The first time I saw Virtua Fighter on my £400 Saturn stands out for me. Was truly gobsmacked.

Did anybody do the 'pay as much as you think its worth' thing? For a test I paid £0.00 for it but didnt expect it to be accepted. However I got the email this morning with the link in and downloaded it. I dont particularly like Radiohead, but am impressed they stood by their words! I might even lis...

I tried to use the latest Excel the other day and got so frustrated with the new layout. Took me ages to work out how to print a document.

They should have included an option to revert to the earlier toolbar style.

A personal hate of mine is reviews that don't show screenshots or only use screenshots that were supplied by the developer. Your reviews show no original screenshots.

How do I know you have even played any of the games you reviewed?

I have GAME's own branded one - charges a single remote and plugs into the USB port of the Wii - I would recommend it. It was £19.99 but was on offer at £14.99 if you bought anything else with it, so I picked up Tokobots on the PS2 for 3.98 as well - still cheaper than full price. It looks good ne...

I was half expecting not to like the new look after reading the comments on here yesterday, but when I got home and had a look through I was quite pleasantly surprised! :shock: Lots to read in there as well - I dont know if its because of the redesign or just more stuff in there that I wanted to rea...
