After being pleasantly surprised with Lawn Mowing Simulator (review here), I was very much looking forward to jumping back onto my favourite mower for the new Ancient Britain DLC.There are no new huge additions to the gameplay; no Battle Royale mode where you’re mowing an ever decreasing garden space against other mowers, or no ‘capture […]
Set 10 years after the 1994 game ‘Beneath a Steel Sky’, you are once again placed into the shoes of Robert Foster and have to revisit Union City to try and track down some children after a mysterious machine kidnaps them.A huge graphical upgrade from its predecessor (no surprise there after an almost 30 year […]
In my recent review of Gynoug I said despite playing many videogames over the past 40 years, I haven’t played everything that has ever been released. So, I look forward to playing something retro that I’ve never played before. So, like buses, along come Cotton 100% and Panorama Cotton for me to check out.Before I […]
Blu-ray: My Stepmother is an Alien (1988)Widowed astronomer Steve Mills (Dan Aykroyd) pushes the limits of a work experiment too far (way too far), with the unexpected result being a race of highly advanced aliens sending one of their own down to Earth to investigate what has caused the sudden cosmic disruption.Watching television transmissions to […]
Blu-ray: Mae West in Hollywood (1932-43)I’m betting that the words “Come up and see me sometime” was the first thing that went through your mind when you saw the title of this review, and to be honest with you, that would have been the same for me too before sitting down with this limited edition blu-ray […]
As many of our listeners/readers will know, videogames have been part of my life for around 40 years. As I’m sure you can imagine I’ve played my fair share in that time, but I always look forward to trying something “retro” which I haven’t played before. This brings me onto Gynoug (AKA Wings of Wor) […]
Blu-ray: The Last Matinee (2020)Set in 1993 (so no get outs of using a mobile phone to call for help), this homage to slasher/giallo movies of the past has a handful of characters trapped in a large movie theatre as a killer moves around unnoticed (at least for a little while), picking them off one […]
Blu-ray: The Last Broadcast (1998)Before The Blair Witch Project took the “found footage” genre into the mainstream, there was The Last Broadcast; shot on consumer level video equipment, with a budget that wouldn’t cover the cost of 1 days catering on a mainstream movie.Looking like a low budget television documentary (bordering on ‘mockumentary’) about the […]
Earlier this year I had a chance to play Formula Retro Racing at EGX. As you can read from the preview, my eyes were instantly drawn to the graphical style which closely resembled Sega’s Virtua Racing. As the game has just been released on PlayStation, I now have a chance to take a longer look […]
I wrote a preview to Super Arcade Football all the way back in 2016, when I managed to play it at EGX. I said, “the beauty of the game is that it is simple to pick up and play!” Now I have the chance to play the game on Nintendo Switch, which leads me to […]
