I like football games, possibly more than I actually like football. A couple of matches in the evening after work during the week is one of life’s simple pleasures. But recently I’ve found it difficult to find a footy game I can get on with. Not since PES 2008 (which. depending on your point of […]

CSI: Unsolved!
This is another review of a Nintendo DS game, kind of following on from this one, the reasons for which are explained here. Normal service (i.e. reviews of old PC games) will be resumed shortly. Such was my fondness for CSI: Deadly Intent – The Hidden Cases, I would have been happy for subsequent games […]
Real cars, real racing
Hi there. How are things? Anything going on in the world? I’ve been on holiday, just catching up. Today we’re looking at some semi-serious racing action, in the form of RACE: The WTCC Game from Simbin.
CSI: Deadly Intent – The Hidden Cases (Extras!)
Hello! So, I captured quite a few screenshots, bits of audio and video clips for my piece on CSI: Deadly Intent – The Hidden Cases. Although I was able to use most of what I wanted to in the main article, I figured I may as well stick some of the rest up here.
CSI: Deadly Intent – The Hidden Cases
This is a review of a Nintendo DS game. We don’t review DS games on here, except here we sort of are doing that, obviously. But it’s not going in the main list of PC reviews. As discussed previously, I sort of just wanted to write about this game and get it out of my system. […]
The Shelves of Shame
The Cupboard of Shame is no more. No, I haven’t purged my collection of regretful purchases, or accepted that perhaps I’m not ever going to play that strategy game, especially not if I need to dust off my old XP machine in order to play it. But the Cupboard of Shame, once a metaphor, was […]
You can go sleep at home tonight if you can get up and walk away
Hi there. Sorry for the radio silence: I always find August to be pretty unproductive, but this time I did have a genuine (but boring) excuse – moving house. Anyway, time to get back on the reviewing horse with a look at CSI: Deadly Intent.
Hoping that I’ll be a part of you again someday
Hello everyone. It seems like a lot has happened since I was last here. I’m glad Stoo posted something about the System Shock remake because seeing the naive pre-tournament excitement of my football-based post at the top of the page was sort of making me feel sick. There was some other big news related to […]
Good evening everyone, I AM Terry Butcher
It’s the Euros! And in an attempt to build excitement for the forthcoming action, the BBC has compiled a series of video highlights of memorable moments from previous tournaments. One featured match that I didn’t immediately recall was Spain’s 4-3 victory over Yugoslavia in Euro 2000, secured in dramatic circumstances with a late winner. I […]
Goalscoring Superstar Hero
Hello! Ok, so I went down the rabbit-hole again and decided to revisit a game we first covered a number of years ago. Fortunately, doing so also led me to a place where I could come up with some new content, too. This year, it’s 20 years since Euro ’96. (If Baddiel and Skinner released […]
