Retro Review: Aladdin
Aladdin Released: 1993 Platform: Megadrive Publisher: Virgin Interactive Developer: Virgin Interactive / Disney Interactive Studios Robin Williams was a genius! There is simply no other way to describe a man of such immense talent. I think it’s only through his tragic untimely death that we fully appreciate what an amazing actor, comedian and performer he […]
Retro Review: Super Star Wars
Super Star Wars Released: 1993 Platform: Super Nintendo Publisher: JVC/Nintendo Developer: Sculptured Software/Lucas Arts Star Wars is an incredibly important movie series for me. I must have seen A New Hope over a hundred times in my life and that film shall always remain in my top ten movies of all time. I recall my […]
Retro Review: Sunset Riders
Sunset Riders Released: 1993 Platform: Super Nintendo Publisher: Konami Developer: Konami There aren’t many games set in the Wild West that are generally that well regarded. Certainly Red Dead Redemption would usually be considered the best of the bunch however, I also think Sunset Riders should be mentioned as one of the better cowboy games. […]
Retro Review: Dick Tracy
Dick Tracy Released: 1991 Platform: Sega Megadrive Publisher: Sega Developer: Sega I remember seeing Dick Tracy at the cinema when I was younger. I didn’t really know who Warren Beatty or Al Pacino was as I was probably about 14 years old, but what I do remember is that Dick Tracy was one of the […]
Review: Never Alone
Video-games are often accused of a lot of things. They are too violent, sexist, misogynistic and in some cases just plain stupid. Now don’t get me wrong, I enjoy shooting people in the face as much as the next guy, and there’s something entertainingly wrong about picking up a prostitute in Grand Theft Auto, having […]

Only a madman would take on this mission… Lucky they found me! So begins ‘U.N. Squadron‘ with another brilliant SNES intro showing a pilot taking off in a […]
Retro Review: Alien 3
I love retro gaming! The only problem with retro gaming is that sometimes my memory plays tricks on me and I remember a game being better than it actually is. So the point of these retro reviews is to go back and play games from the past and have a fresh look at them. Do […]

Review: Lollipop Chainsaw
PS3 & Xbox 360: Lollipop Chainsaw Some time ago ‘Lollipop Chainsaw‘ was mentioned on Twitter and the general consensus was this game sucks! It demeans women, it’s horrible and should be burnt at the stake. As a result I felt the need to wade in and explain why I feel that this game comes in […]
Review: The Order 1886
PS4: The Order 1886 A lot has been said about ‘The Order 1886‘ prior to its release and a lot of it has been fairly negative. How long does it take to complete? Is it value for money? Is the gameplay too simplistic or as my old granny used to say, is it a case […]
