Hello there. Today’s game is relatively recent by our standards, but is also no longer commercially available and from a developer that is now defunct. All of which is a shame, because it’s an absolute corker. (I could make a joke here about always preferring Oasis or Pulp, which I sort of am doing anyway, […]

Review: World Cup 98
Hi there. Believe it or not, this review was all set to go live at a suitably relevant point last week, but, as regular readers may have noticed, we had a few technical hiccups to sort out. Anyway, the big international footy thing was in the winter this year, for all kinds of dubious reasons. […]
Review: X-Wing
Hello. With a modern tale of an expensive investment quickly destroyed due to a fundamental weakness unfolding as we speak, how about we go back a long time, to a galaxy far, far away (again) and try and blow up the Death Star? It’ll take some doing, though. For me, it’s taken 28 years. Yes, […]

Review: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
Hi there. Once hyped as an exciting new chapter of the Star Wars canon, with input from the grand high beard himself, now officially relegated to ‘never happened, sorry’, today’s game is Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. (Not to dazzle you with thrilling ‘behind the curtain’ insight, but I had a more old school title, […]
Review: Manic Karts
Hi there. We’ve got some 90s karting action for you today, plus a bonus feature on its slightly nightmarish music. The game is called Manic Karts. [What did we talk about with these intros, Rik? – Ed.] Ah, ok. Also – how are you? Did you have a good summer? September already, huh? What about […]
Review: Gemini Rue
Hi there. We’re heading to the newer end of our normal reviewing territory today (so about 10-ish years ago), although there are plenty of echoes of older games here, in Wadjet Eye’s sci-fi adventure, Gemini Rue.
Review: MegaRace 2
Happy Friday everyone. For some reason, I decided it was time to play MegaRace 2. As is customary, here follows a summary of my thoughts.
Review: Jurassic Park: The Game
Hi all. There’s a new Jurassic Park film out at the moment (or are these new ones technically Jurassic World films?) After re-watching the old movies I was in the mood to give Telltale’s 2011 game a go too. So, that’s today’s review. [We really must have a meeting about these review intros – Ed.]
Review: Screamer 2
Happy Friday everyone, hope you’re all doing well. Today’s review is the 1996 racing sequel Screamer 2.
