Whenever you sort a digital game library by hours played, it throws up a few surprises. For example, there are some games I swear I’ve played way longer than is registered (have I only spent that much time with Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, having played through it multiple times?); then there’s the opposite, with one of the Arma games showing […]
Version Played: Xbox One, via Game Pass (Also available on PS4, Switch and PC) The Contra series was absolutely huge in the 80s and 90s. Across arcade as well as […]
Out now on Switch (£20.29/$24.99) I’m not sure what I expected when I played Goonya Fighter for the first time; going in blind, except for seeing screenshots, I had no […]
Version Played: Xbox 360 – Current CEX Price: £1 There’s a really fine line to be walked with satire and parody, particularly when you’re aping the very conventions of whatever […]
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 […]

I haven’t got far enough in Clustertruck to give it a full review, but I’ve played it enough to tell you that it’s really, really good. A surreal variation on […]
Available from Amazon – current price: £20.99 My favourite console of all time is the SNES. I don’t think it’s even close; there’s something about that era of 2D gaming […]
Escape rooms are a big thing at the moment; I wrote yesterday about how warehouse-sized spaces were – still sometimes are – used for large scale laser tag games, but […]
Version Played: Wii Current CEX Price: £2 The late 90s/early 00s was a time when arcades still felt like they had new experiences to offer that you couldn’t replicate at home, or at least not to the same effect. Sega was releasing some absolutely wonderful games; though some received home conversions – and ports like Crazy Taxi for Dreamcast went […]
Mr Blaster – Out now on Switch ($1.99/£1.79) – Published by Forever Entertainment I first encountered the turn-based chaos of Worms way back in the mid-90s on the PlayStation and […]
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 […]
