Happy New Year! Hope you all had a good one. Once again, we narrowly failed to make a final New Year’s Eve update for 2009. So let’s put a positive spin on it – at least we’re in early with our first entry for 2010. And it’s a double update too. I’ve taken a look […]

nynaeve didn’t tug her braid, she’s not in it
Hello all. Just one review today, the shooter Wheel of Time. Hopefully we’ll have another update before christmas!
fights and tights
Hello. We seem to have missed an October update, which I’m sure had retro gamers the world around in a state of loss and despair. But to try and make up for it here are two reviews. One sticks to familiar FFG ground – that is, first person shooters. I’ve had a look at the […]
My way or the highway
If you’re in the UK, The Fast and the Furious will just have been on telly. The fourth film is out on DVD on Monday (er, I didn’t know that, a friend told me). Plus EA have just given their Need for Speed series yet another makeover in the form of SHIFT. It’s almost like […]
Summer’s gone, days spent with the grass and sun
Hello. Just a quick one today – a review of the futuristic racer Trickstyle.
Scaramouche, scaramouche, will you do the fandango?
Hey. It’s been a while. I’d like to pretend I’ve been on holiday, but that would be a lie. Here’s something good for you all – or at least a review of something good, anyway – we’ve finally managed to cover the much-loved Grim Fandango. It’s so good it makes me feel bad about all […]
The original scale miniatures
From something relatively shiny, new and complicated, to something old, ugly and simple: it’s Micro Machines 2.
Something to do with hegemonies
Hi all. Another game at the more recent end our our coverage – Haegemonia: The Legions of Iron. In which big starships rumble around bombing planets and blowing each other to bits. Don’t worry oldskool fans, I’ll go play something in good old VGA next.
Virtual Insanity
This one’s been a while in coming. In fact, I started on this review a couple of days before Good Old Games re-released the game and sparked a modest amount of excitement/revulsion across ‘the internet’. When your host is Lance Boyle, the game’s got to be MegaRace.
It doesn’t matter whether you win by an inch or a mile
Hello! Yes, that’s right: you wait a whole month for a genuine update, then two come along at once. It’s like London buses (or something). Anyway, following hot on the heels of Stoo’s Baldur’s Gate review, here comes something completely unrelated – I’ve taken a look at Rockstar’s racing game Midnight Club II. There’s more […]
