New content, new links and more

Hi,

This week I have some new additions to the Videos and Games page of the Revival section, and several new links that I have found recently.

First up, the Videos page now features a short video from director Shane English, in which a Pac-Man style scenario is brought to life through some fantastic video and effects editing. Watch the video here.

The Games page now also has some information about the new Captain America web game that has been released to tie in with the upcoming movie - http://retrorevx.co.uk/Games.aspx

If you look on the home page you will notice a slide show banner has been added to the top of the page. This is to help promote articles and sections that visitors to the site might not have been aware were there. The promoted pages will be changed on a regular basis, usually to coincide with the publishing of a new article or page.

And finally, here is a round up of the new links added to the site.

Blasts from the Past #1: X-Men Games


Hello all,

Today I bring you the first of my "Blasts from the Past" articles. These articles will focus on games from different gaming systems that share a similar theme or topic. Today's issue looks at X-Men games from the late '80s and '90s. It has been a lot of fun revisiting these games again, although as per usual I've experienced issues with video recording, editing and uploading that has delayed the articles publication. After many hours of perseverance though, all the reviews and videos are now online for all to enjoy.
