‘3D Realms Anthology’ Review (PC)

by Paul Metcalf

There is a breed of gamer, they are getting on a bit now but they still remember the hell of PC gaming in the nineties.  This was when numbers like 2086, 286, 386 and 486 actually meant something other than being bad lines in Hackers and multi-core computing was not something even considered in the […]

‘Nightbanes’ Review (PC)

by Paul Metcalf

There is no denying the fact that digital collectable card games are popular. In many ways this makes them perfect for the free-to-play model where money can be grabbed back from the player when they are hooked and need the better decks to aid them in battle.
