Farewell Sir Clive Sinclair

It was the summer of 1986 when I got my very first computer. A ZX Spectrum was in the living room waiting for me as I got in from school. The feeling of playing games on a home computer system was just mind-blowing and if you had one then you were the envy of the whole street. Remembering classics such as Jet Set Willy, Manic Miner, Chuckie Egg, and Jetpack. The ZX Spectrum was a marvel in home entertainment. It was also very affordable at a price of £125 it was way cheaper than anything else on the market. But it was the games that made the computer so memorable as you could get games for as little as £2. All of this was thanks to Sir Clive Sinclair. The man behind it all. Sinclair's first array into electronics was back in the 1950s with Sinclair Radionics. But it was in the 60...

Saints Row Reveal Press Event

It has been 8 years (0r 6 including Gat Out of Hell), since a new addition to the Saints Row series. For the fans (myself among them), the wait is now over. Volition & Deep Silver have been working on the latest title, Saints Row, releasing on 25th February 2022.

As the boss, this means building The Saints from the ground up alongside your trusted lieutenants Neenah, Kevin & Eli. Together they pursue their own goals carving out a piece...
