The Pixel Empire's Awesome August

August is going to be epic. And here's why.

The next big thing on our horizon is another Pixel Q&A. Alan has managed to bag us another fantastic interview to add to our burgeoning list and it's one of the most insightful, fascinating and interesting ones we've had so far. And if your heart lies with retro gaming, you're sure to love it.

But we're not resting on our laurels, oh no. We've a veritable barrage of reviews on the way in the next few weeks, and as ever, we feature a wide span of genres and platforms. They include a FarCry double-bill; classy platformer Klonoa: Empire Of Dreams GBA; a Mario Kart double AND another request review (for Daniel Widdison - all he did was ask!) of Michael Jackson's Moonwalker SMD.

A Double-double and a retro Pixel Duel

13/7/2013

We've got two sets of review doubles coming up for our readers; an old vs. new of gaming ninjas between Shadow Warriors CPC and Ninja Gaiden 2 X360, as well as a Need For Speed double, featuring the Criterion's modern versions of Hot Pursuit PS3 and Most Wanted X360.

We know our readers like a bit of competition also, and so Pixel Hi-Score Duel #5 (a first meeting between retro gaming heavyweights Alan and Chris) should be just the ticket. It's our oldest game to yet feature in a Duel, the title in question being none other than Konami's 2D plaform-adventure Super Castlevania IV SNES, earlier reviewed here. Al and Chris love a challenge, and so we're set fair for another grueling contest. And as if all that isn't enough to get your gaming juices flowing, we're also covering Irrational Games' classic FPS System Shock 2 PC.
