Music Monday: Strider
I’m rather enjoying the recent downloadable Strider title that’s been put together by Double Helix in association with Capcom. It’s a slick, briskly-paced dash’n’slash ‘metroidvania’ type game that’s closer to something like Bionic Commando Rearmed […]
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist
By all logic, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist should be a satirical comedy. It’s a good thing then that that’s exactly what the sixth game in the Splinter Cell series – a game with four trademarks […]
Skydive: Proximity Flight
I’m the kind of person who will eat the third Shredded Wheat… The kind who will happily eat chocolate before swimming and, in my old age I may well wear socks with sandals. All pretty extreme […]
