Hydro Thunder Hurricane Review
The people that spend their working days posting on videogame forums are a predictable bunch. When they’re not extolling the virtues of their preferred consoles, they’re either nailing their colours to a best-loved developer’s mast or worship...
Walker - a retrospective
A couple of weeks ago now I took a look at Splat on the ZX Spectrum. At the time I wrote it wasn't a game I particularly liked as a child, but did find some respect for it's simplicity in the end. So I thought I would pick one of my favourites, something I had...
Maestro Green Groove Review
Once again here at AATG we're lucky enough to have convinced Alice "Monkeyfrog" O'Toole to do a DSiWare review for us. So take it away Alice.... First of all, I would like to draw attention to the fact that this game was incredibly original, fun, and amusing....

A boy lies still, slumped in the grass.Is he dead? His metaphorical game over?Or is he just asleep in the shade, his weary eyes resting?I prod with my thumb. Once. Twice. A third time more aggressively.Nothing.But then his lifeless body ...

Crackdown 2 Review
By Tom Scholes on 21/07/2010 at 18:34. 4 comments.
If games grew old and died, that should be inscribed on Crackdown 2's gravestone. They just don't "get it".There is a group of people who have played Crackdown 2. They've seen the simple campaign structure, the game mechanics and the less-than-cutting edge gra...
Jim and Frank Mysteries - The Blood River Files Review
They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Charles Caleb Colton apparently coined this phrase, and he was pretty darn bang on the money with it. The world of videogames is littered with many, er, let’s call them ‘homages’ to t...
Driller - A retro(speccy)spective
The search for 3D always seems to have been the holy grail when it comes to gaming. While Sony and Nintendo follow Hollywood's lead by having a flirtation with RealD technology (or whatever Nintendo's glasses-free version of it is called), merely representing ...
Letting the dust settle: Uncharted 2
This is the first in many ‘Letting the dust settle’ articles. Well, when I say many, there will at least be one more. Really it all depends on what sort of response they get and how many of you choose to read them instead of commenting on whoever h...
Tales of Monkey Island: Review
There aren’t many games that can stand the test of time as well as Monkey Island. Many games that I remember fondly from my childhood are, if I’m being totally honest with myself, either unplayable now or about as enjoyable as yet another PS3 vs XB...
Can your games console really make you fit?
If there’s one weird phenomena that’s risen from the pile of discarded pizza boxes and Pringles tubes this generation, it’s the fitness game. There is a gigantic multi-million dollar market for games that purport to marry your favourite hobby...
Splat! A Retrospective
Splat! A Retrospective
By Tom Scholes on 12/07/2010 at 08:03. 4 comments.
Sometimes when going through one of my retro kicks, revisiting old games, I do play titles that at one time I did not like or enjoy. It can certainly be interesting in a way, to see how my tastes have changed, and to see games in the 20/20 vision of hindsight....
Death Track: Resurrection Review
We’ve had an amazing gaming year so far. 2010’s first six months has been packed with some serious contenders for game of the year and we haven’t even had a whiff of the release-packed madness of the fourth quarter yet. Amongst the diamonds t...

Retrospective – D/Generation (Amiga)
About this time last year I started a retro-game blog while unemployed, the idea was to improve my writing while celebrating the games I used to love and the games I never played the first time around. My blog is all but dead now – a new job and a baby s...
Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days – demo impressions
For most people the 2007's Kane and Lynch failed to stand out in a sea of first and third person shooters. The gameplay was bland and uninspired and it didn't exactly look amazing – what it did have was an interesting pairing of characters in Kane and Ly...

Pinball games seem to have found a very welcoming home on the iPhone, with many top notch examples to try. The latest throwing its hat into the ring comes from Bad Monkee Games where they are aiming to grab some of the action provided by this year’s foot...

Still need to finish the first Saw. Got stuck on an utter bastard of a puzzle (time limit, it wasn't a mind bender)). T'was mostly shite, but it almost got a few things right....
