Omi @omik.bsky.social · 01/05/2026Hi there! Yes that's incorrect. Heave Ho was reviewed before Checkpoint had a scoring system, so legacy reviews were automatically added as 1/10 when it was introduced. We updated most, but obviously missed a few! I think this would be sitting at a 7/10 if I were to go back and score. 010
Omi @omik.bsky.social · 23/04/2026Interesting Battlefront 2 (2005) cover rip off caught my eye in the oppy today. Apparently, in 2005 The Sun released a Star Wars Heroes and Villains disc respectively. The DVD features actor Anthony Daniels (C-3PO) giving basic overviews of SW hero and villains Guess no money for a new cover 🤷 010

Omi @omik.bsky.social · 25/09/2025Will dig into this one! First statement was enough to intrigue me as a reviewer. I review games that I'm an existing fan of, but mostly games that I am not.
