It’s been a busy old week for me, and I’m glad for the weekend with sunny weather and the start of the World Endurance Championship at Imola. Six hours of roaring prototypes and GT3 cars is going to be great tomorrow.
But I mustn’t forget to play and write about some of the game’s I’ve seen recently – look out for Heave Ho 2, which I had a raucously good time playing at London Game Fest – and have on the go for review. Hopefully I find some more time for Pragmata too!
