Lunchtimes in our household have become a lot more pleasurable lately thanks to two products: Innocent’s banana, pineapple and coconut smoothie, and Sean O’Connor’s WWII skirmish simulation Firefight.

Neither the drink or the game look all that appetizing. The smoothie is the color and consistency of baby puke; Firefight is all gaudy top-down countryside and miniscule misshapen sprites. Fortunately once you’ve gulped your first mouthful/assaulted your first hill, you forget all about appearances.
