Review by Matt S. I have a lot of respect for the developers of serious racing games. The demands that the genre places on physics engines is extreme, and, worse (from the developer’s point of view), it is intensely noticeable when that physics engine is even slightly out, because that’s…
Read MoreReview by Jim S. It’s been 21 years since the first Worms game released, and since then we have had so many releases in the series and it’s still going strong. I remember playing one of the older games for PC when I was a child and I liked it:…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Who doesn’t love a game of Uno? A classic card game for the whole family, Uno managed to become so synonymous with family card games on account of its simple rules, basic strategy, and light hearted approach to gameplay. This is the kind of game that…

I’d dabbled with both Spider-Man and the X-Men through their respective 90s animated series and played Arcade’s Revenge on the Super Nintendo. I’d also seen the Spider-Man movies and while this started my…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I still play Nethack to this day. When I was younger I played Nethack because it was free and I was happy to have a game of the sheer complexity that it offered for free, even if it meant I needed to put up with ASCII…
Read MoreReview by Matt C. Obliteracers occupies a strange space. It’s somewhere between a car combat game and a kart racer, with the former’s focus on obliterating opponents, but along circuitous kart tracks rather than open arenas. It’s an interesting concept that adds a fresh spin on both genres, but sadly,…
