Thumb Bandits (2001 - 2002)

UCP: The GamesMaster Retrospective

Have we all got our degrees in thumb bending at the ready? In the ashes of Bits rose Thumb Bandits on 4Later for a short-lived run that was heavily hated online. Mostly because they often got things wrong, sometimes because they fancied Aleks but hated Iain, and massively because they gave Max Payne a bad review. It was also a show that was heavily re-edited and re-filmed after airing. So let's take a look at it.

There's reviews of New York Race (PS2) and WWF SmackDown: Just Bring It! (PS2), previews of Shrek (Xbox), Transworld Surf (Xbox) and Batman: Dark Tomorrow (GC), and a look into the adverts that will be selling you things this Christmas season. Plus, the Kangaroo Court compares Headhunter (DC), Time Crisis 2 (PS2) and Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon (PS2) to see what's the best shooter out there.
