Hoping that I’ll be a part of you again someday

Hello everyone. It seems like a lot has happened since I was last here. I’m glad Stoo posted something about the System Shock remake because seeing the naive pre-tournament excitement of my football-based post at the top of the page was sort of making me feel sick. There was some other big news related to […]

Goalscoring Superstar Hero

Hello! Ok, so I went down the rabbit-hole again and decided to revisit a game we first covered a number of years ago. Fortunately, doing so also led me to a place where I could come up with some new content, too. This year, it’s 20 years since Euro ’96. (If Baddiel and Skinner released […]

Hello, my friend. Stay awhile and listen…

Hello everyone. You’ve probably noticed Rik has recently redone a few of the first reviews he wrote for this site, 15 years ago. There’s Toonstruck, a lesser known point and click adventure, and Speedball 2 for some violent future sport with that distinctive early 90s bitmap brothers art. Well, I’ve gone and redone one myself […]

In the late 22nd century, mankind took to the stars, to see what wonders the heavens offered

Hello everyone. Regular readers – if they, indeed, exist – will know that in recent years I’ve stuck quite closely to my comfort areas: namely, old football and racing games. Occasionally, I do get the taste for something a bit different, although often my attempts are thwarted by my own ineptitude and/or lack of patience. […]

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

Good evening. In a rare case of us actually covering successive games in a series in the right order and in a relatively timely fashion, here’s a review of Striker ’95.

Tony Daley is good at headers

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