The Top 100 Your Sinclair ZX Spectrum Games: #79 – Atic Atac

June 10, 2016 by Villordsutch

From one supposed classic yesterday to one real classic today! Arriving at Number #79 in the charts – rather criminally too – is Atic Atac from Ultimate.  You may be instantly wondering – as I was – why this game is so low in the Your Sinclair Top 100. I have no idea and as […]

Rare’s Everwild gets a new trailer from Xbox Games Showcase

July 24, 2020 by Calum Petrie

Rare was a studio that Microsoft never treated fairly in a lot of peoples’ opinions. The studio was given the task of making Kinect titles for the Xbox, a peripheral device that was sadly underused by many developers. This studio that was responsible for so many childhood classics such as Conkers: Bad Fur Day, Banjo […]

Video Game Review – Sea of Thieves

March 27, 2018 by Shaun Munro

Shaun Munro reviews Sea of Thieves… It’s been a week since Rare’s long-awaited seafaring multiplayer swashbuckler hit shores worldwide, and as just about any sensible observer expected, the game has drawn harshly divided responses from gamers and critics alike.
