Hello there. Surprise, surprise, we have another review for you tonight. Yes, I know, this is unprecedented (and unlikely to be repeated). If FFG was a big rock band from the 90s with significant chart appeal (which it isn’t) then this would be like us releasing a sixth single from the album that came out […]

Hello there. Completing an unprecedented burst of activity on the site (by our standards) during February, we have a review of the adventure game Guilty. Barring any more long holidays, extended periods of sickness, or unexpectedly becoming unemployed, we’ll be back to our usual rate from this point on.

Hello! Tonight we have part two of Rik’s holiday review bonanza (well, perhaps that’s overselling it slightly). Anyway, here are a few words about Tyrian. There’s some more to come, at a future date to be determined by management and shareholders.

Hi all. I’ve been on holiday. I had a good rest, thank you – thanks for asking. Due to the wonders of modern technology I was able to indulge in some retro gaming (and writing) while I was away. So there are a few bits and pieces waiting to be tidied up and finished and […]

Hello everyone. I don’t do reviews so much these days, but have been feeling steadily more ashamed as Rik continues to churn out articles like a pro. So here’s one humble effort – mid 2000s shooter Quake IV. I have something else in the works, of a much earlier generation, for you grizzled early-90s veterans […]

Hi there! Wow, two updates in a week. Well, if our discussion of hack and slash RPGs wasn’t for you, how does this review of a really old cricket game grab you? *chorus of boos* It would have arrived sooner, if the recent Ashes series hadn’t been such an unmitigated tale of woe – but […]

Evening, all! It’s time for another discussion piece. We aim to do something a little different each time, and certainly we’ve not got much coverage of Japanese RPGs on this site in general. So today we’re looking exactly at just that sort of game, with Ys: The Oath in Felghana.

Hi there! Hope you all had a good Christmas. Our final review for the year is Corruption, which gives the site a couple of firsts. It’s our first review of a text adventure, and also the first time my stated intention to review a text adventure wasn’t just a glib throwaway line at the end […]

Hi there! Tonight we take a look at Test Drive Unlimited, a fact that makes us feel quite old, because we can actually remember writing about it as something new and exciting at various points a few years ago. Still, when you put the depressing march of time to one side, it’s good to be […]

Hello there. Tonight’s review is of FlatOut 2 from Bugbear. Spoiler: we quite liked it. If you want more by way of an introduction, here’s a nice picture, in which your reviewer considers exchanging his ‘Sparrowhawk’ for a ‘Road King’: Now if that kind of talk doesn’t get you going, I don’t know what will.
