I get my back into my living

Hello. Today’s review is CSI: NY – The Game. Work continues, both on the site and on new content. We’ll get more to you as soon as we can. Until then, Happy Easter, everyone!

In the bleak midwinter…

Hi there. It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Sorry for the delay. We go a little further back in time than usual for this one – it’s a favourite from my Atari ST days, the snow-based strategy game Midwinter. Hope you enjoy it. There will be more, as soon as we can bring it to […]

You’ll regret that

Hello everyone. Many years ago Rik wrote about the classic artillery game Worms. I recently picked it up on GOG.com and, for once actually sat down to play rather than let it gather virtual dust on the virtual GOG bookshelf. So here are a few comments. I know I’ve not posted much lately, I’m sure […]

This is the season

Hi there! There’s been rather more rushing around and feeling below-par than I might have liked over the past couple of weeks, but anyway, here’s the now-traditional, in under-the-wire, 31 December review: FIFA 07. Season’s greetings to all our visitors and readers. A 2012 round-up is coming soon, along with some more content, as soon […]

Lights, camera, action

Hi there. It’s been a little while – sorry about that. Our review for tonight is The Movies. The length of time it’s taken to get here is probably why you don’t see me in the strategy section all that often. We’re working on…stuff. There may be more soon.

I just ate an entire vat of baked beans, and some uncooked pork

Hello there. Our new review for tonight is Quarantine. In a change to our scheduled programming, it’s not the discussion review we’d planned, but I decided it was worth writing up my own thoughts anyway. We’ll have more content, just as soon as we’re able to bring it to you.

Put the pedal to the metal

Hello there. I can’t remember the last time we had a midweek update. Although the review was actually done and posted on Sunday; it’s just taken me this long to add all the screenies and get around to doing the newspost. [This isn’t a DVD, and this isn’t interesting ‘behind the scenes’ stuff – a […]

Stranger danger

Hi there! In a slightly surprising move, I’ve reviewed an RPG, called Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. It’s a relatively recent title, falling into the category of “budget releases from recent years” rather than being a genuine oldie, but we’ve always included such things anyway. Hope you enjoy it. Next time: Zork.

Alpha 1 is down!

Hello everyone. I finally caved in and bought Skyrim a few weeks back. And have of course been playing obsessively, running jobs for the Thieves Guild, slaying dragons and shouting bandits off clifftops. So not a lot of retro-gaming going on, alas. However I did make myself take a break long enough to play some […]

Long live our noble queen

Hi there. With characteristically poor timing, we have an Olympic-themed update for you. Here’s a review of The Games: Summer Edition from Epyx. And, er, enjoy the closing ceremony (unless, as is likely, it’s happened already by the time you read this).
