  • Hydro Thunder Hurricane - Review
    In the mid to late 90s, Sega and Midway ruled the arcades. They had a knack of producing loud, brassy and amazingly playable games with some absolutely amazing cabinets wrapped round them. Power Drift, LA Rush, Afterburner and Outrun were obvious favourites but I don’t recall ever seeing Hydro Thunder in any of the local neon palaces I used to frequent. Hydro Thunder...

  • Limbo - Review
    Have you ever stood in the middle of a deserted forest and heard the noises it makes? The strange rushing sound of the air in your ears, the creaks and cracks of trees settling in the heat and cold of the day, and the various mysterious little rustles and squeaks from hidden wildlife as it goes about its daily business. Play Dead Studios kick off their utterly fantastic...

  • Final Fight Double Impact - Review
    Imagine for a second that you live in some sort of a weird alternate universe where your local Mayor is a psyched-up musclebound martial arts expert prone to taking the law into his own hands when his nearest and dearest are put in danger. Without videogames we’d never be put in such ridiculous circumstances, so hooray for Final Fight Double Impact and its absolutely...

  • Perfect Dark (XBLA) - Review
    Nostalgia is a tricky beast. In the world of videogames, it can feel like gamers constantly wear stylish pairs of rose-tinted spectacles when eulogising about classic retro titles. For instance, I’ve never fully understood the amount of love and respect that Bond-themed N64 FPS Goldeneye received back in the day, and continues to receive now. For a single-platform gamer,...

  • Scrap Metal - Review
    Top-down racers seem to be enjoying something of a revival on portable platforms at the moment but it’s been a while since someone’s done the whole thing justice on big and proper consoles. The delicious Mashed and Mashed: Fully Loaded on PS2 and Xbox 1 showed that this particular type of racer still has acres of life left in it, and so it’s good to see a developer...
