RetroReview : February Free-For-All – 4th February 2012
Feb 5th
Being one of the biggest weekends in the American sporting calendar, you may wonder what significance the playing of Super Bowl 46 would have on us here in the UK. Well you might be surprised to know that tens of thousands of us will be sitting up well into the early hours of Monday morning watching those padded up superstars of the NFL bash each other senseless. It does seem quite funny to call the winners World Champions though, seeing as the sport is only played by American teams…………I can hear that can of worms opening from here…….
Giants vs Patriots - who's going to win ? Who cares ?

RetroComment : Where’s The Originality ?
Jan 4th
4th January 2012
Is it too much to ask for something a little different ? After all if everything is the same over and over again it all becomes a bit safe and predictable. After casting an eye over some of 2012’s big game releases, RetroBear sharpens his claws once again for another attack on modern gaming….
Now wouldn't that be something ?
RetroEvents : London Gaming Convention (December 2011) Review
Jan 3rd
3rd January 2011
Better late than never, RetroBear takes you on a journey by train to “That London” as he attends the first ever London Gaming Convention and has a thoroughly enjoyable time of it….
You may recall towards the end of November I mentioned I had been invited to the first London Gaming Convention not far from Arsenal Football Club. Well the good news is I did manage to attend. The bad news is it took me so long to write an article about it. However I can report that, despite a few teething problems, and those I can’t really comment on as I did not take take part, I found the whole thing to be really rather good.
30 Days of Gaming – Game 28 : Madden NFL94 (Sega Mega Drive)
Nov 30th
Dateline : 28th November 2011
Time for some top sports action from the good old US of A. It might look like rugby for nancies, what with all that padding and stuff, but by gum does Madden play a damn good game of football….
About as close as you can get to being the great man himself without the need to buy a large mobile home

Dateline : 22nd November 2011
The end is in sight and now is the time to roll out some of the good stuff. Roll around your living room and pop out to shoot the bad guys, it’s Time Crisis…..

30 Days of Gaming – Game 21 : Taz-Mania (Sega Megadrive)
Nov 23rd
Dateline : 21st November 2011
Taz and Retrobear share a few things in common. They are always hungry, both hideously ugly and both amazingly hairy. It seemed only fair to look at Taz’s first platform outing on the Mega Drive and find out if the rave reviews on release were still justified 20 years later…..
That is the worst case of indegestion I have ever seen
30 Days of Gaming – Game 19 – Goldeneye (Nintendo 64)
Nov 22nd
Dateline : 19th November 2011
The old foe stands opposite Retrobear – the move tie in. However on this occasion he is more than pleasantly surprised as this one is really rather good. In fact not just rather good but stupendously good. So grab your silencer and your tuxedo as RetroBear goes all Bond on us….
You can tell the quality that went into this game and that is why its a gaming classic
30 Days of Gaming – Game 17 : Treasure Island Dizzy (Amiga)
Nov 22nd
Dateline : 17th November 2011
All aboard the good ship Retrosection, and after swigging a bottle of rum and counting his pieces of eight, RetroBear considers the continuing adventures of an egg named Dizzy complete with nautical theme…..
Budget gaming arrives on the Amiga in the shape of an egg. A cracking adventure to follow ?
