Hello there.

One new review for you today - I've taken a look at Uplink.

Pedants beware: I haven't shortened the name, it's only known as Uplink: Hacker Elite in the US. We don't need any of your fancy subtitles over here, no sir.

Happy New Year! Hope you all had a good one.

Once again, we narrowly failed to make a final New Year's Eve update for 2009. So let's put a positive spin on it - at least we're in early with our first entry for 2010.

And it's a double update too. I've taken a look at The Mystery of the Druids, a relatively modern point-and-click adventure, while Stoo's been bashing away at the PC version of hack-and-slash classic, Golden Axe.

Hello. We seem to have missed an October update, which I'm sure had retro gamers the world around in a state of loss and despair. But to try and make up for it here are two reviews.

One sticks to familiar FFG ground - that is, first person shooters. I've had a look at the Doom-powered Heretic, featuring a fantasy setting and magic fireballs.

On the other hand Rik has ventured onto new ground - fighting games. It's new to us cos, frankly, there wasn't a lot out there that wasn't a console port. And while we might review the odd such port, there's a limit to how many times we want to end with "better on the Megadrive". But for a rare PC-native title, take a look at One Must Fall 2097.

If you're in the UK, The Fast and the Furious will just have been on telly. The fourth film is out on DVD on Monday (er, I didn't know that, a friend told me).

Plus EA have just given their Need for Speed series yet another makeover in the form of SHIFT.

It's almost like we planned our review of Need for Speed: Underground, with exquisite timing, for this very moment. But you know us better than that.
