Review: Trader of Stories: Bell’s Heart and Grain of Truth by Toddziak Indie games are just everywhere these days. You can easily grab some brand-new titles on Steam, GOG or directly from the page of a developer of your liking. What’s even better, some of indie gems are totally free to download or play in […]
The Train Giant (otherwise known as A-Train 9) is … wait a second, A-Train NINE? I can remember playing the original A-Train on the Amiga, but until I was given this game to review I had no idea it had run to so many editions. In fact I’ve since learned that ‘original’ A-Train was actually […]
Supersonic Software (an offshoot of Codemasters) has made a career of nimble, top-down racers, and Wrecked: Revenge Revisited falls neatly into that same category. If you played either Mashed or Mashed: Fully Loaded (also known as Drive to Survive) between 2004 and 2006, you’ve essentially already played this title. You may not have played it […]

Here we go then, yet another videogame that’s following the well-worn tank tracks of the Iran-Iraq war. Must we have another release that focuses so heavily on such a played-out setting? Oh look, it also has missions based around the Soviet attack on Afghanistan and the Angolan Civil War in the 1980s. Yawn yawn, how […]
I have my doubts about the name Race Injection. It sounds as if the game should either be a Japanese gameshow based around speed-vaccinations, or a horrific plot by white supremacist chemists to further their evil goals. It’s actually neither of those things (I know, I thought they were rich material for videogames too). Instead, […]
Going by a couple of available sources (ok, yes, Wikipedia and Mobygames) Worms: Ultimate Mayhem (Worms:UM), inclusive of numerous re-issues, re-releases and re-packagings, is something like the 22nd or 23rd Worms release in 16 years. While this demonstrates a certain amount of enduring love for the mid-90s series, it also indicates a remarkable dearth of […]
Elevator Action Deluxe has made me scream with rage more than anything since Super Meat Boy. In Super Meat Boy, my screams were tempered somewhat as the annoyance was short-lived, the action fast, and the levels smartly designed. Here, my screams were exacerbated by the knowledge that I would never be able to track down […]
On the surface of it, tennis seems like a sport that should have died out long ago; a person on either side of a low-strung net trying to hit the ball past one another hardly sounds all that entertaining. And yet, it is. From Pong to Virtua Tennis to real tennis, the act of hitting […]
Just before World War II kicked off, a statue of Chopin was put up in the upper part of Warsaw’s Łazienki Park and to this day piano recitals are performed beneath it to commemorate Chopin’s compositions. The stylized tree over Chopin’s figure echoes a pianist’s hand and fingers, which seems like a fitting tribute to […]
