Remembering Ridge Racer

Released: 1994 Formats: PSone, Arcade If a developer released a racing game in this day and age with only one track, we’d either expect the rest to be available as free DLC or consider them to have a screw loose. Back in 1995 though this happened. After wowing...

Ridge Racer: Unbounded stalls

Ridge Racer reboot Ridge Racer: Unbounded hasn’t got off to the best of starts in this week’s UK top 40 – it makes its chart appearance at #21. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13 performed the best out of last week’s other new releases, swinging in at #3. The...

A 2D Nintendo 3DS launch guide

The 3DS launch line-up is a funny thing. There’s a lack of an easily indefinable system seller, while the likes of THQ, Take-Two and Activision don’t have a single title ready. On more positive note, however, it’s quite astonishing that Ubisoft has managed to get six games due...

2005 Vintage

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. That’s not news. Of course it isn’t. But what effect does absence have on games? Now that’s a question, Daniel. A long haul flight was an excuse to revisit some PSP games of a 2005 vintage. How have they aged? Wipeout Pure...
