Oh dear another dead blog? My excuse is I’ve been tied up moving to a new flat and don’t have internets there yet. Rest assured though that we are playing through some oldies which we should see reviewed and discussed in the near future. Currently working on All New World of Lemmings. Which, er, wasn’t […]

To help get into the festive spirit, I went looking for: Christmas Lemmings! Which is really just regular lemmings with snowy levels and the little guys in red costumes. Oh, and adlib-card FM Synthesis renditions of “Good King Wenceslas”. Which coming through Dosbox’s sound emulation will probably drive you mad within around 7 minutes. What […]

So my adventures into the Forgotten Realms come to a premature halt, thanks to missing data. Originally Baldur’s gate came on five disks. Some time later it was re-released along with the Tales of the Sword Coast expansion, but now fitted on two disks + one for the expansion. Presumably the reduction in disks was […]

A year or so ago I recall that of our review categories, Sports was the smallest in size. Since then tho Rik has churned out several reviews from the realms of football, golf, tennis and cricket. I don’t have a lot to offer in this section myself, but you never know. I have this odd […]

November: it’s dull and grey outside, so you may as well stop feeling guilty about playing videogames. Thus we’ve been unusually active these past few weeks. A while back we were thinking that the Sports section looked undernourished; Rik has been working steadily over the past year to rectify that and his latest offering is […]

So here’s a question – I’m keeping it hypothetical for now. Game A is released, and it’s awesome, gaining both critical and popular acclaim. The publishers see dollar signs, and demand a sequel as soon as possible. With no time to develop an entirely new title, Game B is thus virtually the same except for […]

So I’ve finally played Half-Life 2. And it’s awesome! The trick is, Valve sat down and and thought up a whole bunch of set-piece scenarios to put you in. So it’s not just running from one room to the next shooting people, and you never feel like you’re doing exactly the same thing twice. The […]

So a week or two ago I went out and got the ID Super Pack on Steam. It covers pretty much iD’s entire back catalogue, bar a few obscure titles, from Commander Keen to Doom3. Plus there’s some of the iD-engine-powered titles from Raven, like Heretic and Hexen. Total cost is $69.95 – far less […]

Hello all. Rik is trying something new and tackling an RPG. He’s currently spending hours every night shooting rats and mutants and grinding his way through endless quests, and reckons he might be finished sometime around 2014. So in the meantime you’re stuck with me. And I’ve reviewed a charming old Lucasarts adventure, huzzah! So […]
