I enjoy side-scrolling beat-‘em ups, and I don’t expect deep gameplay, but there are lots of things wrong with Wrath of the Mutants that make it hard to enjoy.
I have a soft spot for 8-bit and 16-bit racing games having grown up with the likes of Chase HQ, the Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge series, Jaguar XJ220, and of course, this list wouldn’t be complete without the classic Outrun from Sega. I wasn’t necessarily familiar with the Top Racer series until I started to […]
It’s hard to believe that Brothers – A Tale of Two Sons was originally released in August 2013 as part of the Xbox Summer of Arcade promotion. Just to take you back in time for a moment, the other games that were also available included: Charlie Murder, Flashback, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of […]
A book that celebrates the worst of the worst most hellish games ever released on the ZX Spectrum sounds like my idea of heaven and having just read the final page of the excellent ZX Nightmares by Graeme Mason, I felt compelled to write my own review, so here it is.ZX Nightmares first caught my […]

I enjoy side-scrolling shoot ’em ups, or shmups as they are often referred to, as they remind me of a more innocent time when I played a lot of them in arcades or on my home computer. I’ve reviewed a few of my favourites including U.N. Squadron and Apidya to name a couple.If you’ve played […]
Even if you’re a casual gamer, chances are you’ve played a game developed or published by Taito. The quality and depth of their catalogue is extremely impressive featuring titles such as Space Invaders, Arkanoid, Bubble Bobble, Renegade, Double Dragon, Operation Wolf, Rainbow Islands, Chase H.Q, and The New Zealand Story to name a few.
