So Rockstar have announced GTAV. Here’s some speculation from PSM. My first thought is, will this be the sort of change we saw from GTAIII to Vice City – same technology but more features? After all there was much we saw cut from VC and San Andreas, like buying property or SA’s RPG style skills […]

10 years on
So, we’ve managed ten years of this humble little site. We’ve never been quite as productive as the ideal I hold in my head, but we have in total churned out a lot of reviews of PC games from the past. I hope you’ve found our writing to be useful and interesting. Anyway tho, Rik […]
oh no! two ! is down! four! is down!
So I went and got Operation Flashpoint from Good Old Games, which may have been incredibly foolish. I bought it once already, the first time around nine-ish years ago. And I sucked. My attempts usually worked out as: 1: lie prone in cover 2: carefully line up shot against target silhouetted against sky 3: miss […]
won’t get fooled again
Hello all. We’ve gone and covered another CSI game: this time it’s Miami. I do appreciate that’s the third this year. If you’re of the opinion that we should be playing more “worthy” titles rather than TV tie-ins then, well, some of that on the way soon I hope.
won’t get fooled again
So I got the CSI Miami game. It’s… not very good. I was warned, of course, since it’s basically just Dark Motives with new missions and the Miami cast. I think I’m going to give myself RSI from mass-clicking every screen, and showing every bit of evidence to every suspect, so maybe I should just […]
Bravery is not a function of firepower
Hello all. Because we like playing at features that proper professional gaming magazines and websites do, we’re continuing our series of discussion reviews. The idea is to revisit some of the games we’ve covered in the past 10 years, to celebrate this site lasting that long (hurrah for us). So far we’ve covered an ancient […]
I really should be contributing more like this
Hi all. I’ve not been doing great for generating content this year. Sorry about that! Unlike Rik, I don’t have the excuse of being out of the house doing grownup married stuff. I just ran out of motivation. But to make up for it I have now spent several weeks slaying orcs, and here’s another […]
the most running away I’ve ever done in a game
My current gaming project is: Gothic 2. If you’re not familiar with the Gothic series, imagine something like Elder Scrolls (single character, open world, action combat) but with a steeper learning curve. By which I mean, expect your pitifully weak hero to get casually murdered by every wolf, bandit and oversized insect lurking 20 yards […]
what can change the nature of a man?
Hello all. Today I bring you one of the greatest PC RPGs: Planescape Torment. I’m glad this one’s a classic as it marks a minor milestone here: our 200th game covered. For those of you who have read a signficiant number of them, you have our thanks. And hey even if you just flick through […]
Join the Mobile Infantry and save the world. Service guarantees citizenship.
Hi all. Today’s review is Starship Troopers. Which would be the game of the film of the book. It’s kindly provided by guest-reviewer the J-Man. While it’s no longer updated, he still has a lot of quality reviews up at Just Games Retro and we recommend you have a read there. Especially as he’s covered […]
