Review: Roundguard
When Peggle arrived way back in 2007, it was an absolute sensation. Despite only appearing on the PC initially, PopCap’s pachinko-esque title – with pinball style lights and sounds – […]
Review: Pinball FX 3 – Universal Monsters Pack DLC
I’ve been a massive fan of Zen Studios’ Pinball FX series ever since it debuted in 2007 on the Xbox 360. Since then, the sequels – Pinball FX 2 and 3 – have had the feel of true pinball platforms, rather than just a small collection of individual, digital tables.

Games of My Life: Creature from the Black Lagoon (Pinball)
I spent endless hot, summer days in darkness in the early 90s. Darkness lit with colourful neon and ultraviolet light.
