I live my life a quarter mile at a time

Hello. Well, I guess that was January. I figured we’d have no problem getting a second update in before next month, but having done a bit of work on this one I got a bit lazy. No matter, we made it (just about) – here’s a review of TOCA Race Driver.

Good GOG

Despite being relatively enthusiastic about Good Old Games, it has to be said that I haven’t been exactly splashing the cash on the games they’ve got on offer. The ones I really want I’ve got already, and some of the others, despite being good games, fall into the “you can buy it, but you’ll never […]

Another year over, a new one just begun

So that was 2008. My journal prediction (made approximately 12 months ago) that the year would, ahem, “rock” may have been slightly tongue-in-cheek but, buoyed by 2007’s comparatively healthy schedule of updates, I had thought we could at least achieve something similar in 2008. For whatever reason, it didn’t happen. Still, we did manage an […]

I can feel it coming in the air tonight

Happy New Year! Hope you all had a good one. This was supposed to be our final update for 2008, but unfortunately we didn’t quite make it in time. Still, at least we’ve got things going for 2009. Here’s a review of Police Quest II for you.

And so this is Christmas

Once all of the pre-Christmas-day fuss is out of the way, I always find the Christmas break a good opportunity to get some gaming done. Of course, the temptation is to get rather too ambitious and start thinking you’ll get through all of those games you haven’t had the chance to get into yet. This […]

He’s afraid of…getting old

I don’t have a subscription any more, but to give myself something to read on the flight when I went on holiday last month I decided to pick up a copy of PC Zone. It just so happened it was the 200th issue, and as such featured a decent-sized nostalgia piece with memories from former […]

Waking up from the American dream

Hello. Some of you might be aware that there’s a Max Payne movie out. So in a topical(ish) update, I’ve taken a look at Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne. I also went to see the film itself, so just in case you were waiting to see what we thought before you rushed […]

It didn’t turn out the way you wanted it to

Another update, another game getting a lukewarm review and score. Some games you know are going to be a bit turdy but when you expect something more and are disappointed, well – it’s rubbish, frankly. Much as I enjoy squelching through games of all standards and writing about them, it’s nice to be able to […]

Another way to die

Hello. Another review, and another sequel – the ridiculously-named No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.’s Way. There will be more, not sure when.

Looking down into the grave of my love

So they’ve made a Max Payne movie with Mark ‘Marky-Mark’ Wahlberg in it. Hmm. Sometims laziness can work for you; in this case, having been dimly aware for some time that the film was going to be released, I was going to post something about how it looked like it might actually be alright (based […]
