Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. Capcom (2017) Playstation 4

Posted on August 20, 2018 by Van Rockingham — 2 Comments

I know this doesn’t count as retro as that it barely counts as old even in gaming terms but this is my website and I don’t give a fuck as it is dirt cheap in 2nd hand stores, plus perhaps…

Resident Evil: Revelations 2. Capcom (2015) XBox 360

Posted on October 9, 2017 by Van Rockingham — 4 Comments

Originally released as individual episodes over the course of a few months, sensible people will have just bought the box set disc and saved themselves effort and money. I was surprised how much I enjoyed Revelations 1 as it felt…

Resident Evil: Revelations. Capcom (2013) Xbox 360

Posted on August 28, 2017 by Van Rockingham — Leave a comment

Originally released on portable devices in 2012, Revelations got a proper full release on home consoles in 2013. In a weird way, I quite enjoy being proven wrong about games. Capcom are responsible for over half of my personal top…

Fatal Frame (Project Zero) Tecmo (2003) XBox

Posted on January 11, 2017 by Van Rockingham — 5 Comments

Fatal Frame (in the US), known as Project Zero in PAL, and just “Zero” in Japan is a Survival Horror game that I refused to give a chance. I have always had issues with skeevy Japanese schoolgirl fetish/anime shite, so I…

Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem. Silicon Knights (2002) Gamecube

Posted on October 31, 2016 by Van Rockingham — 12 Comments

It is fair to say Eternal Darkness wasn’t the most commercially successful game (less than 500,000 worldwide sales). I guess some of the blame can be put at the feet of Nintendo, as the Gamecube wasn’t the most popular system.…

Posted on October 30, 2016 by Scrambles — 3 Comments

HALLOWEEEEEEEN! WOOOOOOooooooo *cough* So we like playing horror games at Halloween. Go figure, right? As much as I would’ve liked to scribe my feelings about The Walking Dead Season 2 (seriously, fuck you Kenny), it would’ve been a copy and…

As a special bonus to Konami month, here is the Silent Hill 3 HD remake. Nothing makes certain sections of the internet more salty than the subject of the Silent Hill HD collection. People have made 2 hour long documentaries detailing…

Silent Hill 3. Konami (2003) PlayStation 2

Posted on September 25, 2016 by Van Rockingham — Leave a comment

What better way to wrap up Konami month than with Silent Hill 3, on anniversary of reviewing Silent Hill 1! Silent Hill 2 is my favourite game, I honestly think it to be one of the few examples of a perfect…

Silent Hill HD Collection: Silent Hill 2 HD. Konami (2012) Xbox 360

Posted on May 31, 2016 by Van Rockingham — 3 Comments

Silent Hill 2 is probably my favourite game, and after playing it through on the PS2 I thought I’d have a go at the HD remake for the XBox360. If you want an in depth review of Silent Hill 2,…
