Europe Explored: Vienna
Both exhilaratingly modern and charmingly neo-classical, Vienna is a beautiful city - especially at night. Gorgeous palaces lining spacious boulevards light up against the deep blue sky like ghosts of a half-remembered past; fine art museums graciously share their spaces with pop-up stores and video-game galleries; the Museum Quarter is populated, by day, with students and tourists taking a break from the pace of the city, and by night by opera singers, graciously lending their lungs to the open air in free performances fit to rival those conducted nightly in the Wiener Staatsoper.

Europe Explored: Prague and Kutna Hora
Prague—Fairytale city, ever-growing European destination and stag-do central; famous for its cheap drinks, charming streets, hulking cathedrals and everything in between. For my first leg of my European tour I stop off at this delightful medieval town, and found that, as beautiful as it is, Praha is not quite all it’s made out to be.

A Look Back at the Wii
It's easy to scoff at the Wii. Its primary launch title was a pre-packaged compilation of family-friendly mini-games which packed a punch but ultimately lacked the complexity to keep anyone in the primary market for video games (for the sake of simplicity, over-15s and under-50s) entertained for much longer than the Christmas weekend. Later in its life it would be plagued by a mass of ports of last-generation titles (including, inexplicably, an army of GameCube games which were already playable on the console); and, most importantly, its controller was, well... something called a Wiimote.
