Hi all. The nights are drawing in again, meaning we’re reaching the half of the year when you don’t have to feel so guilty about sitting in a dark room playing videogames again. Also with the credit crunch biting, what better time to enjoy the kind of game you can grab for $10 on Steam […]

Chariots of fire
This was meant to be a topical, Olympic-themed update, but somehow it didn’t happen that way. Anyway, if you’re a fan of the controller-bashing track and field games of old (or even if you aren’t) you might like tonight’s update – a review of The Games: Summer Challenge. More soon…
Guybrush and Indy
Hi all. We have a double helping of Lucasarts adventure goodness tonite! First up, Jo has reviewed Escape from Monkey Island for us. Meanwhile scooting back a few years earlier, I’ve looked at the classic Indy adventure Fate of Atlantis.
Then it fell apart, like it always does
We’ve got something new for you this evening. It’s a review of XIII, the amnesiac spy shooter from 2003. That’s right, I said 2003. That’s five years ago. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. Next week – a review of Zork. And Pacman.
Don’t see lights a flashin’, plays by sense of smell
Hello. No summer holidays for us, we’re staying inside with the curtains drawn, all in the name of retro-gaming. We’ve added one new review – of Codemasters’ Psycho Pinball.
London calling to the imitation zone
Wow, it’s a double-whammy of updates. I guess if we’d have been better organised we could have rolled it into one, but hey, it’s sort of more exciting this way. Anyway, we have one new review for you this evening, and the game in question is the cheerfully chaotic city-based racer Midtown Madness 2.
Review: Red Faction
Hi all. We have a guest item today, so a great big thankyou goes to the J-Man of Just Games Retro. He’s donated us his review on the 2001 shooter, Red Faction. What’s more he’s done a quality in-depth asssessment where I’d probably just write “Kind of dull, you can blow walls up, 5/10”. So […]
Review: No One Lives Forever
No, you’re not dreaming, we have another update for you – the spy-shooter No One Lives Forever. Once again, apologies for the lack of content recently. It’s a relief to finally knock that newspost which makes reference to ‘January blues’ off the bottom of the page. For shame! Fingers crossed, we should be looking good […]
Review: All New World Of Lemmings
Hi all. Two months without an update is pretty shameful! The good news is, our review machine lumbers back into action today. You probably remember DMA’s classic Lemmings – I’ve taken a look at a less well-known member of the family from a few years later: All New World of Lemmings. More content soon, including […]
Review: Simon the Sorcerer II, Carmageddon II
Two new reviews for you today. Sometime contributor Jo has been adventuring away again, and she’s come up with a review of Simon the Sorcerer II: The Lion, The Wizard and the Wardrobe. Go on, give it a read. Meanwhile, I’ve taken a look at Carmageddon II: Carpocalypse Now.
