Discussion: Emily Is Away (spoilers!)

Hello! This is Discussion: [indie game] (spoilers!) – a series which, like Ronseal quick-drying woodstain, does what it says on the tin. [What tin, you say? What’s Ronseal, you say? Never mind! Let’s move on.] Today’s game is Emily Is Away, a 2015 interactive novel by Kyle Seeley. During which, you are whisked back to […]

Review: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

Hi there. Once hyped as an exciting new chapter of the Star Wars canon, with input from the grand high beard himself, now officially relegated to ‘never happened, sorry’, today’s game is Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. (Not to dazzle you with thrilling ‘behind the curtain’ insight, but I had a more old school title, […]

Review: Manic Karts

Hi there. We’ve got some 90s karting action for you today, plus a bonus feature on its slightly nightmarish music. The game is called Manic Karts. [What did we talk about with these intros, Rik? – Ed.] Ah, ok. Also – how are you? Did you have a good summer? September already, huh? What about […]

Review: Jurassic Park: The Game

Hi all. There’s a new Jurassic Park film out at the moment (or are these new ones technically Jurassic World films?) After re-watching the old movies I was in the mood to give Telltale’s 2011 game a go too. So, that’s today’s review. [We really must have a meeting about these review intros – Ed.]

Blade Runner: ‘Enhanced Edition’ is finally out

I was all ready to click ‘Buy’ on the new ‘Enhanced’ edition of Blade Runner… until the reports of those who were keener and quicker to do so put me off. To be honest I’d sort of forgotten about it – the last time we wrote about Blade Runner here it was to note that […]

Happy Friday everyone, hope you’re all doing well. Today’s review is the 1996 racing sequel Screamer 2.

Review: Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012)

Hello everyone. Today’s game is a return to the Need for Speed franchise, and a remake/reboot of a previously successful instalment. Here’s a review of the 2012 edition of Need for Speed: Most Wanted. Plus, a reminder that we have a brief history of all of the Need for Speed games we’ve covered here, the […]

Review: F.E.A.R.

Hi all, hope you are doing ok. For this review I decided to replicate the mid-2000s PC gaming experience. Eschewing digital distribution, I installed from a DVD. Then I googled, downloaded and manually applied a patch (how quaint). I even ran it in 4:3. All a very authentic reproduction of how it used to be […]
