Little Britain (PS2) review – 60 Second Gamer Episode 02

Let us summarise the Little Britain video game for you. It’s genuinely bad, one barely worthy of the world of video games. Seven mini games and some arbitrary challenges just to give you something to do. That’s because those seven mini games can take about half an hour to work through once you get used …

Crash n Burn (PS2) review – 60 Second Gamer Episode 01

Welcome to the start of brand new, honest to Grud 2016 60 Second Gamer! We start with perhaps a less well known game, Crash N Burn. This was published by Eidos on the PS2 way back in 2004. In many ways it’s a Burnout clone. There’s fast paced racing action, lots of crashing and plenty of …

Only released on the PS2 and not made available in the US, we can say with honesty that you’re not missing much at all. Aside from the incredibly linear gameplay, textures are poor and …

I should never be surprised at finding out that another popular licence has received a video game tie-in, but seriously – how does Wayne’s World …
