When reviewing any short book, one has to be mindful of giving too much of the plot away. For fear of being guilty of this, I will keep the synopsis of this particular title shorter and more to the point than the average. Diary of an 80s Computer Geek almost reads like a mini autobiography. […]

Chicago Syndicate
Looking at these screenshots, you might be tempted by this US-only release. Don’t be – Chicago Syndicate is a bad beat-’em-up.

Hardware Review: Hyperkin’s RetroN 5
Waiting. It’s not something retro collectors are used to doing. By definition the things we like to buy are old, they are games from bygone eras on systems that are no longer made. Unlike our current gen collecting friends we don’t have to wait for midnight launches or DLC release dates. Perhaps this is why […]
