Hi all. Been a fairly quiet summer, but we finally stirred ourselves into action and have two new articles for you. Having now lost my soul to World of Warcraft (troll hunter at level 69), I thought it fitting that I play through and review Blizzard’s earlier Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness. Meanwhile, continuing in […]

RIP space-sims?
Recently I was thinking about updating our Brief History of Space-sims – and something occured to me: what releases have there been in the past two or three years? The only significant one I can think of, off the top of my head, is X3. Back in the day I used to be a big […]
boo! behind you! (repeat, repeat)
So I flicked through Gamespot’s review of Doom3, and it seems to come down to “yeah it’s a generic shooter that kills its own tension by being so repetitive. But it’s really shiny!!!! 8/10” It’ll be a few years before we look at Doom3 ourselves – but for now here’s my own summary which is […]
knee deep in the classics
iD have added their back-catalogue to steam! Also Raven have added some of their iD-engine-powered games like Hexen. just look at the front page I’d still rather be able to buy these titles on a CD-compilation, but I’m old-fashioned like that. This is a good move on iD’s part, and I only hope other companies […]

So I thought we should do this properly and go right back to the first Warcraft, and play through them in order. […]
Review: Star Trek Judgment Rites
Hi all. I still miserably fail to match Rik’s pace in writing content, so here’s just one review for today. It’s another Trek game: Judgment Rites. Also, another reminder about our shiny new journal, full of quality gaming goodness.
Hurrican!
Unofficial Turrican remake Old-skool 2D shooters aren’t something we write about much; the PC wasn’t well-regarded as a platform for such things, and to be honest I don’t think we’d have a lot to say about most of them anyway. As for Turrican itself, I don’t think Turrican itself even got a PC release. Still, […]
Time is like a river. No, a sea. Or possibly an onion?
Hello all. Recently I completed Price of Persia: The Sands of Time. And it’s a rather fantastic game – breathtaking acrobatics, a misty-mythical Arabian-nights feel, and a good story too. I actually gave a damn about what happened to the Prince and Farah – and it’s all too rare that a game evokes such a […]
