The eleventh RPS Christmas cracker

Every year we are put in a cardboard box full of straw and carefully packed away in the treehouse attic, until Graham wakes up on January 3rd and chains us to our desks again. It’s a cosy little break for us, but we don’t want you to feel alone. That’s why we’ve left these special crackers for you, for every day of the break! You can find more articles, or just help us buy a clean box for next year, with the RPS supporter program.

Now, time to enjoy your lovely joke!

Hypnospace Outlaw has delivered this year's hot Christmas jam

The biggest musical surprise of this Christmas is not the back-to-back Christmas Number Ones for songs about sausage rolls but a monster jam coming in hot from Hypnospace Outlaw. The Chowder Man, a faded rockstar you might have encountered when surfing the information sleeperhighway, released a Christmas song over the weekend. It’s named Christmas Pain In Christmas Town and here’s the thing: it’s an absolute banger. A proper great Christmas song. A friend who doesn’t know Hynospace likened it to a Carly Rae Jepsen song, which is one of pop’s highest compliments. And the Hynospace-y music video, oh my!

Star Trek: 25th Anniversary has so much to teach modern games

Past Perfect is a retrospective column in which we look back into gaming history to see whether old favourites are still worth playing today.

Please update your nomenclature from Star Trek: 25nd Anniversary to Star Trek: 52th Anniversary. It is indeed a worrisome 27 years since this first Star Trek graphic adventure game came out in 1992. But sure – SURELY – it must be absolutely unplayable rubbish now, right?

I mean, let’s look at the ingredients: TV/Movie tie-in game. Non-Sierra/LucasArts early ’90s adventure. Three decades old.

Thing is, it’s, well, it’s pretty good.
