Thief Gold on GoG The supreme master of stealth gaming finally arrives on Good Old Games. Even better it’s the Gold edition, with has three extra maps and used to be a bit harder to find. Here’s the quick version of Why thief was awesome: 1: large maps with a high degree of freedom – […]

So Gog promised “One of our most requested classic games is coming to @GOGcom on the 19th. Hint: its name starts with S.” Which immediately had me thinking SYSTEM SHOCK SYSTEM SHOCK SYSTEM SHO- oh wait, it’s Syndicate. That’s a classic too! But they’ve managed to set the good news up in the just about […]

Firaxis’ XCOM: Enemy Unknown announced 30-something PC (or former Amiga) gamers around the world are going to a special happy place in their heads, upon hearing this news. I for one fondly miss the days of my team of utter arseholes shooting each other in the back of the head and tripping over their own […]

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.
