For some reason, despite being a huge Ghostbusters fan and owning a C64 for years, I never played this game until stumbling across an Atari 2600 copy of it in the early 90s. As you'd imagine, that version was fairly basic but did the job, even without the shonky digitised speech (Imagine if they ...

For anyone looking for a non-EA F1 game I've been pretty impressed with New Star GP on Steam. It's a bit more arcadey, but the physics have enough touches of realism to give a bit of challenge and the graphics are full-on Virtua Racer-style polygons. It's got an interesting career mode, where you ...

Despite being a big Sega fan in the late 80s and 90s, for some reason I'd never heard of OutRun 2 until I found a copy of the original Xbox version. Any hype around the game had clearly passed me by, so playing it was a wonderful surprise. The original OutRun, while never my favourite Sega game, was ...

Apparently he's a big sim racer, basically spends all of his time not in a real car on iRacing. So no wonder why he always seems 'on'.

Plus, I think Hamilton is a decent bloke and a great person to hang the sport on, now it's headlined by the most unlikeable driver since young boy Vettel (who has had the greatest redemption arc since Theon Greyjoy). I guess that makes Max the perfect heel - impossible to like, but you can't deny ...

Was going to hold off on SF6, but all the glowing reviews won me over and I pre-ordered. Now have it preloaded on my PS5 and ready to go.

it's great to see a game's systems being exploited, and my policy with single player games is play it however you want to play it, but damn, it's strange seeing people take such a stately and beloved franchise and make it feel a Reddit thread. Funny thing is, as entertaining as it's been to see ...

While Yakuza 6 does take a while to get going, it ends up having arguably the biggest heart of the series. The developing relationship between Kiryu and Haruka is charming and often hilarious, and the residents of Onomichi are easy to fall in love with, quickly becoming just as much a part of the ...

I always expected that KOTOR would become a huge part of my gaming history, though as fate would have it, it would be for more reasons than I was expecting. In the leadup to release, it sounded like my dream game: a marriage of my loves for RPGs and Star Wars. I got an Xbox in large part to play it ...

After falling in love with the franchise with Yakuza 0, Kiwami was an enjoyable, if slightly lesser experience. Its roots as a remastered PS2 game are unmistakeable, lacking the depth found in the other games, but it was still worth it for the introduction of Haruka and Nishiki's gut-wrenching heel ...

The more I hear about this game, the more interested I get. Was never a fan of the series, but it sounds like they've really struck out with something different. Shame it's coincided with unemployment, so no Kratos for me just yet, but I'll be keeping an eye out for it in sales over the next few ...

Cheers!

Will definitely be grabbing this. My only Shenmue experience was playing 2 on the Xbox. At the time I found it a kind of baffling experience just by dint of how different it was to games of the time, but having fallen in love with the Yakuza series over the last year I feel ready to jump into ...

My earliest memories of Space Invaders are mainly of the Atari 2600 version, this and the fantastic Asteroids conversion giving me my first realization that you could legitimately have an arcade game in the home. Nowadays it's more a legacy piece and doesn't hold up gameplay-wise as well as other ...

My defining memories of Worms mainly centre around drunken, shamblingly hilarious hot-seat sessions with friends at uni in the mid-90s. People forget how revolutionary that first game was at the time, but as a guy who had briefly lost touch with gaming after growing up through the Atari and 8-bit ...
