From the Vault: An Interview with Game Designer Charlie Catino
In a previous life, I wrote for a now defunct retail website, Infinity Games (aka IGUK). Their site and my content is sadly long gone and no longer accessible, but […]
Revisiting Assassin’s Creed
I’ve had a quiet week in gaming terms. With an awful lot on my plate in other areas, it was inevitable that something was going to suffer – and, unfortunately, […]
Dreamcast 20th Anniversary: Memories
Today marks the 20th anniversary of the Dreamcast’s launch in Europe – having launched in Japan in late ’98 and in the US on the 9th of September 1999. Being […]
It Came From The Bargain Bin: 22 – Crackdown 2
Version Played: Xbox 360 Current CEX Price: £1.50 Crackdown was a hugely popular game in its day; concerned about its reception when revealed, Microsoft took the unusual step of including […]
It Came From The Bargain Bin: 20 – Hellboy: The Science of Evil
Version Played: Xbox 360 Current CEX Price: £3 I can’t believe I’m on my 20th Bargain Bin article already; I started out covering Wii games before getting hold of some […]
It Came From The Bargain Bin – 18: Timeshift
Version Played: Xbox 360 Current CEX Price: 50p One of my favourite films is the brilliant faux-documentary (mockumentary, if you will) This Is Spinal Tap. It follows a washed up, past their prime rock band on a tour to promote their latest album, seemingly beset by disaster, misfortune and the clashing of egos every step of the way. In one […]
It Came From The Bargain Bin: 14 – Escape from Bug Island!
Version Played: Wii – Current CEX Price: £1.50 I’m a sucker for monster movies with outrageously dramatic titles (just in case the title of this particular series of articles didn’t […]
Dreamcast 20th Anniversary – Three Stories
I’m a little late to the party on this one, considering it was the Dreamcast’s 20th birthday yesterday. Many people took the time yesterday to share memories of their favourite […]
A Trip to the Arcade: Swanage
As my previous arcade article went down so well, I thought I’d follow it up with another – especially as I ventured further out than Bournemouth at the weekend, ending […]
It Came From The Bargain Bin – 8: Rise of the Argonauts
Version Played: Xbox 360Current CEX Price: £1.50 Right from the beginning of Rise of the Argonauts, it’s clear that the developers at Liquid Games took quite a bit of inspiration […]
It Came From The Bargain Bin – 2: Fairytale Fights
Format Played: Xbox 360 Current CEX Price: £2.50 Yesterday, I covered entertainingly bonkers, Vin Diesel-starring, open-world GTA-wannabe The Wheelman. My conclusion? Definitely worth a try at the current price. Given […]
It Came From The Bargain Bin – 1: The Wheelman
Format played: Xbox 360 Current CEX Price: £1 I’m not going to lie – despite reaching my 100 consecutive daily article goal yesterday, it’s been a bit weird to consider […]
Mission Impossible: III (2006)
JJ Abrams wasn’t exactly an unknown quantity when MI:III was made, but he was far from the Hollywood behemoth he is today, love him or hate him (his output can be quite divisive, to say the least – though MI: III was actually his debut movie as director). He had been churning out super-spy TV show Alias for a number […]
Film Review: WALL-E (2008)
Though there’s a lot of humour wrung from the premise, there’s an undeniably horrifying glimpse at an all-too likely future for our planet in WALL-E. The humour, though, comes from our look at the day to day adventures of the world’s last functioning cleaner robot, part of a workforce that was created generations ago to refresh our planet – which […]
TMNT: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – 35th Anniversary
Who knew that four anthropomorphic reptiles – named after renaissance artists – with a penchant for ass-kicking would turn out to be such enduring icons? Yet here we are, on […]
Mission Impossible 2 (2000)
Given the huge success of the first Mission Impossible film, it’s perhaps quite a surprise that it took so long for a sequel to appear – four years is quite the gap in Hollywood Sequel years. However, Tom Cruise has always been a star who’s massively in demand and, with him also pulling double duty as the co-producer of the […]
