The racing game genre is one of the oldest and most persistent in gaming. It has been around almost as long as people have been able to manoever around little blobs of colour, and it’s easy to understand why – it’s fast, it’s action-filled, and it’s one of the most…
Read MoreLet’s have a bit of fun with our list this week! Everyone knows that one of the things that we like most in our RPGs and JRPGs are the characters. After all, these are 40, 50, even 80 hour-long games, so if we’re not interested in the plight of the…
Read MoreThis is our last E3 article for the year, but it wouldn’t be right if we didn’t pick some “winners” of the show. And so, what better excuse to pick some winners than the Friday Ten list? It was a really great show, I think everyone can agree with that…

Read MoreThe Nintendo Wii U has become a very solid device for fans of retro games. While the line-up of titles is not as comprehensive as what we enjoyed on the Wii, and there are some consoles that are almost absent (Where are my Nintendo 64 games, Nintendo!), but the Game…

Read MoreI’m going to be a bit lazy this week and make a list of pictures for the Friday Ten (sorry, it’s been a very long week). That said, after last week’s favourite Miku music tracks from Project Diva, I thought it would be fun to do a list of my…
