Welcome back my friends, to the show that never ends. We’re so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside. Right, that’s enough of Emerson, Lake and Palmer. This is 60 Second Retro Gamer Episode 67. The review? Why, it’s that classic (ahem…) Driven, based on the film of the same name starring Sylvester Stallone. …

This week’s blast from the past is Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 3 on the Gamecube. Rebel Strike was released at the tail end of 2003 in the middle of the console’s run, and proved to be another solid entry in the world of Star Wars video games. Solid, but not spectacular. Some may have appreciated …

It seems that most developers just can’t get licensed tie-in games right. Such is the case with Underworld The Eternal War. 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 …

Back in 2012 we captured gameplay for a Playstation Move game called Start The Party. This was originally intended to be a normal 60 second review with a podcast on the side. Then the project fell by the wayside and both the footage and podcast lay dormant on Simon’s computer for three years. Then in …

I’ve always been a fan of the Wayne’s World movies. They’re infinitely quotable, have a surreal undercurrent in the same style as Airplane and they feature some rather good musicians. 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 …

The podcast is available at www.randomstoat.com Apart from a brief dalliance with a tape-based Atari system at some point in the 80s, my first experience of video games was with the Nintendo Entertainment System. Much like everyone else, we owned Super Mario Bros, however our version was on the same cart as Duck Hunt. Cut …

A podcast is also available at www.randomstoat.com or through iTunes. Blast know no limits when it comes to acquiring licences for well known franchises (see some of our other videos for more – and what’s worse is there’s a lot more we’ve yet to cover), so it should come as no surprise that in 2007 …

Podcast available at www.randomstoat.com Yes, they even made a game based on An American Tail. Who are “they” you might ask? Obviously, it’s Blast Entertainment with another very cheap, very badly coded video game. I really do wonder what goes through their mind every time they purloin a new licence – Beverly Hills Cop? Sure, …

The video above is Ant’s review, the one below is our complete play through of the game, overdubbed with our podcast. For the record, in the intro sketch that really is the sound of Tesco Value bread hitting me in the face. For those of you not in the know, there’s a video games company …

Version reviewed is the PS3/Xbox 360/PC edition of the game. There are variations of the title with different features (and different developers) for PS2, Wii and the DS which we may review at a later date. I’ll admit right from the start that I’ve not played this one yet, so my witterings below are based …
