Good evening.

One new review tonight - a welcome addition to our sports section in the form of FIFA Soccer Manager.

Well, I say welcome...as much as you can welcome something you've not played for 11 years because it really, really upset you.

In the bleak midwinter

Howdy.

While the real Winter Olympics are taking place, we're glumly ignoring real-life athletic achievements in favour of attempting to replicate them by hammering a few buttons on our PC keyboard.

So here's a review of Winter Challenge for you.

Hi there. I'm trying to keep to a more regular update schedule this year, so here's the rather great Deus Ex: Invisible War.

As mentioned in the review don't worry about a flood of mid-2000s games - we're just easing into 2004 with a review of a sequel to a classic. I'll go play something from the early 90s next, honest.

Hello there.

One new review for you today, a whimsical head-scratcher by the name of Soldier of Fortune.

Stay tuned for more, soon.

Hi all. You may have already heard that fellow oldies-reviewing site Just Games Retro has ceased updating and will soon be closing its doors. We'll be sorry to see them go, as we found their reviews to be both entertaining and informative.

Most of their content will be transferred to Mobygames, however the J Man has graciously donated us a review, so take a look at Star Trek: Captain's Chair.
