Nostalgia is often preceded by a rose-tinted belief that things were better 'back in the day' and while this is often untrue, Barbarian - The Death Sword is more excited about introducing slick 3D graphics and new mechanics than it is in retaining the responsive combat that made the original game so brutal and fun.

A neat idea with good presentation plagued by bad controls. Your mileage may vary.

Retro Racing says it all - those who have played top-down racers in just about any form will slip right on to this title with ease and find themselves enjoying the nostalgic, yet distinctly modern feel of the game; it's just a shame it's all over too soon and without even a thank you for having completed it.

Pizza Vs. Skeletons aims itself at casual gamers with its huge amount of short, simple and gorgeously presented challenges that only require players to learn one set of controls to complete them all; an ingenious and at times hilariously game that's hard to rip yourself away from.
