I very rarely play new games. This isn’t just because I’m a retro fan, it’s also because I’m cheap. So my version of “latest games” is “couple year old games on sale on Steam”. What I’m currently working on is: Batman Arkham Asylum. Which I recall receiving huge amounts of gamer praise and critical acclaim […]

So I went and bought a Wii. Actually, I had to buy a TV to go with it too. First game purchased after such an extravagance: See, I’m a Nintendo fan who’s never actually owned a Nintendo. Or a console of any sort.* Just played on emulators a lot, from NES through to N64. But […]

Hello all. It might look once again like I’ve left Rik to run the show, but I’m back. With Titan Quest. Which is… alright. I hadn’t even been planning on reviewing it until I realised that, at 2006, it’s narrowly within our range. That’s not the most exciting return ever, is it? But at least […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
