My family are always pretty good at getting me great gifts (an Amazon wish list is great “inspiration”) and this year I was pretty pleased! Star Wars – Book of Sith: Secrets from the Dark Side A very fancy case reveals a book that I can only describe as a kind of Sith Bible. Here’s

Mirrors Edge – XBox 360
I haven’t posted anything game related in a while, mainly as I’ve been playing Pro Evo 2009 (more on that later!) but since I got a couple of games for Christmas I’ve spent a bit more time away from the football! I saw a couple of reviews and screenshots of Mirrors Edge and added it
