Hi there. Nice to be back with you again. Sorry it’s been a while. Today’s game is Mafia, a 1930s organised crime caper from Illusion Softworks.

Hi there. Depending on how generous you want to be, we’re either a week or a month late with this one. If you’re English, the post-Euros hangover will be over by now, at least. Personally, I made my headache slightly worse by returning to Actua Soccer and playing its first sequel: Euro 96. And, don’t […]

Hello! Right… how to make this update vaguely topical…? As you know, we’ve just had an election here in the UK. [Leans into microphone] I tell you what, I’ve not seen such a unanimously negative verdict since Daikatana was released! Will that do? Does that, er, you know, work? Hello?

Hi there. Today’s game is our first Tomb Raider review. (Not a review of the first Tomb Raider, though: that would be far too logical). Here’s a look at Tomb Raider: Legend, from Crystal Dynamics.

Hi there. If reviews have been in short supply recently, even by our standards, then underestimating the size of the task before me when I took on today’s game is probably one of the reasons why. Still, we got there in the end, and a pretty good time was had along the way. Here’s our review […]

Hi there. It’s been a little while since we brought you a review of an old game, so here’s an EGA football title from the late 1980s: Microprose Soccer. I’m duty-bound to also remind you that like all old footy titles we discuss here, this one goes into the FFG Football League, which now has […]

Bloody Hell! It’s 2024! (Apologies for not wishing you all a good Christmas, as promised – the site went down for a little bit, then we obviously got distracted by the festive preparations.) Anyway, we’re back with what might be considered the third part of a trilogy entitled ‘racing games released about 12 years ago […]

Hi there. Today’s review is of the action-packed racer Split/Second: Velocity. Will there be anything more before Christmas? Oh-ho, will there? Will there now?! WILL THERE EVER! [But will there actually be any more reviews or blog posts, though? – a reader] Er, not sure. If not, we’ll be sure to pop back anyway, and […]

Good morning. It’s the Cricket World Cup at the moment, a tournament which began with England attempting to retain the trophy as holders. In preparing this review, I was planning to write something about how they’re actually quite good these days, and contrast that with the embarrassments of the past. But, no, they’re out already. […]

Hi all. Apologies for the short period of radio silence. Today we’re back, though, with what – if our calculations are correct (which they may well not be) – will be our 400th review. As such, we figured that we’d better go for a vaguely notable title rather than some long-forgotten cricket game. So here’s […]
