Thirty years ago, a guy called Gary Thuerk from a computer firm sent an email to 393 users on the US government-run computer network that eventually became the internet.

Presently i find little time to play consoles, my Xbox is gathering dust and i have not brought a game for over a year. The microsite for the PS3 game “HAZE” a first-person shooter, has reignited a flame in my heart for gaming. The website not only looks visually amazing but is a online game in its own right. The combination of powerful visuals and mind blowing sound made my heart pulsate. Like all good websites i found myself losing all perspective of time, not noticing a crowd of work colleges looking over my shoulder as i explored the site.
If the British weather continues in the same mood, i think i could be tempted to splash the cash and find my inner gamer again.
