Something about ice cream

Hello. For the second time this month, I’ve gone back to revisit a game that I already covered a while ago, in an attempt to provide a slightly more insightful review. I don’t think I’m going to make a habit of this. It was fun to go back and play the games again – but […]

But oh, oh, those Hot Import Nights

Good evening. Today we have another one of those street-racing games for you, a sequel to one we covered a while ago (and quite liked). It’s Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights.

Yes! Of course I understand, Mr. Asparagus!

Hi there. For reasons of maintaining my own sanity and preventing the trickle of new content from me slowing to an occasional drip, I don’t tend to make a habit of re-visiting old reviews and tinkering with them. However, I’ve temporarily abandoned my it-is-what-it-is approach in an attempt to fix one or two of my […]

You used to be that crazy guy, Jeremy

Hi there. Following memories of DOS-based flight sims and dreadful old football games, we return to the modern era for some slow-motion shooting action in today’s review of Stranglehold.

It’s a goooooooaaaaaal

Hi there. It’s time for some midweek football action, with our review of Striker.

Vous n’avez jamais connu aussi rapide, aussi renversant!

Hello! Just popping in with a quick review, of the 90s kart racer SuperKarts. More soon, I hope.

You have become a cult figure with the fans; they chant your name around the ground at every game

Hello there! Another review for you today, and what better way to complete a hat-trick of January reviews (groan) than with a football game? Some time ago I had a look at a mid-00s version of Football Manager. But what ever became of Championship Manager? Here’s a look at the 2006 edition. As Stoo mentioned last time, […]

In the Grim Darkness of the Far Future

Hello everyone, today we have a rare review from myself. A little while back I wrote about lesser-known first-person shooters of the 90s; so here’s an obscure title from the following decade: Warhammer 40000: Fire Warrior. Also if you’ve not read it already: last week Rik and I discussed the 2006 adventure game Dreamfall: The […]

They say that every story has a beginning and an end, but sometimes the two are one and the same.

Hello all. Several years ago I wrote about the adventure game The Longest Journey. Today, in the latest of our series of discussion reviews, we look at the sequel, Dreamfall. The mid 2000s were a quiet period in the history of adventures, and many thought the traditional point and click-based approach was dead, so this […]
