    Have You Played The Occupation?

    Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. Would that doing a games journalism was about sneaking around the offices of a big company, stealing people’s answerphone tapes and rifling through their private documents. S
