Hi there, Today’s review takes us back to the Need for Speed series, with 2008’s instalment, Undercover.

Ever since Wing Commander, I’ve maintained a passing interest in game-to film-adaptations, especially if I’ve actually played (and enjoyed) the game or series in question. Some years ago, with the day to myself, I went to see the film version of Max Payne on my own, and though the film wasn’t a total turkey, the […]

So, armed with a new computer, and with a recent Need for Speed review in the bank, I decided to check out some more recent entries in the series.

Frankly, he looks like he spends more time plucking his eyebrows and applying anti-ageing cream than hanging out “on the street”. His “gang”, meanwhile, are vaguely reminiscent of […]

Three new reviews for you this evening, and they’re linked by a theme of automotive mayhem… First up, we have Carmageddon, which caused quite a stir when it was first released – probably something to do with all the blood.
