Beeb Beep is a computer game, published by the fairly prolific outfit of IJK Software, which runs on the Acorn BBC Micro machine. It is fairly closely based on the once-popular electronic children’s toy, Simon, in which the machine would play a sequence of random notes and simultaneously light …

Beeb Munch is a computer game for the Acorn BBC Micro computer, published by IJK Software quite a few years ago now. It is basically a clone of that great arcade Hall of Famer, Pac-Man, although by no means the best one ever written for the Beeb. It’s hard …

Breakout is a game that has been implemented a great number of times on just about every model of computer in existence, but this particular incarnation was published by IJK Software for the BBC Micro. Unfortunately it has proved to be one of the most disappointing games for this …

Blackjack by IJK Software is a computer game: an implementation of the very well known card game for the BBC Micro from Acorn. It is a fairly competently written version, although not particularly possessing any great innovations that would make it stand out from the crowd of other, similar …

Candyfloss is another entry in the sizeable back catalogue of Acorn BBC Micro games by the IJK Software outfit. It is a simple business management game, a variation on the well-known “lemonade stand” simulations that probably everyone in the world has played at some point or another. Perhaps unusually …

Flags is one of the extensive range of computer games for the Acorn BBC Micro platform that were published by IJK Software. It is an edutainment title in which players are tasked with identifying flags of the world, and other details about the countries to which those flags belong.

The rather unusually spelled Five-a-Side Socca is a sports computer game published by the IJK Software concern and playable on the BBC Micro machines made by Acorn. As its name suggests, it implements a version of five-a-side football, although not the more usual indoor version but one that seems …

Hyperdrive is a computer game for the BBC Micro machine. It was published by the prolific firm of IJK Software, who in the space of a few short years came up with nearly two dozen programs for this particular platform. This one is not one of their finest, although …

This is a somewhat long adventure game about a raccoon out to help his friends. It’s drawn in a bright cartoon style and has many puzzles for you to figure out. While it looks simple, I admit it took me awhile to figure some of the puzzles out! I’m …

I enjoyed playing this short but fun puzzle game. The entire game takes only a few minutes but it makes you think a bit, too. Mainly it’s a game played with the mouse and you click on stuff – but it’s not mindless clicking. I had to move the …

This is an interactive graphic novel, a “choose your own adventure” sort of thing, which is on a video game site. It’s pretty short but tells a great story about a person who is confused as to what he wants. Should he stay with the girl named Leigh that …

I played this game for a few hours today and I must say it is pretty good. I never played a sim type game before, so I wasn’t too sure what to expect. But to my surprise, I soon found myself interested and the hours flew past as I …

The game Little Big Planet wowed viewers when it first came out on the market. And now that the new Little Big Planet 2 game is in stores, the first game has some serious competition. Not only does the second Little Big Planet game for the Play Station have …

Madden NFL 2011 is certainly a step above any of Electronic Arts’ other Madden NFL games. With the new feature of Gameflow, you can reduce the length of a 45 minute game to about 30 minutes.

Lately I had played a role playing game on the Xbox 360 called Divinity Ego Draconis. I enjoyed the premise of the title and decided that i would buy myself the original PC game that was released around a decade or so ago. It’s in the same vein as …

While games about war are plentiful on the PC platform, every now and then one is released that takes a different approach from the usual first person shooter or squad based shooter. First Battalion has you taking on the role of a tank driver in the war, and while …

Anybody that has followed my reviews for a time would probably be able to attest to the fact that I love me some science fiction based first person shooting action. Yes, the original days of Wolfenstein 3D and DOOM left a lasting effect on me, su much so that …

I’ve always been surprised at the lack of good Top Gun games available to play. Sure there were a couple years ago on the Nintendo that were a quick blast of fun, but never in the modern age have we been given a game worthy of the allure of …

Here we go again with another budget title i picked up for pennies, but after plodding through the entire game i was really left wondering why i even bother wasting my money on the kind of games. Oh well. I’ve already bought hundreds of these kind of games over …

Hmmm… Yet another game in my long history of playing them that I feel could have been so much more than what the end result was. Pariah really is a middle of the road game, and while the ten or eleven hours it takes to play through it are …

When Arx Fatalis was first released back in 2002 it was a somewhat unique game and definitely got people’s attention. See, it was a first person action role playing game, which may not sound unique on the outside, but keep in mind that by this time the PC RPG …

I’ve been plagued by old age and health problems and I really needed to find motivation to start walking. I tried the gym and pedometers, but I ended up quitting those pretty quickly because of becoming bored with those methods. My son turned me on to trying to use …

Now here’s a game that has stood the test of time…. While writing for review stream i have been going back and re-playing a lot of games to remind myself what I thought of them. This has led to many crushed memories from re-trying games that i remembered being …

The world of Indie games has been steadily building up steam ove rthe last decade or so, and while he have had thousands of well made casual games, it’s only really been the last three years or so that has seen this indie developers trying their hands at fuller …

Some games in the hidden object genre try so hard to be great and it can be hard sometimes to truly give bad ratings to games that you can see where written and developed with a lot of care. But unfortunately even games made with the best intentions sometimes …

For every really good hidden object game i play there is around seven to ten other ones i play that aren’t so good. But lately I’ve been on a bit of a winning streak as far as finding good ones goes and my latest successful notch on the belt …

Morrowind: The Elder Scrolls III (PC console)
A single-player role-playing game developed by Bethesda Game Studios, and published by Bethesda Softworks and Ubisoft.
Role Playing games now a days don’t seem to have a vast and interactive world for you to “toy” around in. Morrowind cures this. When I successfully installed …

Ever since the success of Grand Theft Auto : San Andreas, games companies have tried their hand at creating gritty, ghetto gangster themed games in the hope to catch the tail end of the fad. Let’s just say that most of these catch-up games were pretty ordinary really and …

Call of Duty world at War HAd a fairly decent campaign, great multiplayer, and a really quirky Nazi Zombies mode at launch. The previous map pack for this game had 4 new multiplayer maps and one new Zombie map. The second Map pack has been released and the …

I have been trying to find a good workout game for the wii. I found one and I love it! This workout game has different activities. Mostly you do shape boxing but there are different activities as well. The shape boxing might sound boring but it is not. Every …

Wow!! I didn’t realize just how many 2d platform games had been released for the PC over the last few years until i started seeking them out particularly. Since i started finding them i have played a fair few but Tommy Tronic may well be one of the best …

I was very excited when i first discovered the REEL DEAL games about five years ago. See up until then the only slot-like games i had seen on the PC were based on the 3-reel fruit machine system. This may be fine to most people, but here in Australia …

Try as i might, there’s just no way that I can get myself into this game. as an indie developed 2D platformer i was automatically interested in playing it because i miss those sort of games from yesteryear.
The biggest problem i found with the game is that it’s …

Atlantis is a computer game for the Acorn range of BBC Micro systems, which was published by IJK Software. It’s probably roughly in the middle of their range as far as quality is concerned, being good enough to keep you playing for a while but not of the standard …

Adventure is a video game for the Atari 2600. Adventure is one of those video games that I absolutely, positively, refused to put down until I reached the end of the video game. I was not addicted to this video game because I found it to be fun. Just …

Obviously there are a lot of cute games for iPhones and Androids, but I happen to think that PuzPenguin is particularly cute. While it doesn’t take as much advantage of the touchscreen as other games do, it still meshes well with the touchscreen, making it a very playable game.
One …

3D Maze is a computer game published by IJK Software for the BBC Micro from Acorn. It is a game that pretty much does what it says on the tin! It is a rather poor implementation of the genre, and apart from keeping a timer running while you are …

Well this newly released hidden object game was definitely a break from the norm and i really enjoyed all of the little unique attreibutes that make this game stand out from the pack.
The setting is almost a polar opposite of most current releases in the hidden object genre …

Uno Attack is a fun variation on the original Uno card game. I grew up playing Uno with family and friends, so every time Uno comes out with a new game, I just have to pick it up. This particular game was a Christmas present …

Caterpillar is a computer game for Acorn’s BBC Micro microcomputer, published by IJK Software. It is a game based on the arcade classic, Centipede, and considering the hardware on which it runs it is surprisingly faithful to the original game. In my opinion it is one of IJK’s best …

Carnival Games is a mini-game collection video game for the Nintendo Wii. As the title suggests, this video game brings a number of games typically found at a carnival into one’s home. One such game involves making a throwing motion with the Wii remote while aiming at a moving …

Another game I tried is called “Create”, I bought this from store.apple.com. Like what I have always wanted that I would rather go for the unconventional style rather than a protagonist-antagonist story line, this game is another great experimentation from me. Perhaps the reason why I bought this is because …

Model B Invaders is a computer game published by IJK software. As its name implies, it is for the Model B version of Acorn’s BBC Micro computer. (The same software house also produced “Model A invaders”, which is a similar, but much simpler, game along the same lines.) I …

Model A Invaders is a computer game for Acorn’s BBC Micro, and is related to Model B Invaders by the same company. However, because of the much smaller memory and worse graphics capabilities of the Model A, this game is quite different from the original, and as such has …

I had just recently reviewed the CoD4 Multiplayer, but do not overlook the single player for it goes above and beyond what other games do as I’ve noticed in my opinion. The game takes place in 2007, in an unnamed Arab country and overall, seems slightly shallow in my …

I am writing this review in 2011 and this game was released in 2007. Call of Duty 4 has been hailed as the most revolutionary shooter in history next to Wolfienstien 3D or Doom and I agree to this. Callof Duty 1,2,and 3 were seen by critics as an …

The Eye of Zolton is a computer game for the BBC Micro, although it may well work on the Acorn Electron as well. It was published under the “Brainstorm Adventure Games” banner by Softek International, who produced quite a number of games for this particular platform. It’s by no …

Stairway to Hell is a computer game for Acorn’s range of BBC Micro computers, published by the Software Invasion company. It has gained a certain measure of fame in more recent years in that its name was used by a long-running vintage computing website, which although now closed is …

Terrorist Takedown is yet another game in a long, long line of budget priced first person pc war games. At my estimate there would be around twenty of these type of games released for the PC every year so it’s not like people on a budget are starves of …

You know what’s funny…. I think Starcraft 2 has been probably one of the most anticipated games of all time. The only other games i can think of that have creates the same amount of hysteria pre-release is the last couple of Grand Theft Auto games and the upcoming …
