Upgrade Complete

Hi all. As mentioned a while back, we’ve been tinkering with the layout of some of the pages here. I don’t want to raise anyone’s expectations too high – yep, you’re still looking at a rather basic wordpress layout. However we hope that your experience reading this site will be improved just a little. First […]

Under Construction

Hi all, we’re currently making some improvements to the site, particularly the menu and review pages. Until then some pages might look messy with broken formatting. Should be finished within a week. (Narrator: they were not finished within a week). (ok I’m back from vacation now, will resume work asap).

Review: Dune

Hi there. We’re making a rare venture into the strategy section for today’s review, as we take a trip to Arrakis to mine spice and defeat the Harkonnen, in Cryo’s Dune.

Review: Hocus Pocus

Hi all, hope you are well. I’m back with another review, this time just a quick look at another 90s shareware platform game, Hocus Pocus.

Review: Assassin’s Creed: Director’s Cut

Hi all. Hope you’re well. Nice weather we’re having, huh? My mood always gets a real lift in the spring. [Note to self: check to see if ChatGPT could write these review intros so they sound more like a human has written them.] Today’s review is of Jade Empire: Special Edition, from Bioware.

Review: Doom 64

Hello everyone. As promised, here is another review! Sometimes we consider games that originated on other systems, so long as the PC version was released at least roughly around the same time. If on the other hand the port was years later it’s not really of interest to us. So Halo might happen one day […]

Review: Gun

Hi there. How’s it going? All good I hope? [What’s with all the question marks? Who are you talking to? Are they going to reply? Especially if you turn off comments on these posts? – Ed.] Today we have another review for you. It seems to be pretty much all reviews at the moment, rather […]

Review: Death Rally

Hello all. After exploring more recent games in our last few reviews, we’re going back to the 90s for today’s piece, in which we take a look at the action racer from Remedy and Apogee, Death Rally.

Review: Torchlight

Hi all! It’s been a while, but I have a new review for you. Today we’re looking at the action-RPG from Runic Games, Torchlight. More reviews soon. Maybe. Hopefully.
