at Suzuka. […]
So, after a brief break, I got back into the F1 groove with round 11 in Valencia. At the time of writing this, I’ve completed Practice 1 and Practice 2, and I haven’t especially enjoyed the experience. The track has proven to be quite challenging, and to begin with I was more than a second […]
The tenth race of the 2009 season took me to the Hungaroring, the venue of the Hungarian Grand Prix. I’ve often enjoyed this track on F1 games. For reasons I can’t explain, I find it to be an easy circuit to learn and easy to master as well. It was clear from practice sessions that […]
After a British Grand Prix that was, frankly, disappointing, I came into the German GP in a more optimistic mood. The Nurburgring was the venue and I rather enjoyed this track. There were no especially difficult corners and in practice sessions I was posting competitive lap times, that I was able to convert into pole […]
So, having taken a trio of wins at the last three events (Spain, Monaco and Turkey), I came to Silverstone feeling moderately confident, despite not traditionally enjoying this track on F1 games (the fast turns from 2 to 6 in particular have a tendency to outfox me, and I would usually drift wide through at […]
After a stunning second win of the season at Monaco, my F1 circus rolled into Istanbul Park for the Turkish Grand Prix. Few tracks in F1 run counter-clockwise, but Turkey is one of them. The track is fast, featuring one of Formula 1’s fastest corners, the long but quick turn 8. There aren’t many areas […]
Why is it so many people have no sense of expediency or urgency when it comes to buses?!

Adam Driver Praised For His Responses To Chris Wallace's Rude Questions About His Looks
There is a fascinating article over at the BBC, which relates to the UK’s famous Jurassic Coast. This neck of the woods – or rather, um, coast – stretches from Devon to a place I’ve been to recently, Dorset. It is being steadily eroded by natural forces, and the consequence of this is to reveal […]
