Hi there. While acknowledging that even the vaguest notions of topicality in these parts are by now long gone, it’s only just over a month since the last Olympics finished, so we’re only a little bit late with this review. (Or, alternatively, we’re about 34 months early for the next one, however you want to […]

Review: The Need for Speed / Need for Speed II: Special Edition
Hi there. It’s a twin-helping of 90s racing action for you today, all in the name of the site’s 20th anniversary. For the retrospective, we’re going back for another look at The Need for Speed, which we first reviewed here long ago. And for the new piece, we finally get around to producing a write-up […]
Review: Mass Effect 3
Hello! Apologies for the somewhat sporadic content in recent months, even by our standards. However, a return to our usual pattern of semi-regular updates should follow. Despite this review coming a little later than planned, I’m pleased to confirm that we can round off our coverage of the Mass Effect trilogy with this write-up of […]
Review: TOCA Touring Car Championship / Race Driver: GRID
Hi there. We have another anniversary double-bill for you today. First, there’s a retrospective look at TOCA Touring Car Championship, released in 1997 and first covered here in 2004. Followed by a review of the comparatively modern Race Driver: GRID from 2008. We try not to over-promise here, but there are tentative-to-firm plans for more […]
Review: Lost: Via Domus
Hello! Are we almost at the end? Let’s hope so. I’ll buy you a beer, when it’s all over. Anyway, one of the things I did to pass my time in recent months was to watch a TV show about characters being cut off from society, friends and family and forced by a dangerous present […]
Review: Mass Effect 2
Hi there. Hope you’re doing well. In an uncharacteristically logical move, today’s review is of a sequel to another game that we covered recently. Yes, that’s right – we’re reviewing games from a series in order, and without a delay of several years between write-ups. It’ll never last. (Also I think this marks the first […]
Review: Sin / Sin Episodes: Emergence
Hello! This site is now as old as we were when we started it. While we go have a lie down and think about that for a while, here’s the first bit of 20th anniversary content for you. The idea is we head back to revisit some of the games covered in our oldest write-ups, […]
Review: The F.A. Premier League STARS 2001
Hello there. It’s another delve into the murky world of football games past in today’s review. A close relation of an item consigned to the Vault of Regret, this time we’re giving the 2001 follow-up the full treatment: it’s The F.A. Premier League STARS 2001. This review also means there is movement, intrigue and drama […]
Review: Mass Effect
Hello all. Hope things for you are as good as they can be at the moment. I think the background to this one is covered enough in the review and the accompanying piece (and possibly here, too) to negate the need for any preamble, so let’s get straight into it. Here’s a review of Mass […]
Review: Need for Speed: SHIFT
Hi everyone. Hope 2021 is treating you well. I can’t complain too much, but I’m finding it quite hard work so far. Having said that, January’s always a bit difficult, isn’t it? Even if things are normal. Which they’re not. Anyway, the rusty old reviewing machine (as I’ve taken to calling myself) cranks back into […]
