Desert Strike Released: 1992 Platform: Sega Megadrive Publisher: Electronic Arts Developer: Electronic Arts Video games sometimes blur the lines between fiction and reality, or at the very least they can take inspiration from the current events of the day.

I reviewed The Story of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum in Pixels Volume 1 a little while ago. You can read what I thought about that book here. Volume 2 continues with the same amount of love for the subject matter, attention to detail and massively high standards set in the first book. Volume 2 is […]

Maybe it’s because they are a niche market or because generally speaking they are aimed at adults rather than a mainstream audience. However the recent clamour for P.T. and the success of The Evil Within should mean that horror games […]
Dynamite Dux Released: 1989 Platform: Sega Master System Publisher: Sega Developer: Sega Sometimes video games are just plain weird.
