Developed by Gray Matter and published by Mindscape in 1990, Mad Max on the NES is basically a loose re-telling of the story of Mad Max 2 (the film, aka The Road Warrior in North America). The opening crawl in the game is basically the same opening words as the narrator of the film.

Call of Duty 2, PC
Infinity Ward and Activision‘s sequel to Call of Duty – Call of Duty 2 – was where I sat up and really started to take notice of the series. That was because the game opens with you playing a soldier from the Russian perspective, rather than American, which I thought was a bold decision. Also: in this game you can actually choose which of the three campaigns to play from the main menu (although you do have to unlock them), which wasn’t the case in Call of Duty or United Offensive.
Fallout: London, PC [Part 7 – Rabbit and Pork]
Okay, here’s a “secret, hidden” bonus seventh instalment of my recent Fallout: London adventure. This one is all about the “Rabbit and Pork” DLC/add-on that was released on 30th September 2025, and grabs of my THIRD Fallout: London playthrough.
“Rabbit and Pork” is Cockney rhyming slang for “talk“. It’s also the name of a recent DLC for the Fallout 4 total conversion – Fallout: London.

Fallout: London, PC [Part 6 – Tributes and References]
The magic sprinkled over the top of Fallout: London, I would say, are the many historic and cultural tributes and references, and other fine details, that have been woven into the game by the skills and dedication of the developers.

Fallout: London, PC [Part 5 – A Cultural Classic]
Initially, when I first saw the launch video for Fallout: London, I was sceptical about how good the voice acting would be in the game. I heard what sounded like a fake cockney accent and cringed… Thankfully, though, that first impression wasn’t correct, and I’m glad to report that the majority of the accents, and the voice acting, in Fallout: London, are absolutely spot-on.

Fallout: London, PC [Part 3 – The Storyline]
The storyline in Fallout: London is split into three separate acts. How the game progresses depends on your actions in the previous act.

Fallout: London, PC [Part 2 – Avoiding the Bugs]
Before proceeding with the review, I want to bring up the “elephant in the room” with Fallout: London. Something that bothered me throughout my first two playthroughs, and also something that can be mostly avoided with some careful planning and insight. And that is: avoiding the many bugs in the game…

Fallout: London, PC [Part 1 – No Swimming in the River Thames]
Created by Team FOLON, with the backing of gog.com, Fallout: London is a free total conversion for Fallout 4, turning the English capital city into a post-apocalyptic hellscape, with various different factions warring against each other.
The entire single-player campaign – the whole game, in fact – has been modified to give you a new storyline to play through, plus loads of other extras that accent the very Britishness of it all. The mod satirises British history, culture, and British manufacturing and consumerism, and has countless unique items and locations to discover while exploring.
