Feature | Cosmic Spacehead is illogical and a mess and I still love it
Use icing sugar for what?!
Cosmic Spacehead is a weird mess of a game that felt truly a thing of its time. I can't see it ever existing now. Originally released in the early 90s, I stumbled across it in that way that tends to happen when you're only about 9 or 10 and your access to insightful games media is limited.

I'm not sure how my Mum retraced her steps but a few days later, I inadvertently spotted it in her suitcase and discovered exactly what my main Christmas present was going to be. To be fair to nosy-child me, I never said a word. I acted surprised on Christmas Day, appreciating the importance of the occasion, and dived straight into the weirdness.

Obviously we would much rather be cramming ourselves into a cavernous expo centre with you lot, but that is not practical or safe right now - and there's something to be said for having multiple channels of panels, demos and more beamed straight into your home.

Here are two of the greatest games ever made - and Super Mario Sunshine - in a compilation that's in so many ways lacklustre.

Digital Foundry | Super Mario 3D All-Stars: remasters, emulation - or a mixture of both?

Pumped, even.
