Update (Again)

I was hoping to have another review up this week, but I have been informed by the domain owners of my mirror site over on SiteRubix, that my site over there is going to be deleted. This means that instead of getting another review up. I'm focusing on transferring my reviews onto my tumblr and deviantart accounts, so that I have them back up somewhere in case anything happens with my main website here on Blogger. Thanks for understanding.

Update

Hey there, as followers of this blog may have noticed, I haven't posted a new review for the past two weeks. Normally I try to have a review up every other week. I haven't been able to for the last two weeks as they were the last two weeks for my Final Major Project at college. So I was focusing on making sure everything was done and finishing up any left over work. This has meant that I have ended up a little behind on the reviews. Though I plan to have another one up next week and hopefully I can get back into a more regular schedule. Thanks for your patience.

A Brief look at Robot Wars

Something a little different from me this time, I've decided to take a look at one of my favourite television shows from my Childhood. Robot Wars first aired on BBC Two; on the 20th of February 1998. The first season was hosted by Jeremy Clarkson, who many people will recognise from Top Gear and The Grand Tour. For the first series it was quite clear to the producers and roboteers that Robot Combat in the UK hadn't got to the point where two machines could battle it out at that be the basis for the entire show. Many of the robots seen in the first season were just boxes with wheels, some were even owned by the studio and had to pull out of the competition before the battle rounds. In order to make sure the show would stay interesting, the producers decided that instead of just battling one another, the teams would have to complete a series of challenge rounds, such as the Gauntlet, Pinball, Sumo, and Tug of War. The teams that did the worst in each round were eliminated, leavin...

Update

Due to mounting work at college and a desire to have more free time to myself. I'm changing the rate at which I upload reviews to my site. Previously I've tried to maintain a '1 game per week' schedule. As a 1 man team this means it's quite demanding for me to write the reviews, and it also gives me a pretty short window in which I can choose what game I want to review next. I also feel that if I take more time between my reviews, then I'll be able to improve the quality of them. They'll be longer and may even have images as well. As it stands, I'm not completely satisfied with the reviews I've done so far as I feel that I could have gone more in depth if I'd had more time to type them up. So from now on I'll be uploading a review every two weeks. This means next week there won't be a review, and I'll take the extra time to pick a game and review it more thorougly. I hope you can understand my reasons for doing this.
