Castle Wolfenstein was hailed as the mother of the stealth genre when it was released in 1981, where limited ammo scattered throughout it’s 2D world often made the player take the silent approach to enemi...[Read More]
Wildlife Park 3 Review – MOUSE n JOYPAD
Wildlife Park 3 Review   The Wildlife Park series has always been among the black sheep of the ever growing tycoon games family.

Shiny The Firefly Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Shiny The Firefly Review   Over the last few years I have noticed a severe lack of games being advertised for a child’s market. Whether that is through sheer ignorance or a total disinterest due to my age, beard and love of computer game violence, I am unable to tell you. Yet upon reviewing the following game an obvious revelation entered my mind. The market is well established and thriving fo...[Read More]
