New review for SiN! I thought I knew this game inside out and it would be a quick review of an old run and gun FPS. I was so wrong. There is so much going on in this game and I still don't know if I like it.

My gf and I alike are big 90s FPS fans and SiN was one of her GOG sale finds that we've barely touched but do like what we've tried of it. I did hear the "make you my bitch" line which I'll confess did make me laugh, mainly because it was delivered so damn flatly and awkwardly with zero emotion whatsoever. The talk of hyped up nonlinearity in an ultimately linear game with secrets is also giving me Turrican vibes

I think I have seen promos on magazines back then and later watched the movie but only recently I played the game, I also couldn't help comparing to Half-Life and Deus Ex, although unfovaroble to both (history not as intriguing as Half-Life and game mechanics not as great as Deus Ex), still it was quite fun with its more fast paced combat, I also quite liked how you use terminal using DOS commands

it's really just basic DOS commands, but it feels so h4x0r typing in the terminal :P

@overclocked Turrican is the last recent review I have to catch up on from your site! You made me laugh you are right that line is delivered very nice and politely. I do somehow like and loath it at the same time, it's definitely worth a go.

@pirahxcx Wow you watched the movie as well. There are dozens of us! Were you disappointed it was so different?

I watched the anime long ago, I don't remember the story very well anymore :P (and I played SiN for the first time one or two months ago)
Great movie list! In a classic dad move, my dad let me watch Killer Klowns From Outer Space when my mum was out one night when I was about 8 years old. To be fair I think he didn't realise what it was, but still. Genuinely scarred for life.

Yeah funnily enough it didn't make me scared of clowns at all, just scared of scary clowns (and gore and death). I did watch it years later and it was fun but it still lurks back there in the uncoscious somewhere!

Hi thanks for the follow! Coincidentally, I recently was trying to search lots of places for Bloodsport (the old marial arts movie) and I didn't realise why I kept getting blocked. Now I think I'm on some kind of list.

It took me too long to find you. Awesome reviews! I never heard of Hardwar and Giants: Citizen Kabuto before, but they look great.

I have never played a Wario game and it sounds way more involved than I assumed, I always thought it would be a knock-off Mario platformer. Sounds a bit like a precursor to Mario 64 in terms of going back to the levels and so on. Great write up thank you!

Resisting my urges to name-drop all of my favourite virtual and real-world pinball tables right now, ahahaha. I also loved Sonic Pinball Party and often bring it up as a good entry point for someone wanting to learn Pinball. MPM looks like charming fun too, and I do have a bit of fondness for the Muppets, so this will be on my ever growing backlog too. Hope you're holding up well in the midst of bad news/work!

@MSX Thank you so much, among other things my dog died, she was nearly 16 but my best friend so still very hard to take. Crazy coincidence you're a pinhead I never meet pinball people here in the UK! Please do, what's your top real table and virtual one?

Losing a pet is always awful, I've experienced that pain and grief myself twice now, but the time with those pets are always worth it. As for pinball, in terms of digital pinball I'm a fan of Digital Pinball: Necronomicon on Saturn, as well as Pinball Fantasies on Amiga (specifically the Amiga version). The physics in those games still are a bit floaty but feel good overall and are ahead of other games of that time.

For modern pinball games, I really like Visual Pinball, especially because of how customisable it is. My favourite physical table is probably Scared Stiff, but I also really like Funhouse as well. Ever since I moved to another city I haven't been able to find any local physical pinball tables, and I've been going into withdrawal!

After the mega-review of SiN, a short look at the expansion pack. Surprisingly the devs are directly responsible for ruining the games industry (alright I'm exaggerating).
And if you're looking at the dates of the URLs yes I spent all Xmas and New Year playing all three SiN games and I only partially regret it.
