In our “news you’ve already heard but I figured it needs mentioning here anyway” section Duke Nukem Forever out next year In it’s honour here’s a list (last updated last year) of developments in gaming, technology and the real world since the game was first announced 14 years ago. The entire GTA series has happened, […]

Apologies for the lack of retro-gaming activity lately. Having got myself a shiny widescreen monitor I felt the need for something more modern and grabbed myself Grand Theft Auto IV in a steam sale. So far I’m mostly loving it, with two caveats. One is, I can’t race for shit so I’m hoping you don’t […]

So Starcraft 2 is out. From what I’ve heard it’s not all that different to the first one – perhaps a disappointment to some in these days when RTS games try to be a bit more detailed, with features like morale and cover. Others will probably love having their old favourite return with a shiny […]

Oh dear where did June go? Well, Rik’s very busy with Important Real Life stuff and I’m… I’m just lazy really. However today the review machine lurches back into motion, with a look at the highly entertaining Blood.

A year or so ago I grumbled about the Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection not being released on PC. Well, now they’ve gone and added a bunch of games to Steam. It’s not as big a collection as that console release, and Sonic (apart from 3D Blast) is conspicuous in his absence. No Streets Of […]

Well I thought that, since I’ve kinda failed to keep up with Rik’s output, it’s time to get cracking on more content. So I’d have another go at King’s Quest 6. This must be about the sixth attempt, somehow I’ve just never succesfully played through, but we really should get a King’s Quest on board […]

So I picked up Blood from gog.com, and sat through what has to be the ugliest, most plastic-looking pre-rendered cutscene I’ve yet encountered. Were we once impressed by this kind of thing? It’s aged horribly. In the interests of being positive, here’s a mid-90s intro done right: Yes we’re rocking out on midi music there. […]

Hello everyone. Rik’s got some major reviews in the pipeline, his favourite game ever and his arch nemesis. For tonight though I have just a fun little platform game for you: Cosmo’s Cosmic Adventure.

Hello everyone. The days are getting warmer, people are thinking to their summer holidays so here’s the tropical lushness of Far Cry.

So there’s another Prince of Persia game on the way, The Forgotten Sands. Not apparently a game adapation of the upcoming movie (if it was, it would be a game of a movie of a game which is a rather amusing concept), but certainly timed to coincide with it. It’s a return to the Sands […]
