Music Monday: Chrono Trigger
Guest columnist Glen Watts takes time out to laud Yasunori Mitsuda’s Chrono Trigger score. It’s 1994 and Yasunori Mitsuda is not a happy man. Having joined Squaresoft two years previously […]
Music Monday: NiGHTS into dreams…
I’d posit that NiGHTS into dreams… is as much of a synaesthetic experience as Tetsuya Mizuguchi’s Rez. It’s inconceivable that the game would offer the option to mute the uplifting, […]

It’s been over a year since SEGA Studios Australia released their (to me) hugely disappointing remake for contemporary platforms, but, as is not unusual, I woke up feeling nostalgic for […]

Music Monday: Shatter
New Zealand artist Module’s soundtrack for Sidhe Interactive’s spangly Breakout/Arkanoid variant Shatter cunningly and curiously managed to sound simultaneously retro, contemporary and futuristic. Such devilry. More importantly it was toe-tappingly, […]
Ethan: Meteor Hunter (not so) Quick Rinse – parts one to four
Darren Gargette takes on tricky puzzle/platformer Ethan: Meteor Hunter from Seaven Studios for PC and PS3. In the first of four videos Darren kills the game and then puzzles his […]
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 […]
