Prey

If there’s one thing the 360 appears to have no shortage of, it’s mediocre shooters. This one is very pretty, has a good variety of things to shoot but is otherwise as dull as dishwater and filled with completely unneccessary bad language, presumably to get that all-important 18 certificate. It’s a yawnfest. Are you noticing

UGVM Retro Week – The Hobbit (Spectrum)

Ok, so I played this to death as a wee tot. At the time, the ability to type actual English (well, nearly) into a computer and see the characters in the game respond. It wasn’t my first adventure game, though, having spent a silly amount of time playing DEC Dungeon (i.e. Zork I) on a
