If you’ve ever wanted to get into some video game world building and the likes of Cities: Skylines or the Civilisation series were too complicated for you, or maybe at the other end of the gaming complexity, you found Islanders too simplistic, then Before We Leave could well be the game you are looking for.The […]
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 […]
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.

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 […]
Dovetail Games tempt me back to the waters once again (see my review of The Catch: Carp and Coarse), and after 2 weeks with Bassmaster Fishing 2022 (and almost 1000 fish caught), I can unequivocally say that this is my favourite so far.Of course the basic gameplay is the same: catching fish, but the extra features […]
I’ve currently put almost 35 hours into Slay the Spire and have discovered that I have an affinity for deck-building games. So I was very interested when kindly offered the chance to review The Amazing American Circus.Apart from using cards to “battle”, there are many differences between Spire and Circus, so many in fact that […]
The Atari Collection 1 was my first foray into the marvellous world of the Evercade. Although I found it to be a mixed bag, I’ll always appreciate it because you never forget your first! Anyway, I can’t say I was brimming with excitement to review this collection, but did it exceed my expectations? Let’s find […]
