Available Now on Switch – £22.49 – Developed by: Megapixel Studio SA – Published by: Forever Entertainment The original Panzer Dragoon was a launch title (in the West, at least) for the Saturn, Sega’s ultimately ill-fated 32-bit console. It was lauded upon release for it’s impressive presentation, with some very impressive (for the time) pre-rendered cinematic sequences and fast-paced on-rails […]
It was the early 90s when I saw my first animé – thanks to the BBC. Akira was broadcast on BBC2 and absolutely blew my mind. Animation in the West […]
Seeing as MAR 10 is Mario Day, I thought I’d take the opportunity to once more cover my experience with the very first Super Mario Bros game I ever played […]
Back in April 2019, the first Sonic the Hedgehog trailer was released. It’s fair to say that it was poorly received; it looked visually flat, had Gangsta’s Paradise as aural […]
I’m a bit weird when it comes to music. I struggle with most songs that have lyrics, mostly because I find them so hard to ‘hear’ unless I know what’s […]
My dinosaur obsession – or, perhaps more specifically, my dinosaur theme park obsession, thanks to Jurassic World: Evolution – has spilled over from the TV screen to the tabletop, with two player board game Duelosaur Island being the latest way I’ve discovered to scratch that very particular itch. The little brother of critical and commercial darling, Dinosaur Island – a […]
First things first: I hate that stupid title. It’s incredibly appropriate that the first time we see Jeff Goldblum’s character Dr. Ian Malcolm – the mathematician/chaos theorist who was so […]
I blame Jurassic World: Evolution. I’ve been immersing myself in the creation of dinosaurs and the running of multiple theme parks for weeks on end, which has led to me […]
I realise that I’m very late to the party with this one but – having spent most of 2019 covering indie and retro games – I’ve realised that I hadn’t […]
Much like Paul Davies, the author of Florin’s ZX Spectrum Haul of Games, I grew up in the 80s. Also like Paul Davies, I have limited recollection of ‘important’ experiences […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
It’s hard to articulate the effect that Jurassic Park – the film – had on cinema when it arrived in 1993. Though CGI special effects had been utilised in a number of prior films – most notably in The Abyss, with its amazing sentient water ‘creature’ in 1989, then another James Cameron film in 1991: Terminator 2, with what were, […]
I sometimes write about games from my past, with a bit of background on myself and what these games have meant to me at different times in my life. The […]
It’s been well documented both on my blog and elsewhere on the interwebs – usually on Twitter – that the first console I could ever call my own was the […]
