  • Pilotwings Resort

    The gift of flight, it’s something that man has wanted for many a year and the closest we’ve come to is helicopters and aeroplanes. Now, there are jetpacks, hovercrafts and things, but these are rarely very good and in the case of jetpacks are nearly exclusively restricted to the world of make-believe. This is where…

  • Dungeons & Dragons Daggerdale

    Dungeons and Dragons. It conjures memories of a cartoon aired on CBBC in the mid 1990s, which in turn was probably a late 80s cartoon. For many others, who are decidedly more “into” the franchise, it’s all about the common lore, the magical powers and the ability to crush evil in the world by a…

  • Storm in a Teacup

    Storm in a Teacup is a new app from the Macclesfield based company Chillingo. Developed by Cobra Mobile, the game has a simple, yet addictive structure to it. The aim of the game is to guide a teacup through 40 levels collecting sugar cubes, stars and other objects that are discovered on the journey. The…

  • Super Monkey Ball 3D

    Super Monkey Ball will always hold a special place in the hearts of many. It was the start of of something new, an original franchise for Nintendo’s purple console – GameCube.

    Dragons’ Den. It has provided entertainment for millions of viewers of the BBC 2 programme and success for the elite who actually gain an investment from the business Dragons. Products and services are now available that would not have been without the show. Thanks to the BBC, addiction to Reggae Reggae sauce exists! It would…

  • Spider Jack

    It is safe to assume that the majority of people do not like spiders. Whether this is down to them having 8 legs or scuttling across rooms and up walls. Arachnophobia is one of the most common fears in people. Spiders aren’t really the bad guys. Yes they are a little creepy and too fast…

  • Destructopus!

    Octopi are solemn, intelligent and often found in the ocean. They are not ostentatious in anyway. The same cannot be said for Destructopus!, our hero in the new iOS game of the same name. Angered by the force of humanity, with a constant quest for oil and complete disregard for the delicate balance of nature,…

  • Thor: God of Thunder

    Movie to Game Tie-ins have been a tradition since video gaming hit the mainstream. They have a reputation of being hashed together quickly, follow the same story as the film and are generally sub-par. SEGA have decided with THOR: God Of Thunder to change tact slightly. Written by the Thor (comic) writer Matt Fraction who…

  • Big Hit Baseball

    Baseball, it’s really not a huge thing in the UK. If anything, it’s something that’s so small that people only ever hear about it on American sitcoms and when people make jest at that Japanese. We’ve got our own sports, cricket, rounder’s, tennis and whatever other sports require hitting a ball with a wooden or…

  • Pinball FX2 Mars

    The 80s, many things have come from this decade of change. Margaret Thatcher, the walkman, widely available VCRs and gaming systems that had names with Mega, or Entertainment System, just to name a few.  However, with all eras, some items are left in the dust and one relic of the 80s and before is the…
