DBUTT – Don’t break up the team

Good evening. In between all of this discussion-review tomfoolery, there’s no getting around the fact that new reviews have been thin on the ground of late. Here’s one, though – I take a look at Michel Ancel’s Beyond Good & Evil.

I love Paris, in the fall

Hello. Our series of retrospective discussions continues, as Stoo, Jo and myself take a look back at Broken Sword. We hope you’re enjoying these, and hope to do more, but watch out for some brand-new reviews in the near future.

Bravery is not a function of firepower

Hello all. Because we like playing at features that proper professional gaming magazines and websites do, we’re continuing our series of discussion reviews. The idea is to revisit some of the games we’ve covered in the past 10 years, to celebrate this site lasting that long (hurrah for us). So far we’ve covered an ancient […]

I really should be contributing more like this

Hi all. I’ve not been doing great for generating content this year. Sorry about that! Unlike Rik, I don’t have the excuse of being out of the house doing grownup married stuff. I just ran out of motivation. But to make up for it I have now spent several weeks slaying orcs, and here’s another […]

And I get on my knees and pray

Hi there! It’s been a while, but we’ve got a new review for you this evening. Check out CSI: 3 Dimensions of Murder. We’re going to work on something special now. Maybe not for next time, but over the coming weeks and months, there should be some good stuff coming. Stay tuned.

Hello all. Today I bring you one of the greatest PC RPGs: Planescape Torment. I’m glad this one’s a classic as it marks a minor milestone here: our 200th game covered. For those of you who have read a signficiant number of them, you have our thanks. And hey even if you just flick through […]

Join the Mobile Infantry and save the world. Service guarantees citizenship.

Hi all. Today’s review is Starship Troopers. Which would be the game of the film of the book. It’s kindly provided by guest-reviewer the J-Man. While it’s no longer updated, he still has a lot of quality reviews up at Just Games Retro and we recommend you have a read there. Especially as he’s covered […]

Evidence, back on the case I’m hyped up

[Archive note: this later moved to JGR] Our second review is of something a bit more recent – the TV tie-in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Dark Motives. Hope you enjoy them. […]
