The Order 1886 Revisited2015 seems like an awfully long time ago. In my own life I was on the cusp of turning 40, only had one child and started writing for 60MW, or 60 Minutes With as it was known back then. The 60MW website was brand spanking new and in need of new content. […]
When I was a lad (queue whimsical sentimental music) playing couch co-op/competitive videogames was part of daily life. I spent many hours laughing with or cursing at my friends playing classic games such as Speedball 2, Streets of Rage 2, Street Fighter 2 or Kick Off 2. I’ve just noticed there are a lot of […]
The Suicide of Rachel Foster is one of those games where the less you know about the story the better, so I will do my best to keep details to a minimum. You play as Nicole Wilson. Her mother has just died and the hotel she grew up in must be checked before it is […]
DVD & Blu-ray: Junior (1993)Dr. Alex Hesse (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and his partner Dr. Larry Arbogast (Danny Devito) create a fertility drug called Expectane, which is designed to reduce the chances of miscarriage during pregnancy. Although they’ve tested the drug on animals and it appears to work, the Food and Drug Administration, (as well as the […]
We’ve been quite lucky with racing games in 2020. First off there was the release of the awesome Hotshot Racing, and now we are treated to the excellent Art of Rally.

The fighting genre has been one of the cornerstones of videogames, and remains hugely popular to this day. Even though it was over 30 years ago, I still remember being enthralled by the likes of Way of the Exploding Fist, Yie Ar Kung Fu, and Barbarian. Don’t get me wrong, I loved beat-em ups like […]
DVD: Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet The Wolfman (2000)I originally reviewed Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet The Wolfman in March 2019, when it was released as a double bill alongside Alvin and the Chipmunks meet Frankenstein. To be honest, my opinion hasn’t really changed much from last year. The one big difference is my daughter […]
Blending genres in video games is a really tricky thing to pull off. Add too many different types of gameplay and you end up being a jack of all trades and master of none. But do it just right, and you can create a really compelling game like Lair of the Clockwork God, which mixes […]
2020 has been an incredible year for gamers of a certain vintage. Firstly, we had the amazing Streets of Rage 4 which was the ultimate tribute fans of the series (including me) had been waiting for. Just when I thought things couldn’t get any better, along comes a love letter to Sega arcade racing games […]
Every now and then you play a game and realise you’ve just experienced something totally unique. As a gamer of nearly 40 years, this doesn’t happen very often so when it does, you have to savour the moment. I had one of those moments playing BPM: Bullets Per Minutes, so let me tell you why. […]
