I love the intro to X-Wing: I liked the game, but I got quite badly stuck early on and gave up. It seemed a lot harder than TIE Fighter, which I managed to finish without too many problems. I thought I might go back to this one at some stage, but that probably it isn’t […]

There’s been a countdown on the GOG homepage for a little while now promising a big and exciting announcement soon. It transpires that they’ve signed a deal with Activision, which doesn’t immediately make me think of any game in particular that I’d like to see on GOG soon. However, as part of the announcement, the […]

Which is just fantastic value for money – there’s hours of engaging adventure gaming there. If anyone wants me i’ll be off playing the Dig.
