    GO POP : Issue # 4

    Welcome back dear readers! I have returned from my sabbatical, having spent it in a mix of sleeping, unpacking, playing Far Cry 3 and getting in touch with my ancestral roots.

Either way, they’re now along with cloaks in my list of awesome clothes it should...

    New Horizons with Defiance

    New Horizons with Defiance

    One of the most compelling reasons for anyone to play a video game is the ability to impose our own will on the game's environment.

The most malleable genre has proven to be the 'Massively Multiplayer' genre (known as MMOs), where the ongoing changes to the world are directly influenced by the actions of the player population.
