Hello. With the new season starting, I’ve rediscovered my low-level interest in Formula 1. And as such, I took the opportunity to dig out one of my old games for a (sort of) topical update. Check out our review of Formula 1 ’97, mofo!

They can’t be monks…a monk can’t play football at this level
Good evening. One new review tonight – a welcome addition to our sports section in the form of FIFA Soccer Manager. Well, I say welcome…as much as you can welcome something you’ve not played for 11 years because it really, really upset you.
Objection!
These days I probably get to spend more time playing on the DS on the way to work during the week than trying out more recent releases on the PC. Although my favourite game genres are probably sport and racing, I’ve come to realise that these areas aren’t where the DS really excels. So rather […]
In the bleak midwinter
Howdy. While the real Winter Olympics are taking place, we’re glumly ignoring real-life athletic achievements in favour of attempting to replicate them by hammering a few buttons on our PC keyboard. So here’s a review of Winter Challenge for you.
Keep it Retro
I’ve been meaning to post about this for a while, but events seem to have overtaken me somewhat. Anyway, as you’ll have noticed from Stoo’s recent newspost (or indeed from the site itself), the nice fellows over at Just Games Retro have decided to call it a day. It’s always a shame when a site […]
If you’ve got a problem, and no-one else can help
Hello there. One new review for you today, a whimsical head-scratcher by the name of Soldier of Fortune. Stay tuned for more, soon.
Sins of the Fathers
There’s been a countdown on the GOG homepage for a little while now promising a big and exciting announcement soon. It transpires that they’ve signed a deal with Activision, which doesn’t immediately make me think of any game in particular that I’d like to see on GOG soon. However, as part of the announcement, the […]
Trust is a weakness
Hello there. One new review for you today – I’ve taken a look at Uplink. Pedants beware: I haven’t shortened the name, it’s only known as Uplink: Hacker Elite in the US. We don’t need any of your fancy subtitles over here, no sir.
Where a man’s a man, and the children dance to the Pipes of Pan
Happy New Year! Hope you all had a good one. Once again, we narrowly failed to make a final New Year’s Eve update for 2009. So let’s put a positive spin on it – at least we’re in early with our first entry for 2010. And it’s a double update too. I’ve taken a look […]
2010: It’s gonna rock
So that was 2009. Despite our best efforts it’s been a quiet one, although we did manage to update each month, which is still better than we used to manage back in the early days (when, ironically, we had much more free time). Anyway, our limited ambitions for the year were largely realised. Having started […]
