Thief Simulator, but in the 80s! If you played thief simulator, or just liked the look of it, then American Theft 80s' may just be the game for you. After a couple of hours in the prologue I think that I have a fairly good idea of how the game functions.
A game of thrones built upon a house of cards, with a platinum chip in the middle and in other words; it was rigged from the start.
A corpse of a game that continues to embarrass itself frequently and without much care for the scene that it is making. The game launched with nothing short of the highest...
Hello again OUG readers. We all know about the ups and downs of life and our ever continuing search for escapism from our true existence. Don't worry I am not writing a script for a new Matrix movie (even though that should be warranted from the horror I saw in the cinema last year). With times being hard with...
I remember Kao the Kangaroo that released back around 2000 on a handful of systems, I played the game on the Dreamcast and yes it was a competent game it wasn't anything special.

The catastrophic original release of 'Cyberpunk 2077', back in the already dreadful year of 2020, is scarred in the minds of gamers. Leaving many of us with a sour taste in their mouth.

In 1998 "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" toppled the US box office, making more money than any film in the last six weeks of that year. This unprecedented success of a video game - a mere childrens' pastime - forced hitherto the dominant cultural and artistic domains and mediums to sit up and take notice: videogames could...
One thing I remember in the old days before the market was awash with readily available graphics cards that had more power than your entire street- was the difficulty in making your PC and its games actually work. Even though it was a fun time on the whole I wont let my nostalgia completely smother the feelings of frustration...
In a news cycle dominated by big companies spending big bucks and getting big headlines, a Nintendo Direct was a refreshing treat, allowing gamers to talk about games and not investment portfolios. While this recent Direct may very well be regarded as one of the best in recent memory, the deafening silence of some of the biggest hitters in...
A fan favourite amongst arcade goers, Excitebike was an extremely successful title for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1984. It pioneered the 2D motorbike racing and stunt genre that we still today. From hundreds, if not thousands, of flash games to the incredible Trials series, Excitebike laid the foundations for future endeavours in this...
