Over the years I’ve had a love/hate relationship with Nintendo’s seminal racer. I loved the SNES and N64 games and hated every version since, especially Mario Kart Wii. Thanks Ninty, but you can take your airy-fairy steering wheel and shove it right up your arse! Without a rubbish steering wheel in sight and sporting some natty 3D visuals, Mario Kart [...]

It was like Christmas had come early. On the 13th Dec 1998 the much-delayed Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was finally released in the UK. This was a day one purchase for me. I remember spending many, many hours immersed in the wonderful world of Hyrule, until I finally saved the Princess. Happy times. Now, 13 years later, Ocarina [...]
