My Flicky cab is currently on loan to Arcade Club the largest Classic Video Game arcade in the UK. When I last visited it was some 45 minutes north of Manchester. This version of the place was featured in an episode of Inside Out on BBC One. Since then they have moved to Bury, now only 25 minutes…

Lean game critique and essays on formalism and methods of representation. Primarily mechanical breakdowns, although there's occasional narrative, thematic, or aesthetic analysis as well. Extra attention is given to action-puzzle titles, unusual arcade releases, and other games from the '90s and '00s. As informative as possible in 1000 words or less (most of the time)!

Games From The Black Hole

A blog about old games (and sometimes new ones) all written from a unique, subjective perspective informed by personal history, a background in print media and a belief that it's more important for games to be interesting than it is to be good.

GemuBaka

An archive by D.J. Tatsujin attempting to "fill in the blanks" for vintage games that typically do not have a lot of written information about them online. This is predominantly for vintage games and consoles/accessories, but I also have interest in arcades and indie gaming. These features typically have a breakdown of information published when the game was released to try to understand how it was received upon release and what those reputations are in the current day. I also occasionally do resource guides to attempt to feature FAQ-style information about select games.

Talking about video games through weird personal angles. Emphasis on deep-dives into mechanical depth, while still trying to extract an emotional core from those experiences. Lover of weirder arcade and art games! :3

A personal blog run by me, Clayton Anderson. The overwhelming majority of my blog is dedicated to writing my thoughts (at varying levels of effort) about each and every game I finish. I particularly enjoy retro/vintage games, but I play plenty of modern releases as well. I also dabble in hobby game development (when sufficiently motivated) and blog about that as well. As this is a personal blog, I do occasionally make posts that are not about games, but the RSS feed provided here is specifically for the "video games" tag.

Press Pause Radio

Here's the thing—Press Pause Radio has the goal of trying to distance ourselves away from any other podcast you may hear about or listen to. We range on a multitude of topics, from current events in the video games industry to many different retrospectives that made our once scoffed upon "juvenile" entertainment into a respected media platform among music and movies. To give you a bit of background on Press Pause Radio, our demographic is any gamer within the age group between 15 and 35. Our podcast and website encompass all different genres and play styles, but we mainly focus on providing insight and exposure to products developed by Independent game companies that provide fresh experiences within a medium that suffers from recycled ones. We cater to a variety of different tastes for the gaming public that's presented in an alternative, but professional manner, emphasizing the importance of an independent and educated voice. So kick back and listen! Feel free to message us with any ideas you may have for the show, or just plain message us.
