    Review – Clay Fighter: Sculptor’s Cut

    It’s an embarrassing fact that I used to like Clay Fighter’s 64-bit entries. A lot, actually. I used to see the series as almost the peak of humour; my generation’s Monty Python. I’m not embarrassed because it’s a bad game. I mean, it’s not great, but I love lots of games that are not great. Need I remind you of…

    Review – Clay Fighter

    The impact that Street Fighter II had on the industry can’t be understated. It jump started a genre, and soon, the pretenders started crowding in.

    Review – Fallout 2

Fallout 1 frustrated me by placing my character in borderline unwinnable scenarios. In Fallout 2, I couldn’t…

    Review – Fallout

    Like the Grand Theft Auto, Elder Scrolls, and various other series, some people never touched Fallout until the third entry. I was like that. That was me! I've gone back to play the first couple Fallout games, and this time, I'm going to play them to completion.
