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 […]
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 […]
Pre-order: £6 Digital/£10 Physical Having celebrated its 20th anniversary last year, Sega’s final (so far, at least!) console has been much discussed online, with many people sharing their memories of the beautiful machine – myself included. The Dreamcast was way ahead of its time and burned out far too quickly, but still occupies a special place in the hearts of […]
Though my parents had owned consoles – mostly Pong clone machines and, in the late 80s, an Atari 2600 – I’d never had one that I could truly call my […]
It’s hard to believe now, given the current shape of the console landscape, but Sony was once seen as an underdog in an industry dominated by Nintendo and Sega. It’s […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
This weekend, I made an effort to go and see an old friend. An old friend who, unfortunately, is a shadow of their former self. The arcade. I went to […]
Demolition Crew – Out Now on Nintendo Switch ($2.00/£2.00) – by xirBX Though the developer was aiming to evoke the NES with Demolition Crew, it has a bold and bright […]
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 […]
So another birthday is drawing to a close. This one was my 42nd. It doesn’t even seem possible. When you’re a kid – even when you’re a teenager – being […]
I’ve discovered a new pastime: combing through the Wii section of second hand game shops for the cheapest titles I can find – in the hope that I can find hidden gems among the shovelware. I’ve found some games for £1-£2 that have been surprisingly good; excellent, even. Even when they aren’t, there’s usually enough of interest to justify playing […]
1993 was an amazing year for me. Halfway through the year, I turned 16; shortly before that, I did work experience – a two week stint as a dogsbody in […]
I spent the best part of 1989 and 1990 being absolutely obsessed with the second Wonder Boy game, Wonder Boy in Monster Land. I’d played it on one of my […]
