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 […]
I love flight sims, especially ones featuring modern aircraft. Over the past few months or so I’ve been watching the development of Ubi Soft’s Lock-on Modern Air Combat with real interest, the weekly movies and developer reports gave us a decent insight into this new title, and boy was it looking good. With my anticipation […]
It’s undeniably appealing to storm into a motel room and gun down three chatting hoodlums, especially in slow motion. When you’re flanked by a giant goon and a weasel-faced knife-wielder, and the slo-mo makes everybody’s yells sound deep and drawn-out, the effect is funny as well as fun. This kernel of action is at the […]
It seems like only yesterday that Generals was released. With a little more than seven months gone the boys at EA managed to crank out the first expansion pack, Zero Hour. With thirty new units, a mini-campaign, and a new gameplay mode, Zero Hour makes up in gameplay for what it lacks in depth.The story […]
The fourth installment of Comanche is now upon us and it’s like greeting an old buddy you haven’t seen in a while. The original Comanche was my first experience of a flight sim title on my trusty 486SX- in the days when 3D accelerators were things of the future and Novalogic’s Voxel technology blew you […]
It’s finally here, the much talked about RTS title Battle Realms from Liquid Entertainment. As the game has just hit European shelves we thought we’d pull on our armour, grab our spears, swords, bows and arrows and put the game through it’s paces.Battle Realms follows the story of Kenji , second son of the Serpent […]
