What’s wrong with being sexy?

Hello there. We have a new discussion review for you today. Chosen for reasons of simply trying to give something a go that we’d never bothered to look at before, rather than any attempt to be topical, we make a belated attempt to take a look at a game from the Leisure Suit Larry series. […]

3D Realms are back. And they’ll always have Duke3D, at least.

It’s been many years since we thought of 3D Realms as a company that actually made games. Their glory days were back in the late 80s to mid 90s, first releasing a bunch of platformers and scrolling shooters under their initial name Apogee. Then they created a few of the early First Person shooters, including […]

Her Majesty’s loyal terrier, defender of the so-called faith

Hello! I’ve been in the mood for some shooty action for a while, and a quick look through the archives suggests it’s been a while since I tackled a first-person shooter. (It doesn’t seem like a long time to me, because I’ve reached the age where all the years blur together, but it is.) Anyway, […]

The sport is literally going on forever

Hi there. It’s the Ryder Cup this weekend, and in a remarkable piece of forward planning, here’s a review of a golf game: Sensible Golf. One of the problems with having an idea to tie in content with real life sporting events is that real life sporting events are happening constantly – as David Mitchell […]

Touch My Tissue IV: “Did I show you my tissue?”

Hello there. From boldly going where no-one has gone before, I’m back on more familiar territory today, with the fourth game in the Broken Sword series: The Angel of Death.

Captains log stardate 39395: The away team sucks. They’re all fired.

Hello everyone. We’re quite fond of our discussion pieces; they prompt us to try games we might not have otherwise noticed, they let us bounce ideas off each other and they also remind us is an amusing manner that we’re frequently actually pretty bad at videogames. Even though we spend a lot of time playing […]

Ten out of ten for power…lucky to get one for accuracy

Good day. As the festival of football continues in Brazil, we bring you coverage of a game that’s as terrible as England’s performances: Actua Soccer.

Football is our love

Hello. It’s time for the World Cup. A time when people who don’t like football get bored by the constant talk of football, and everyone else gets bored by the people who like to go on about how much they don’t like football. Anyway, in a vaguely topical update, we’ve reviewed a football game: Sensible […]

Nox

Hello everyone. I’ve been playing through the fairly obscure action-RPG from 2000 known as Nox, so here are my brief thoughts. I wish I could tell you to ditch Torchlight 2 and Diablo 3 immediately and go play this over-looked classic. Unfortunately, some games are forgotten for fairly good reasons. Still, it’s good to at […]

Shoot again, player one

Hi there. Today we’re looking at an old pinball game: Pinball Fantasies. For reasons that will be explained, I also decided to go back and write a little more about its sequel, Pinball Illisions, too.
