So GOG have just added Myst to their catalogue. Which gives me the opportunity to post a link to this. I’m a PC. News update: Gaming celebrity Jimmy White fails to win jungle-based reality show. Meanwhile, a handful of people watch a video of him saying “Blame the Chalk” on YouTube.

Those of us in the UK are currently being subjected to the latest series of ITV’s jungle-based reality show. The ‘celebrities’ are of a particularly poor standard this year – Samantha Fox, a bloke who used to be in Hollyoaks – that kind of thing. But they have got Jimmy White, who gaming fans may […]

So, the new Pro Evolution Soccer is out, and the general consensus seems to be that the series is on the wane. Apparently, the decline started a couple of years ago with PES 2008, which is odd as it’s the latest one I bought and I’m still playing it now. It’s got one or two […]

I’ve enjoyed a few games on DS, but few have been as good as GTA: Chinatown Wars. I have to admit, when it was first announced I wasn’t sure whether the DS was the right platform for GTA, and part of me dismissed it as a half-hearted knock-off of the early PC efforts. I was […]

Okay, so if you didn’t manage to catch it last week, just a quick note to say that Charlie Brooker’s Gameswipe is on again tonight, BBC4, 10.50pm (or you can catch it here on the iPlayer). While most of us were looking forward to Brooker returning to the world of gaming, where he first made […]

If you’re in the UK, The Fast and the Furious will just have been on telly. The fourth film is out on DVD on Monday (er, I didn’t know that, a friend told me). Plus EA have just given their Need for Speed series yet another makeover in the form of SHIFT. It’s almost like […]

Hello. Just a quick one today – a review of the futuristic racer Trickstyle.

Hey. It’s been a while. I’d like to pretend I’ve been on holiday, but that would be a lie. Here’s something good for you all – or at least a review of something good, anyway – we’ve finally managed to cover the much-loved Grim Fandango. It’s so good it makes me feel bad about all […]

I recently came across the blog of the RAM Raider. It’s basically the thoughts and rantings of a seasoned UK-based gaming journalist who seems quite angry about the way things are in ‘the industry’. None of the stuff is a massive surprise – PRs are dickheads, getting an ‘exclusive’ means promising a high review score, […]

As a cheapskate with an interest in older games and a massive pile of untried titles sitting in a cupboard under the stairs, I don’t tend to buy too many new releases these days. Sports games are an exception, however. More specifically, a new cricket game will more or less represent an essential purchase on […]
