Computer games.


The division is very playable, particularly with mates.
Key to keeping people interested is going to be expanding the playable content outside of the dark zone, I and mates are not too far off running out of things to do.
If they can continue to expand that and bring in new content, it'll be fantastic.

Nice effort, but I'm not sure you can review a game from that long ago.

It's like rating your Nan.

Well I'm not really rating it, it doesn't get a score for instance, I'm just looking at whether it's worth playing now

That's really what I do with the Retro write ups

I play a Retro game and see whether it holds up or not

The Retro market is big at the moment and games like Super Soccer can be bought quite easily. There could be people who have never played this who are thinking about adding it to their SNES collection

It's not really a review in the traditional sense, because, as you say, gaming has changed a lot and the criteria I'd use for reviewing a modern release isn't really valid when used in reference to an older game

However, I do know people who have bought a Mega Drive/SNES/PS1/N64 who have found these features useful when considering whether to pick a game up or not, especially the higher priced ones. They are usually younger folk who have never had one of those consoles until now and they want to make sure they'll get games that they'll have fun playing

Plus, older people who remember these games like the trip down memory lane

Think I'm finally bored of gaming!

Recently finished fallout 4 and since then I have no real urge to play anything. I have been rotating between rocket league fifa and fallout and now I can't be arsed doing that.

I'm actually tempted to get an Xbox and the halo games just to see if they are fun still. Anyone played them? Are they the same as the older ones?

I played Halo 5 on Xbox One last week. Completed the story in a couple of days. I found it better plot wise than the last one and what it does it does well, but there is nothing new there. I won't be playing it again to try and unlock more achievements put it that way.

I'm now on to Dying Light and my god for a game that had promise there are some bloody infuriating instant death moments.

I enjoy your articles mate. Even if I don't always agree with your verdicts. Love a bit of retro gaming me.
