One day I was sitting at my primitive five-year-old computer playing the classic Age Of Empires when I came across a simple scenario maker that was included in the game.
I started using it and got hooked into the scenario making for hours- even days. It became just as fun as the game. Suddenly I was drawn into the wonderful world of user-created gaming.
But when I got my Xbox 360 there were no such scenario makers or map editors. I was sorely disappointed.
Yes, since then there have a been a couple, which I discuss later, but compared with PC gaming it is pathetically lacking on sophisticated consoles like the 360 and PS3. Why?
SO why don’t we have the map-making facilities . . . ?

A nice new section that we will be exploring in 2009 is family gaming. As well as looking at the games we as parents can share with our children, we will also explore issues relating to online behaviour and how to navigate the increasingly adult-focused game world with our children.
