“Hands up if you remember when ‘arcade-perfect’ meant something.
If you remember running home with a copy of Your Sinclair, Zzap64 or Amstrad Action from your newsagents each month, ready to pour over the month’s news about the latest arcade conversions, it’s pretty amazing to think how far we’ve come. After all, not only do we […]

“First things first: some of us still have normal-person televisions. Catan is yet another game that completely ignores the fact that some people will need to play it on SDTV. Much of the text is tiny. Worse, it’s tiny for no particular reason at all. Double-worse, it’s actually pretty tiny on an HDTV, too.
This is […]

“I don’t doubt that Suzak tried to make yet another innovative instalment in the Wario franchise, with their stressful demands for constant touch screen use - but the sad fact is that there isn’t a single spark of imagination or joy in this entire game. Despite some obvious effort, Wario: Master of Disguise is just […]

“At E3 this year I got to try out the demo of Elebits. At the end, I turned around to hand the controller to the next person in line (who happened to be GoldenEye designer Martin Hollis, but that’s neither here nor there), who asked me what I thought of it. “It’s alright,” I said, […]

“The critical requirements of a Monster Rancher title, that monster-raising be streamlined and rewarding, and the RPG sections be challenging and playable, are miserably out of reach for Monster Rancher EVO, with almost every part of the title a confusing, tedious mess that should make the average player ill with boredom. Much like a circus, […]

Ah yes, E3 2006. A trip down to sunny LA to do nowt but play video games and hoover up free booze at lavish parties sounds like a fantastic deal, but actually, it’s beyond horrible. I say that, of course, because I was stuck in the claustrophobic, sweaty, overcrowded Wii booth for almost my entire […]

“Apart from the camera, WinBack 2: Project Poseidon is consistently entertaining, with the combat mechanics and movement smooth and satisfying, but in general it’s also rather lacklustre, full of flaws that are too glaring to ignore when considering a recommendation. Some aspects are incredibly polished and fun, but others are terrifically broken, and while there’s […]

“Who’d want to be a farmer? Foot and Mouth, Mad Cow, Bird Flu - these are only some of the epidemics that threaten them. Crop farmers aren’t exempt from suffering either, as supermarkets demand the best quality produce at the lowest cost, while consumers bitch about pesticides and genetically engineered food.
Plus, farmers are always incredibly […]

“Pokemon Link is a truly pleasant surprise - a Pokemon puzzle game that’s not only a competent puzzle game, in which the theme doesn’t obscure that fact. Though it does have a distressingly small number of modes, the core adventure mode can be as fun in quick bursts as Zoo Keeper or Meteos, and the […]
