Welcome to our history. Here are all the family gamer articles past and present. Brew a fresh pot of tea, pull up a seat and have a good read.

Family Pocket Gamer 1

There was simply so much good material about handheld and mobile gaming with a family, that I thought I'd create a thread of its very own. If you are into gaming on the go, loo, back of the car or just like the less intrusive devices - this is the column for you.

After stretching my legs with my first 12 articles, I have had some time to reflect and improve things. This time round the articles are to be published every Friday and will be complemented by a mini-blog on twitter. I also want to meet and get contributions from readers this time, so I have given in and setup a Facebook page so I can meet you all.

Family Gamer 1

Wanting to slow down and do something more enjoyable is all very well, but I soon realised this was going to be difficult. Difficult saying no thanks I won't take that free game, I'll write something for free instead. Difficult actually figuring out what it was I had to say, and difficult to do that on anything like a regular basis.

These 12 articles are my first faltering steps towards resolving some of these difficulties. As it turns out I failed to some extent on every level. But you have to start somewhere I guess.
