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.

Dark Arena, Game Boy Advance
Developed by Graphic State and published by Majesco/THQ in 2002, Dark Arena is a first-person shooter set in a futuristic environment where you are the only survivor of a team sent in to neutralise a bunch of Genetically-Engineered Organisms (GEOs) inside a top secret training facility.
Back Track, Game Boy Advance
When I first played Back Track, my instincts screamed at me that this was a terrible game. The graphics are messy; the enemies look awful; the explosions have a really bad horizontal raster-style visual effect; health packs are called “Band-Aids“; the weapons are unimpressive; the draw distance is masked with a solid black shadow, which is disconcerting; the environments appear flat, empty and uninteresting, and the premise of the game – to rescue kidnapped humans from inside tubes – doesn’t seem very exciting. BUT… I persisted with it and found Back Track to actually be quite absorbing and challenging, when I eventually got into it.
Duke Nukem Advance, Game Boy Advance
