​PIXEL REVIEW: CHASE: HOLLYWOOD STUNT DRIVER XBOX 24/9/2021
They don't make 'em like this anymore: Shane takes the wheel of the Xbox-exclusive Chase, a driving game where players performed stunts for points back in 2002. Does it make the cut? Read our latest review to find out.

​PIXEL REVIEW: SEVERED WIIU 10/9/2021
One of the eighth generation's most creative and thematically unusual adventures. DrinkBox already had a reputation for quality, but as Shane explains his latest review, Severed may well stand as their finest work.

​PIXEL REVIEW: IRONCAST PC 6/9/2021
Tom wanted to try something a little different and he most definitely found it! How does a match-3 strategy game set in Victorian times with steampunk-inspired mechs grab you? Tom covers Dreadbit's innovative hybrid in his review.

​PIXEL REVIEW: DINOTOPIA: THE SUNSTONE ODYSSEY XBOX 25/8/2021
The inviting world of Dinotopia is the destination for Shane's latest review. An action/adventure that faced stern competition on its 2004 release, a poorly articulated story and boring gameplay would prove its undoing.

​PIXEL REVIEW: DIRT 4 PS4 23/8/2021
Fix one or two issues with DiRT Rally and you'd have more or less the ultimate rallying game, right? Well, yeah. Tom looks at the phenomenal DiRT 4, one of the most exciting and playable rally racers there's ever been.

​PIXEL REVIEW: SHINOBI PS2 6/8/2021
Rising from the ashes of the Dreamcast, Shinobi found a new home on PS2. The long-awaited revamp of SEGA's classic ninja action game turned heads and divided opinions, as Shane explains in his latest review.

​PIXEL REVIEW: SEGA RALLY PS3 3/8/2021
Tom revisits the now almost-forgotten third SEGA Rally. Despite delivering enjoyable racing, stunning visuals and impressive environmental effects, the climate of 2007 would see a muted response from the gaming public.

​PIXEL REVIEW: TUROK: EVOLUTION PS2 20/7/2021
Evolution or regression? Acclaim's rebirthing of the popular N64 dinosaur FPS series was met with plenty of expectation from fans when it released in 2002. Shane picks over the bones of this prequel in his latest review.

​PIXEL REVIEW: NEED FOR SPEED: UNDERCOVER PS3 18/7/2021
The period of transition between the sixth and seventh generations proved a difficult one for the Need for Speed games. Tom looks back at Undercover, a racer undone by a catalogue of bugs that remain unfixed.

​PIXEL REVIEW: EAT LEAD: THE RETURN OF MATT HAZARD X360 14/7/2021
A shoot 'em up gaming parody? "It'll never work!", I hear you scream. Gaming has evolved a lot over recent years however and Shane's latest review looks at whether Eat Lead could break new ground for humour-infused shooting.

​PIXEL REVIEW: MOTORSTORM PS3 11/7/2021
Evolution Studios' much-vaunted PS3 launch title would introduce many PlayStation gamers to the world of online gaming. But as Tom discovers in his latest review, it's well worth revisiting for its excellent single-player.

​PIXEL REVIEW: RAD RODGERS PS4 4/7/2021
Still yearning for the kind of platformer-shooter titles that used to light up the home computers of the early nineties? Tom dives into Slipgate Ironworks' throwback, to see if Rad Rodgers delivers the right dose of nostalgia.

​PIXEL REVIEW: AVENGERS: BATTLE FOR EARTH WIIU 1/7/2021
Could Avengers: Battle for Earth stand out for more than the draw of its superheroes alone? Shane investigates the time Ubisoft, the Marvel universe and Gamepad controls combined for a big brawler, in his latest review.
