Do you know what one of the biggest agendas in the games industry is right now? New graphical techniques? Interesting new controller designs? Refinements to online play?

Like most of us your wallet may be feeling the pinch, no thanks to the credit crunch.
That’s why I’ve decided to start up a new series of features called credit crunch gaming. The premise is simple: play an old game instead of forking out £40 for a new one. So what have I been playing this month?
